Here's my "aquaburst" Kiesel Icon 5 with the darker blue pushed out nearly to the edges. It's my avatar!

Sherwood Green with a burst of vintage tint on the matching pickguard...I guess that counts.
And a nice Algae burst!
The G&Ls usually came in Blue burst. Mine was a Green burst.
Thanks. Unfortunately no, the back is black. But the Quarter sawing was outrageous (sold it last year).

I'll Play! I have two....Godin Shifter Classic in Black Burst, and Schecter C-4 Custom in Trans Red....
I've already added my Silverburst Jag here. I just like this picture of it and wanted to add 
It really is a stunning finish. Here's my Vanquish.
My Schecter C-4 also has a very subtle black cherry burst. I'll try to get some pictures of it later.
No picture there, mate!I've already added my Silverburst Jag here. I just like this picture of it and wanted to add
EBMM Sterling, Blue Dawn.
Hamer Cruise Bass, Redburst.
St. Blues Legendary Bass. Not sure what they call this satin finish, but I likes it.
Heartfield DR. A reverse-bursted pearlescent graphite color. Can't remember what it's called.

I did some deep digging and found a Fender manual from 1990, the year they put out the Jazz Bass Plus, which has the same 'verse-burst. The official name for that finish is simply "Pewter", but the "Pewter-Burst" name a few TB'ers use for it seems even more appropriate.
As for "Unusual Bursts", I am a huge fan of BlueBurst. Mighty Mite made a fantastic run of them!
Sadly, I suspect their licensing agreement with Fender has run out, as I haven't seen any bodies come from them in a few years. Nowadays, only used or NOS bodies pop up for sale.
Sheldon calls this finish "Colaburst" because it is what the sunset viewed through a glass of cola looks like to him. I don't know if this unusual method of viewing of sunsets is a habit with him or not...
