Azureglo coming my way . . .

Post by bassduke49 »

. . . from Davis Guitar Works. This is a refinish of a '72 Jetglo that I took ownership of mid-project from Bryce Gracey. I was very impressed by the restored '72 Azureglo that Trotty had a few years ago (remember it used to be black and red?), so when this opportunity came up, I just had to go Azureglo. Should get it the end of January. Just a hint here:

I'm a confirmed grainaholic, but I do own one opaque painted Rick, and it's azureglo... Great color, congrats! :D
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

AZG with the early features is always a good aesthetic...

Is the top one the PW restoration? That's a Kinks bass to me, you know - She's Got Everything. Love it.
