I always read it 'As a T' even if the name ASAT probably had other origins for real. It had to be something other than the T(elecaster) but couldn't hurt to keep it close. (To clarify this was simply my thinking and there is no source nor do I claim that CLF himself ever had the same line of thought.)

LOVE the tobacco sunbursts on the middle 2.
And what is the headstock color/tint on the one with the dark fretboard?
No clue.
Reminds me of that weird aging that happens on some of those old Fenders.
Well, whether it's natural, or a vintage tint from the factory, it looks fantastic.
…could be nicotine / tobacco tar. Does it have a distinctive smoky odor?
Guessing thats probably the ol nicotene + UV tint. I had an L1000 like that and while it looked cool, mine was gross.
From watching the pic it reminds me of my '78 and '74 Fender basses. If I remember correctly, when bodies already were finished with poly instead of nitro, the headstocks during the 70s still had a nitro finish applied for years because they had troubles with the decals when they sprayed with poly. Maybe G&L did the same in the earlier years?Well, whether it's natural, or a vintage tint from the factory, it looks fantastic.
You rang? LOL

I swapped my Tribute tuners for G&L USA ultralights. (Details here.)
With this, plus strap locks and a Levy's strap, the bass is feeling very comfy and I'm really vibing!
Oh, and finally got a daylight pic

@RocketMusic I think he is referring to the Fullerton Deluxe versions, not 750 Series.
