Yeah, exactly like that. I'm going between Seafoam Green and Daphne Blue. I've painted samples on paper plates but I think I"m going to spray an old body this weekend to get a better idea.scottme wrote:

Re: Any Custom Shop Bass VI RI news?
You are correct, the body is bleached and I think that is the main reason for the difference. The yellow really looks yellow, not greenish like the reissue.sookwinder wrote: Gizzorge , had a look at your CS Bass VI and it looks damn good...
some observations if I may...
- the sunburst seems quite close to the original. They must be bleaching then spraying/soaking the wood in yellow before the red/black. Never have liked modern sunbursts when compared th 60s /early 70s bursts. This one comes damn close

That would be great, DB. If you see one somewhere, give me a heads up, please!DB wrote: I'll let you know on the bridge, but I'm probably going to keep it as they are hard to come by as I'm sure you know.

Re: Any Custom Shop Bass VI RI news?
My bridge pick up is sitting at a slight angle right now. All of the other pick ups are level. They seem to sit low, but the distance between the pole pieces does not seem really low. I wonder if they are custom bass VI pickups (taller?). They are different than the AVRI Jaguar pickups I have on my Jag....

I believe they are Custom Shop Jag pups, with the middle reverse wound.Gizzorge wrote: My bridge pick up is sitting at a slight angle right now. All of the other pick ups are level.
