The gold, hands down.
Redburst reminds me too much of the guitars and basses I used to see at Two Guys and Great Eastern Mills.

These CinCity guys definitely do top-notch work!
I agree, The gold flake is very impressive.
My first Bass an Imperial MIJ bass from the Two Guys in Totowa. I didn't know Great Eastern even sold any instruments. I bought my Ric 4003 at Robbie's Music City in 1981. Every time I visit NJ, I wish I could still catch Ron Carter or Rufus Reid at Gulliver's.

My buddy bought a redburst Mosrite copy at the Great Eastern in Greenbrook. I used to go to Two Guys in North Plainfield.
And I bought this at Robbie's two weeks ago. Best Jazz bass I've ever played…no 60-vycle hum!
