loweringthetone Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) Nice bass ! I have a Q on the colour. Azureglo or midnight blue ? The colour seems intensely radiant for azure, as the azure Ricks Ive seen personally have been much duller....yet I dont think midnight blue was out that year?. Im confused, but this is normal for me. Any experts on Rick colours out there please ? PS Presume the colour is original ?

PS Presume the colour is original ?[/quote] Hi there - the finish is of course original, but I'm not certain about the azure/midnight nomenclature. Probably why I called it Blue What I can say about the perceived radiance (presuming you mean colour vibrancy) is my choice of lighting for the shots has a direct bearing on the photographic outcome. The difference, for example, in the first shot with the model and the individual close-ups illustrates this quite dramatically. Again, if I was to shoot this low-key it could appear almost black, hi-key and a much lighter, paler blue would result - but the intent is to show the beauty and finish as best I can. I hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS73 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 On the side of the neck, at the nut area, are there any lacquer cracks. A close up pic? with perhaps a pleasing background Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lysdexia Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 • A close up of the binding at the nut, both sides. • A close up looking slightly down onto the binding. Hope these help More importantly - having had a quick check - the binding is in excellent condition around the nut and throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
