Time to presto chango. This time, let's go with the three transparent colors that are available for the Cheyenne bass: Trans Red, Trans Blue, and Trans Green. I know, there are a couple custom jobs using these colors on other Ricks, and those will be fine to include. But most of what you will see for the week of 13-26 April will be Cheyennes.

Chrome and VVT, two of my favorite mods on a Cheyenne, besides the fifth tuner mod.

Scott?

Come on now, I know you have a picture or two that may be appropriate...

Don't think I'll ever tire of these transparent finishes!

Not a big fan, but that's what makes the world go round, different tastes! I like my wood like I like my steaks, no flavoring (must be corn fed for this to work). Even the MB had to grow on me. I drool every time I see a Cheyenne with the walnut wings and maple neck!

Well, in case nobody else comes up, here's Erik Kutzler's 4004Cii Trans Blue in a formal shot:

Thanks Paul. I was having trouble resizing a decent picture. My 4004cii is a bit of an anomaly with the pickup spacing, finished fretboard, and lack of walnut wings. I believe Biscuit-boy's maple 4004cii is this way too.

Paul, I light the effect of the lighting on your seamless background, it compliments the bass very nicely.
