|  | Registered User | | | | | the one i saw on ebay a while ago actually looked like a photo transfer onto the wood, the grain looked almost exactly like a subtle print of a bengal tiger's pattern, i was going to get this bass, but i couldn't pull together the cash so i just got a vintage black one |

The other option was solid paint. I had a Blue Burst L2500 and The nicest part about it was the natural wood "Binding". Binding in quotes because it wasn't actually binding but the edge left natural.
Blue Burst is like a fad and faded really quick for me. I loved it at first and now I don't like. Just like Gold finished hardware.
