Yes, Howard, I'm a big bloke, and Jessica is a good sport. And a very nice Midnight Blonde vocalist! Bob, I like the white/white idea for color of the year. Second only to Midnight Violet....   Howard Bishop (Ozover50) Senior Member Username: Ozover50 Post Number: 1376 Registered: 01-2005 Posted From: 220.240.241.114 Posted on Thursday, June 30, 2005 - 03:17 am:    Please give my regards to Jessica when you next see her, Dean..... 'a secret admirer from Down Under' and all that!! Maybe you could ask her to autograph something for me and send it over - I'll pay!   Ronan O'Connor (Los_sentidos) Senior Member Username: Los_sentidos Post Number: 199 Registered: 04-2004 Posted From: 194.73.117.233 Posted on Thursday, June 30, 2005 - 04:16 am:    Diamond is the traditional things associated with 75 years...so maybe in the same way that there were 'shadow' and 'tuxedo' models there could be a special edition 'Diamond' white/white, special binding and engraving on chrome, scrolls (along the lines of the pattern on the 4004LK) on the tuners, tailpiece etc...   Robert Callaghan (Red_rob) Senior Member Username: Red_rob Post Number: 140 Registered: 02-2005 Posted From: 194.74.48.4 Posted on Thursday, June 30, 2005 - 06:35 am:    White with gold trim - including binding. Like a White Falcon! Oops, back on to Gretsch again..   Ronan O'Connor (Los_sentidos) Senior Member Username: Los_sentidos Post Number: 201 Registered: 04-2004 Posted From: 194.73.117.233 Posted on Thursday, June 30, 2005 - 10:11 am:    No gold please unless it's white gold! We can't have 'bling' basses!   Howard Bishop (Ozover50) Senior Member Username: Ozover50 Post Number: 1384 Registered: 01-2005 Posted From: 203.220.83.226 Posted on Thursday, June 30, 2005 - 10:18 am:    White and gold would look too much like a golden wedding anniversary cake (like a White Falcon, Rob). I agree with Los - no bling! How about gun metal grey (Iraqglo) with black binding (body and neck) and platinum trim...   Robert Callaghan (Red_rob) Senior Member Username: Red_rob Post Number: 143 Registered: 02-2005 Posted From: 194.74.48.4 Posted on Thursday, June 30, 2005 - 12:03 pm:    Iraqglo! Nice one Howard! Shouldn't the binding be depleted uranium though? :-)   J.

I think it'd be neat to do something completely new. Still, next year SHOULD be purple. "Midnight violet" sounds GREAT, Dean.   Graham Twibell (Arbiter) New member Username: Arbiter Post Number: 13 Registered: 04-2005 Posted From: 69.204.173.108 Posted on Thursday, June 30, 2005 - 04:10 pm:    silverburst like the old Les Pauls
