Please share your Burgundy Mist Metallic....

I consider my earlier post a more accurate example of Burgundy Mist, but the mfrs of the 3 basses on the left call the colors you see here Burgundy Mist.

So, sort of a shiny lilac then?

If it was LPB I'd have no issues, but I'm struggling a bit with the color. This would be my last bass (unless I sold something). I've been narrowing it down to a fretted MM/J or a fretless, and I found a fretless version of the MM/J I was looking at - just in Sire burgundy mist metallic.
 
I'm awaiting a Precision body with dual Jazz Bass pickups.

I'm a precision fan who hates Jazz Bass Bodies but understands that they have a sonic purpose!

It's getting a Warmoth Neck and an MJT body.

While I'm waiting - please share your Burgundy Mist Metallic anything. Basses, Guitars, Acoustics, Ukes, Cars, Etc. !

Did you finish the bass? I hate J bodies too (J basses look fine on everyone but me)..

Burgundy Mist is such a cool finish with lotsa versions out there. Here's another version of BM as found on the (discontinued) D. Lakin basses. Darker, with a hint of copper and less purple/lilac, depending on lighting. I like it as much as the original Fender version.

Fender's BM on this FSR, as it would have looked circa '63 (except with a greeny white guard).
