Awesome 50th bday bass - very similar to my 50th bday bass. Love your choices - mine is a rosewood board with no face dots and regular chrome hardware. #8 satin neck. One of the RocketMusic run from 2014. I need to take a new pic as it's wearing a gold sparkle paisley Quickguard these days.

It's always interesting to me how lighting & background affect how photos look. The hanging one seems more true to the actual color of things although none of them show the 'sparkle' in the pickguard. The bass is just straight natural finish - no vintage tint. Love the Quickguards - I have another on a clear blue JB2 I've hacked into being an L1K and it has a silver paisley guard on it. I just like pickguards (and control plates).
