I'm considering purchasing either an SX SJB-75 in natural finish, or a Squier VMJ, and it basically comes down to the finish (considering I'm going to change the hardware and pickups). I prefer a nice satin or matte finish, and the VMJ's at the local music shop seem to have that nice, soft finish. The SX's on the Rondo site seem to have a super shiny, glossy look to them... but I was wondering if anyone had any good pictures of the SX SJB75NA that they could post?? I searched many of the SX threads and didn't see any good clear shots of that particular bass. Thanks!
I had an SJB75 LTD in Natural, with the white blocks on a Maple neck. It was an amazing bass for the price. It was not at all shiny like the photos. It was nicely grained and the coating was even all over. It sounded killer too. Here's a few photos:
