Fender 60th Anniversary Precision Bass

No, but my blonde has a spot on the treble horn where it leached the dye from my clothing while playing sitting down. The lower edge has a reddish tint now.
The purple looks cool but as I look at it, there's no black. It's consistent, not a sun exposure fade or anything. Maybe I have the only purple/red burst
Maybe whatever color/dye they used is leaching into the wood or it's reacting with whatever finish they used on it.
Kind of unrelated but I just recently finished up my project bass. It is my first bass and its a precision because they are my favorite kind of bass. Anyways... Me and my dad beat the crap out of it, took a blowtorch to the back of it and sanded down the finish and I got a dimarzio model p installed in it and it sounds freaking tight!!!! Also had chrome knobs put on it as well..Definitely a good bass to compliment my 60th. Now I have a p with flats and a p with rounds.. B)
Ill post a duo pic asap!

Well because it is a precision and its a good compliment to the 60th that I already have.

I took a good look at mine again. The edges are definitely black. Nothing purplish about it. When I first saw that pic of yours, I just assumed it was the lighting making it look like that. But you say it actually IS purplish, huh? Yeah, you might have the only one like that!
Really purple. I really notice it. I suppose it's my P 60 P. (Purple 60th Anniversary Precision)
I wonder if there is anything untoward about it. Like a fake or something. The sound is awesome. The s/n is US, the finish is nice and thin. The body is light. The only prob I have is one fret is a little sharp. Very uncharacteristic but not painful at all.
Year 2051 - the 100th anniversary of the P bass.
Alongside the new "100th" limited edition P bass appears all of the previous anniversary editions; including the most prized of them all - a single iteration made during a run of only 150 burst models for the 60th anniversary: the much coveted "Deep Purple" 60th. Only one is proven to exist and, to this day, it is unclear why.
