flip Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I love that green jazz, Andriano is one of my favourite players too. He only seems to play precisions now though! I'm definitely liking the look of the Sunburst Geddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzz Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Erugh, sunburst. Any other colour would have been nicer imo, apart from tobacco burst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebob Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Anybody know where the sunburst picture came from? I've looked on the Fender site, and can't find anything out about it! Incidentally, I've just picked up a black one - and even as a dedicated Ric man - it really is a fantastic bass!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynepunkdude Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 My God that is an abomination. Strip it down paint it bright orange/green then you have a bass a 'new' colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidbass Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Most of the time, sunburst basses are made with a slightly better quality of wood than ones with solid finishes though. Due to the see-through nature of the finish, they can't afford to have a piece of shoddy wood underneath. Buy one and get it refinished maybe? The neck and pickups are worth the price alone really, much better than any MIA Fender I've tried. Also, it's the same colour scheme as the '73 bass Barry Devlin used in Horslips, incidentally, it also has a parrot attached to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 Im a fan of tradtional bass colours. I love sunburst. If I get a Geddy the Burst will be the one I go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I'd go for the rosewood with MoP inlays. If you're going to do a trad retro look might as well do it properly. Black blocks on naked maple just look a bit naff. They aren't even inlays on the GL sig models, just painted on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
