Let's see your burst basses...

[countrybass5]

So many beautiful basses! This really makes me want to try a G&L.

And here's my contribution. I know it's just a lowly Squier but I think it's a nice burst.

That is what I'm hoping mine looks like.

Gigging with my 1987 MusicMan Stringray. Except for a new battery twice a year and new strings every now and them, its been untouched since I bought it new. I think the neck needed tightened twice in 31 years and I tuned the bridge around 2000.

[GwenOnBass]

Looks like quality.

Very nice burst...thanks for sharing.

Thanks. I love this bass. It may very well be my favorite that I've ever played or owned.

That looks like a nice bass...sounds like you got your money's worth out of it.

I've never seen a bassfish before. How does it sound?

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

Who puts out the T40? That's a nice looking bass.

It’s just a little jazz bass. Fun to pick up and noodle with. There is only one tone and one volume dial, so both pickups are always on, with no apparent way to blend.

I want to order a little googly-eye and attach it for a full “Fishy” appearance.

that was Peavey's great entry into the bass market of the late '70s
for some reason it seems their bursts were better looking than most of the natural finishes I've seen, some of which are horribly grain-matched, this one was quite acceptable. not too shabby for $400

Sounds like you got a steal.

$400 is rather good for a looker but it's shocking that T-40s still go for relative peanuts, or any Peavey for that matter. I'm a big Peavey fan and I'd waited over a year for one just like it to show up and as soon as I locked it in the world came knocking on the seller's door begging after sitting online for over a month lol
