Hi all. I've been gassing for a P-Bass for quite awhile now, and have taken a very strong interest in the Sunset Orange Transparent color.
I was wondering if any of you would be kind enough to show me your Sunset Orange Transparent basses. I'm probably going Fender again, but all basses welcome! I'm kind of hoping to see both maple necks and rosewoods. My thinking right now that would look best (to me) is a rosewood neck and a tort pickguard, but lets see what else is out there. :hyper:

Thanks,
gg

That is pretty cool. I noticed how the seller stated how it is hard to photograph how good the color looks in person. The only picture I have of a sunset orange transparent is in the "available finishes" of the 2006 Fender catalog, and it is of a guitar and only about 1" square, so it's hard to get a really good idea as to how good it looks in person. So...keep 'em coming!

Thanks,
gg

Right here we have an example of how the color of a pickguard can influence how the color of a bass is pereived - Peter G's Sunset Orange Jazz with a Silver Pearloid pickguard darkens the bass considerably (to a nice effect, I might add) compared to the numerous ones I've seen with a standard white of white pearloid.

Interesting phenomenon...

Thanks for all the pics everybody. I'm really liking the darker neck. I'm also thinking tort or black for a p/g. Since I've been gassing for a P for over a year now, I'm hoping to pull the trigger within the next month or two. Until then...more pics welcome!

Thanks,
Greg
