Hmmm, I might have to refinish my Discobass. I like it in this blue!
Yah - saw that a few days ago. When I was restoring mine I collected a few examples of colours it came in -

It was LPB originally, amber'd to that greenish hue -

Got her all cleaned up, refinished, put back together and playing/sounding great !

It looks fantastic, you really did that bass a favor in taking that finish off of it! Once again, De Cola pickups and a set neck = great!
Hope you're feeling well too!
