Surf Green fo sho!

I saw this bass on a road trip. I would have bought it if it hadn't been over priced.

I think it rocks with the white PG and Rosewood.

Surf Green always has been one of my favorites on a Strat. Sounds like a plan. And that's a GM color isn't it?

Used on a '57 Chevy

Surf Green is one of those colors that you really love or really hate. It forces you to choose a side.

Still going for shoreline gold or inca silver... black pickguard of course.

I don't think that's surf green in the pic. It's Sonic Blue.

You might be right. The owner claimed it was Surf. It looked green in person. (photo looks a little more blue)

Surf and Sonic are so close. Search images.google for "sonic blue fender" and you will see some look blue, some look green.
I've seen a difference between MIA and MIJ colors.

Dirnt owners:

While we are waiting for the lacquer to dry out....

what strings do you like on the Dirnt?

I've been thinking about Chromes (flats), I do mostly finger style, Rock beat.

Thanks for your input!

im using the labella jamerson set on mine, sounds great with a neck like the dirnt has the tension is not an issue

BTW i think elderly has them for 29 bucks

I had slinky's on mine for the one day before I got it home and discovered the truss rod was shot and returned it (bought it out of state at a guitar center - luckily they let me return it at a different store - it was used)

My main at the moment is a CIJ '51 reissue, I love the body style and tele headstock, but that pickup in the dirnt really makes that bass. I'll be picking up another one in the future, I'm sure of that.

Also, I absolutely love the surf green, that's going to look killer when it's all back together.

Chrome Flats on one, and TI Jazz flats on the other..... I am growing to love the TI's more than the Chromes, but I think cost has something to do with me not moving to TI's on both.

how cherry would that look with a pair of white pickup covers?

I have 760fl labellas on mine. Sounds sweet.

question for yous Dirnt owners. Is the truss rod Allen key or the cross head?? The Fender site is saying it's the allen key but mines the cross head at the body end . Odd ball? or have they changed it

I parted 2 dirnts out on here last year, cool basses, I love the pickups in them.
