Does it come in any other model except the 50's RI MIM?
I really think it blows 3tsb out of the water...

Someone will correct me, but I have NEVER seen an original Fender *bass* in two town sunburst. Plenty of Stats... no basses.

I had a MIJ or CIJ '51 RI in 2 tone. One of the lightest basses I ever had.

Am I the only one who thinks it totally beats the standard three-tone?

I guess the Tobacco Sunburst is really a 3-tone - natural in the middle, light brown and dark brown/black but I think most people consider that a 2-tone sunburst because there is no red in there.

I'm not a fan of sunburst, but I do like the two tone better than the three tone. It just has that old '50s look.

Thats why you get a bit more growl out of 57RI P.
