Cat Burrito Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I quite like it actually but I agree not for an original 63 bass. Or even a Fender! Reminds me of a Japanese copy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moos3h Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I'd be more worried about that crack in the neck....ouch. Can't see anyone going for that at the asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Saw that last night and thought, Yup, that's a [i]factory quality pro sunburst[/i] re-fin if ever I saw one. Not. I reckon he must have got hold of a job-lot of black and was trying to use it up quickly. Good excuse to go to Las Vegas, mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRISDABASS Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 That has to be the worst sunburst ive ever seen!! Just awful!! Im getting to the point where i just dont get the whole vintage bass thing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbass Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 The front I quite like, its almost like the paint has aged from sunlight exposure and gives it an old look but the back is not that great for a bass costing that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golchen Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 "It has been expertly refinished with a factory quality pro sunburst " I'm no expert on these things (to put it mildly!) but that finish just looks ..... wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skankdelvar Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) Looks like someone sprayed the red [i]over[/i] the black. Horrible as a re-fin, but quite nice if you'd never seen the original finish on which it's supposed to be based. Montezuma-burst? Moos3h is right - that crack's a shocker.

Bassassin Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I wouldn't be particularly worried by a crack like that on any of my own basses - however I wouldn't be too cool about it if I was thinking of paying 3K for a vintage Fender. Likewise the interesting hide-the-ply BowelBurst refin. If it wasn't for the huge chunks of finish knocked off the edges I would think it was hiding something, rather than just being rubbish. Jon.

Paul Cooke Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 is it me or is the nut broken on that bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
