Where’s the burst?Some very fine examples here ... Hope they play n sound as nicely as they look!!!
My contribution, which I hope uploads is a yellow transparent 2004 Michael Kelly Dragonfly, (purchased new) with original bronze strings ( keeping the Funk, per J. Jameson, who never changed his strings!)
Bumping bodies with the Dragonfly is a 2006 Dean B2(Brian Bromberg Signature model, before he moved of to several other manufacturers to make his signature model, which I think I understand why, but that for another thread) purchased used through a TB member this spring... The transparent green color, as I have been told by another TB member, was actually the transparent blue. I put the body under a bright reading lamp, and only then could find, deep in the maple flame, blue pigment. The fade of the blue dye is pretty even over all -- no splotchy spots, but there is a bit more blue around the tuning pegs, knobs and bridge -- again under the reading light... So, I guess I got a custom finish courtesy of father time and sun... I would be.interested if anyone has come across this...
BUT-- the wood grain flame comes through!!
And, unplugged, has a great tone and sustain ( electronics need some work -- pots n wiring... A former owner dropped in new DiMarzio jazz pups, not sure if he replaced the preamp, can't find any manufacture name -- yet --though, there is a handwritten name/number)
Hope this adds to the impressive collection, and keeps the thread going!
I'm strongly thinking about ordering a tobacco sunburst bass from Keisel. I just wanted to see some pictures.
I wonder if @Griffo knows what the official burst name Peavey used for this? Oh Griffo…My recently acquired 1984 Peavey Fury.
Some type of red burst or red violin burst. Not sure what Peavey referred to it as.

Is that big toe 2 tone or 3 tone sunburst?Currently only have two, both Fenders. But I sure have had a ton of them over the years!
