Amazing. Fretless R/W J and a Maple fretted P. All wrapped up in 3tsb. Loses points for no tort though.

Haven't posted much lately - possibly some re-posts. I think we've posted most of the distressed finishes available! The last pic (butt-view) is supposedly a bass that James Jamerson owned which went up on auction. (sold for $68,750 beans!) Read all about it! James Jamerson Bass Sold at Auction

ummm - yes

Oh my oh my!

Yah man, looks to be pale Fiesta Red over black or 3TSB - pretty damn hot.

Is it strange I'd never buy a sunburst instrument, unless it looked like these?

No.

Not strange at all. I'm fairly ambivalent about sunburst finishes - like any guitar finish they can look good or just so-so. It always looks good on hollow-bodies!

I think I was an archeologist/historian in another life...

My tb thread content is becoming an annex of Pinterest - so here's a particularly large collection of distressed finishes on one page!

It was a multiband British Invasion show I played. I was in The Rolling Stones and the Beatles

This is my 1955 P-bass. Original blonde finish that someone had painted over with red. The red was painstakingly removed back down to the original finish. I really love this bass!
