Too bad they didn't burst the headstock. Not sure about the amber knobs being the best choice. Thumbs up to the pearloid pickguard.  :thumbsup:

 Not gonna lie, other than the arrangement of the knobs I rather like it!

 I think you should buy it Uwe, the new Non Rev  is not the same animal as the previous reissue at all. It's my understanding that you actually need another bass!  ;)

Not to my taste. Don't like that burst combo at all.

It looks like they just sprayed some darker blue around the edges of a regular Pelham. And only on the body. Not really thought out as a burst. The mother of toilet seat pickguard and gold knobs aren't helping either.

I'm getting a John Birch vibe from that finish. It just needs a heavily lacquered maple fretboard with discoloured white block inlays.


I quite like it!
