My Berryburst was also a Paul W. project. He made another almost like it for Jeff Thomas.

Yours is the one on the right? The lighter one? I like the lighter one more than the darker one, but both look great!bassduke49 wrote:My Berryburst was also a Paul W. project. He made another almost like it for Jeff Thomas.

My '72 is the one on the right. Jeff's on the left was a later one that he had Paul backdate with the addition of checker binding and sparkly inlays. It has a darker shade on the edges of the burst.

Man, those are both sweet lookin' basses

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

I'd like to see a simple transparent red (no burst) that shows off some nice wood grain and figuring. This is my newly acquired 2010 ash American Standard Strat with a trans red finish. The same color would look great over figured and/or flamed maple on a RICK.

A simple trans red like this would make both of my Bird's Eye Maple 381s absolute stunners!
