Desert Gold ?

lowendbob · Post by **lowendbob** » Sat Feb 12, 2005 4:00 am

Everybody has FG,MG,JG,MB,BB. I don't think I have ever heard of anyone on this forum that has a 4003 in desert gold.
If anyone has one, please post some pics, and give us your thoughts on this finish.

I don't have any particular thoughts one way or other, it either moves you or it doesn't. But here's a pic of my former DG4003:

BTW, I sold it because someone wanted it bad enough to overpay for it, and that gave me money for something else.

I think desert gold would rock with black trim and binding.

Dont get me wrong guys, I like the white trim also.

Mike Parks has a 4003 DG with black trim still in stock listed on his website.

i think a gold pickguard and trc would look cool.ive got a gold trc and pickguard just looking for the right bass,if only i could find a white 4003.

Or perhaps a Jetglo ??

scott, ive given some thought in maybe a jetglo c64 the pickguard is acopy of my 67 in clear plexi painted gold on bottom side same with the trc gold vintage type[but righty].actually a right handed trc looks really good on that reverse head stock[thang]

I thought that we were talking about Desert Gold, but here's my Jetglo 4003 w/gold pickguards and nameplate:

I think that black and gold look great together.

ron,nice looking bass,i think i met you at classic axe about a year ago i was looking at the 4003 in montazuma brown ,russ brought out his white 4001 and his 4004c1 from in back ,i came from baltimore ,we all talked for a while.anyway.

Yep, that was me Ken. It was really great talking to you that day. You should stop by the store again, Russ is getting some BBR's eventually, but he has a Monty Brown and a Blue Boy 4003 in stock.

Ron,
Where did you get a gold nameplate?? I'm converting the pickguard to gold on my Monty Brown and would LOVE a gold TRC to match.
