That little tramp sure must get around!
Last I knew, Bassplayer1494 (Dom) had my blonde! That's one of my few "sellers' remorse" basses. Oh well, I have one of your old Genz-Benz Shuttle 9.0's!Here was my old Blonde at a casino gig:
wow ... now I'm not sure if I bought it from you or not ... I'll check.
ahhh the genz benz .... she is in her prime.
I had a brand new 60th blonde and sold it .... regretted it and bought another. I have seen the light.

My burst 60th P had cured my gas until I had a chance to pick up a blonde one as well.
For the sake of my bank account I'm glad that they only made two colors.

I still have the blonde 60th and I will probably never get rid of it. Trust me this baby ain't getting no lovin from anyone except me
The Hipshot D-tuner is the absolute ONLY mod I'm planning for my 60th, which is actually a new record for me. I've only installed strap locks, which for me is saying something. I've never owned a bass this long without finding something I want to change. Still madly in love with my 60th, dings, dents and all. She definitely has some mojo workin'.
the right hipshot for this bass looks great - not seen when not used - and was super simple to add on.
Also in the eye of the beholder, my friend. It's more heavy duty and durable than my AV62 RI Jazz whose buckles and clips are failing after a couple years of gig transport. Lighter too. SKB cases are fantastic, IMO.
Indeed. Mine is always picked to play over my other basses. Still gets played every day. It's starting to show it, too.
For laughs I looked at the serial numbers on my burst and my blonde and they are way apart. I sort of assumed that the numbers would be somewhat close since they didn't make a huge number of these. Mark my assumption down as incorrect.
I thought the sunburst ones were a special run for guitar center ... might have been done after the blondes were produced.
Yes, they were (a special run for GC). I'm not sure though whether they waited until the Blondes were produced before starting on the Bursts. Seems like they were available simultaneously if my memory serves. The Bursts just weren't advertised as widely as the Blondes. I was told by Fender that approx. 125 of the Sunbursts were made.
EDIT: I just looked at the S/Ns on my Blonde and my Burst. I no longer own the Blonde, so I'll "X" out the ending S/N for it.
Blonde: US11120XXX
Burst: US11115005
So my Burst has a lower SN than the Blonde, even though I got the Blonde first. Doesn't mean anything though, since I bought my Burst used from another TB'er.
ooooohhh Ohh no .... felt a bit of a G A S bubble there for a minute.
I'll have a sit and a soda and fan myself till it goes away.
