Hey, I have a question
I've seen a couple of trans teal finishes before, but this (in my opinion) is just absolutly amazing, http://www.theperfectbass.com/explore.cfm?STORE=Y&N=122&SN=164&CT=101a&PG=102600101&W=STORE&P=N&S=1001081&U=1&SS=1&CR=Y
You might be thinking "thats just blue, silly goose"
but it looks a little different, I am in love with that finish.
Do they normally make them like that, or did they get lucky with that finish?:confused:

I'm pretty sure that the reason the link is down is because I just bought this bass.

If this is the bass, then it's not a trans teal but a Pacific Blue Burst.:D

This must be the trans teal Beast is trying to link to...

Normally trans teal is a little lighter than these pics. Maybe the flourecent lighting makes it look darker.

OP sorry for the confusion, but I was in shock :eek: when my wife showed me what she just bought for me. I like trans teal too, but really love the PBB. Again sorry for the misunderstanding:rolleyes:

you can't lose either way! they're all good.

personally of those "choices" I'd go with PBB, then Trans Teal, then Trans Blue.
good luck!

I recently took delivery of a tranny teal Sterling HS with abalone guard and maple fingerboard with painted headstock. Stunning. I requested a mo blue than green, at time of order, but it can go either way depending on the light. She actually looks mo green in person!
