That shade of gold is unappealing to me. Could be his camera, though.

Not worth what he's asking, IMHO.

I like the color, it seems to show best in the shot with his lawn as a background......
But hey, let's beat a very dead horse and discuss which color hardware and pickups would make that bass look better..................Black is sooooooooooo............................. disappointing  ;)

Gold, obviously... :vader: :popcorn:
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Based on my photography background, I'd guess that the outside photo is the tru color (with flash brighting up the indoor case shots).  Either way, looks like a shiny sandpaper..........

Me too. That kind of paint would be more at home on a bass boat.

Horses for courses. That kind of fin wouldn't have been out of place with a funk band playing on Soul Train in the seventies.

Turns out Uwe was right about the neck being a 3 piece with no walnut.
Still no grain filler either it seems. Kind of a hack job for the illustrious anniversary.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Yeah, looks like another one of their sprayed satin paint over non-filled mahogany jobs. Disappointing. Okay on my sub-$500 Melody Maker, helps keep the cost down. Not acceptable on any $2000 instrument, much less an anniversary model.
