Gotta Love Eggplant

[admin]

I have always been taken by the Eggplant finish. From the Register here is a 4001 from 1973 in Eggplant finish. If you have one, please send in your thoughts regarding this finish. This is such a deep gorgeous finish that really sets of the binding.

It truly is such a gorgeous color. When I get tired of the Snowglo on my 4004L perhaps...

A finish that I wish was not discontinued.

I remember nearly buying a brand new 4001 exposed at a retailer in Rome back in 1983...I had no money

Sounds familiar, Francesco. New guitar, no money.

Though I love a good fireglo, the dark, dark burgundy from the late 60s early 70s is my favourite colour. And my 4001 from 71 KA002 is still my dream bass. https://www.rickresource.com/register/v ... p?id=10030

Jon what a gorgeous 4001. Dark burgundy is a knockout colour. Thanks for sharing it.
