Doesn't look like they're in yet. TV Yellow is pretty exciting - like the old Combos.

I was out of the loop until this thread! Just calling 'em as I see 'em.

Angelo, what day are you going to the show? I wanna see the bass before you take it home.

John if I make the show it will be Sunday, but this bass is for the show, if it dont sell then perhaps I will get her next week, there are 4 more Sea Foam Green ones comming so if I dont get this one after the show I will get one of the other 4, so go for it John, you deserve this bass..

WOW!

That is THE perfect retro color even though it's never been issued before.

TV Yellow sounds very cool. Damn economy....

Too bad about the funny headstocks. And the prices...

The backlog is still about 18 months overall, with bread and butter items in the 9 month range; very little change really, although there's many more export orders inhouse than before.

A few color changes like this doesn't slow us down and beside, we need a little break in routine sometimes.

*self edit*

Sea Green is the correct color name

Jeff, Great American Guitar Show in Philly this weekend.

I was thinking, why these three colors. Here is a wild guess. They all fit a '64 theme. The Sea Green, like I mentioned earlier, looks more pale than the 2000 COY, more like Fender's Seafoam Green from the 60's. The TV Yellow is clearly a nod to Gibson (I hope the pickguard is black). And White could be a tribute to - Gretsch maybe?

Interesting thoughts, Ilan!
