Please share your Burgundy Mist Metallic....

Burgundy Mist you say? Let me drag out my lefty MIM Jazz, it's something like that...




Old pics, looks different in the bright sun, but I think it's Burgundy Mist?

 

Ahh, right, it's just wine red, sorry, but still a cool color. It wishes it was Burgundy Mist though.

 

2002 Fender FSR MIM. Burgundy Mist, exactly how they looked back in the day (except for the fancy knobs of course). You can't tell by these pics but the guard has a greeny hue, pretty much like the originals.

 

That colour's name is Midnight Wine.

 

Nice Bass! What strings are those with the burgundy mist silks?

 

Thanks. It's a refinished CIJ PB70-US/Ash with a CS '59 pickup. Oh, and a new (old) pickguard. I'd posted a couple more pics here: The Official Fender Precision Bass Club (Part 8)

 

Thanks!

Ha, they just look like that in the pic. A happy accident I guess, the silks are actually gray. The strings are an NOS set of Dean Markley flats that I had laying around for years....real old school thumpy sounding, a good match-up for this bass.

When I got the the bass it already had Hipshot tuners and a type "A" bridge, and DiMarzio stacked jazz pups installed (which you can see in the pic). I changed out the bridge for the Fender vintage style, replaced the Hipshot tuners with Gotoh Res-o-lites for better balance and a little less overall weight. I've since dumped the blah sounding DiMarzios for a pair of Fralin single coils. It kills now.

 

If this bass wasn't here I was gonna put it here...

 

I have a red bass that I am totally, completely smitten with, but I keep thinking of a refin, and BMM keeps heading the list of options...

 

Had my ugly and beat blueburst '88 Stingray refined in BM last year. Added a mint/b/w guard and it's a beaut!
