I'm strongly thinking about ordering a tobacco sunburst bass from Keisel. I just wanted to see some pictures.

ha! I don't need to be asked twice to show off my bursts even tho none are true tobacco bursts but rather the more common std. 3 tones. imo tobacco tends to favor the old classic, a Strat with a maple board.
Peavey cut corners on the Zodiac BXPs burst paint jobs so I got a hint of tobacco with the plate off.
my Cort Curbow Retro is far closer to tobacco
I like the classic Fender-ish 3 tone they gave the Squier VM PJs but don't recall tobacco on much of late
then there's maybe the best burst ever sprayed, the T-40s which I waited years to find in my price range
while I don't have anything postable of my '65 Fender BASS V this is a minty example, mine is not
I have more than I thot I did and plan on upping the count! lol

Thank you. I saw it offered on Reverb and the finish looked nice so I made an offer and got it. Looks just as good in person. Even though there's a thin band of red making it a 3 tone Sunburst G&L still calls it Tobacco Sunburst or they did when this one was produced. It's a 2009 if I recall.

Here's a 2004 G&L Tobaccoburst (long gone).
This is what G&L's original (1980) bursts looked like.
Turner Electroline.

I think this was a heavily reliced newer P

a minty Ric
a mega bursted Hayman 40 40
more mega burst, a late '60s Italian Sonelli Violitarra Hispana

Custom "Funk Machine" replica, nitro. With spitfire guard. (and, yes, flats)
Tobaccoburst Cavern, that I bought for it's sound.
(before I bought the one above, I checked a more yellow - blackburst Cavern in another shop, it had some chips off the lacquer, something had gone wrong with applying the lacquer in the factory, the salesguy said. They also had a purple-ish burst violin bass with blade pickups.)
And two sixties Italian hollwobody's with red- and sunburst.
