Isn't that more of a Natural finnish than Blonde?
I allways thought that Blonde was more of a transparent white.

No, I'd consider this fbass a natural finish:
My Jazz bass has a nice aged look to it, that looks far more "blonde" to me than natural.
Well, here is a 51 reissue p-bass that is considered butterscotch blonde:

I'd say the color of my jazz bass is getting very close to that.
Here's my '51 RI -- I find that the white pickguard makes it look not so "mustardy".

This Blonde enough for you??
'03 G&L ASAT, with Birds'-Eye Maple Fingerboard and natural wood binding.
Lest we think this bass is just another pretty face...
Remember it has (2) MFD Pups and the G&L tri-tone preamp.
Especially when played through either my all-tube Ampeg or Mesa-Boogie rigs--- It is FIERCE!

Gotta agree with James- alot of these beauts aren't blonde.
Nothing wrong with going natural,though!

IMHO, that is blonde. The others mostly are natural or amber/mustard. It can be a difficult color to define.
They are all sweet regardless.
