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 

[Highlander]

Gold, obviously...

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.

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.
