I've seen an early Fender Precision Bass (pre-CBS) and I noticed the yellow and wine colors in the sunburst are different from my reissue bass. Does anyone know (for reproduction purposes...) what this type of sunburst is called?

It has been some years since I've seen the bass, and I've never seen one like it since. I wholly regret not buying it. The closest I've seen to it is the Booker T & The MG's greatest hits album cover. :lol:

Well , I only know of the tobacco sunburst which is the color of my 51 pbass on the left . And the three tone sunburst on the jazz bass 5 on the right .

when you have a sunburst that is reddish on the borders instead of black it is known as a cherryburst .
