Two questions: Does it go brown > light green > dark green? (pit>flesh>skin) and can I put it on toast?

These are excellent and I would expect nothing less of a fellow Yooper (born and raised in Hancock, MI myself).
Binding is an interesting idea. I was thinking it would just be a very thin dark green outer burst.
I was thinking just that. A walnutty brown center, to a nice light green, a slightly darker mossy green, and the edge would be a really thin dark green band, not translucent. It might be too literally as a solid finish, but over a nice burl or flamed top? Hmm. If it's your bass, you can certainly put it on toast if you really want.
This top is perfect, brown centre to light green burst then rather than a binding do a dark green contrast layer. Then go totally nuts and put a dark green quilt on the back
The Mach II had two leads like a regular FD-3 but it was internally wired in series. I replaced the original FD-3s in two Afterburners with Mach IIs and put an FD-4 Mach II in my early Super J. It wasn’t long before the FD-3-4L came out and I updated again so I could have series/parallel switching. The Super Js dropped the FD-4 around the time Super Fatties came out.

One thing that I find remarkable is how different tastes are when it comes to basses. The one in @AB Nate 's post for example. Yeah, nice. But honestly, not something I'd want. Yet others are drooling over it (or offering body parts).
(before people expel me from the forum - I do of course want that Z3(?), but if given the choice, I could show you 20 other finishes on Dingwall basses that I would much prefer... including the one on the Z1 that's on its way to my house and that is for some reason still hanging out in Montana... Darn You, FedEx!!!!!)

Keeps things interesting. I’m sooo glad we don’t all like the same thing.
For me.... Solid paint.... usually last thing I’m interested in. My SP defies that rule soooo...... and then tastes change too?
variety is good.
this one was calling at me.

My wallet punched it in the face though and told it to leave.
