Oh wait, these are all Guitar Centre auctions and most are fireglos. Good thing we can tell the difference!

Another thing to remember is that Autumnglo is a satin finish, while Walnut is the gloss version, so many of the "real" Autumnglos posted are actually Walnut. I saw an Autumnglo in a store recently, and the satin finish looks very different from the gloss one (and, to me, is unmistakeable for gloss!).

As far as i know the satin finished AG was for the Canadian market.

Yes, I heard that, too. Makes the one I saw here in southern California that much more unusual.

It is Autumnglo, satin finish. I actually played that one at Guitar Center Fountain Valley a couple of weeks ago. One other guy was using their proper Ampeg rig so I had to settle for some cruddy combo amp where I couldn't even here the bloody thing (you know how it is in Guitar Center). BUT, it is a -nice- bass and feels sooooo good. The neck is slim and perfect for my small hands. Unfortunately the salesman wanted $1700, I told him I'd give him $1100 . He said he paid $1500. I said too bad.

Jared,harry those are both gorgeous,Jared that is the 8 stringer if I'm right ,talk about rare how many did they make in that color? 1

dunno,

The guy I bought it from says he was the original purchaser (they all say that).

Pretty nice shape-but the bridge was made during a blackout, at midnight, by a blind guy, with a dremel...

Well, we know it wasn't Jeff,its got a mute and no JB pickup.

I found this picture, which I think shows off the satin finish. I also noticed the lighting from this show is a little different than the earlier ones I posted, which have more red in them, while the ones in this thread look more brown, which I think is a more accurate representation of the actual finish...
