This one looks somewhat similar... kinda cool really. Not sure if it's burnt or it's possibly etched gilding.
This guy got a little carried away with the torch...

I love this GR Bass 2x12" cab...it is hard to believe that it only weighs 26-28 lbs...Amazingly light!
Like the bound neck. You wouldn't happen to have a picture of the entire neck?

No, found it on Pinterest a while ago. I could do a finish like that - I'm guessing it's etched silver and gold-leaf applied in an open random pattern. The gold pu's/bridge is a theme tip-off.
This is etched copper-leaf -

"Gee I wonder what their preferred picking/plucking position is..."
W/o seeing the back, I can only guess that its active... Vol/blend, Hi/lo, mid/mid perhaps?I was wondering why they need three stacked knobs for only two pickups.

It has a Fender/Kubicki 9v pre.

Disclaimer: As much as that is where my right-hand dwells... MJT did the "distressed" Burgundy Mist Metallic nitro finish and I augmented it to pay homage to Guy Pratt - credit where credit due. I think he calls it "Betsy" but he also has a vintage BMM P ... (whatever he calls it...)

It is I think, haplessly and by half-accident, become my dream bass, sound and playability-wise.
