Timely to resurrect it though because Fender is bringing back Antigua so there is a lot of potential for some new worst-in-class bursts here.

Though I guess with Antigua it is less of a burst and more of a rot or decay look

Still a kind of burst, yeah. I wonder who ever had the idea of the Antigua color scheme. that’s just crazy.

Didn’t you say, that my favourite bass (Revernd Dub King) I’ll never have is antiqua?

it’s kind of a John Waters burst

Antigua is a green/green burst with an added burst on the pickguard. “Vomitburst” could have been a nice name :nauseated_face:

it’s way worst than this green burst :

… which is already very, very ugly to my eyes, to be honest.


Bonus point for a faded Antigua with the burst on the F-holes :

Couldn’t you have used the word “Vomitburst” in conjunction with the Dub King before? I would have purchased it!
I love this word invention so much, that I need to buy something green right now! Anything!

I should trademark this name :joy:

You should! Do you also have an idea for this colour? My own idea is NSFW :frowning:

It’s ugly because of the combination with a tortoise pickguard IMO. Otherwise I like this metallic purple.

But sadly it’s not a burst … :smiling_face_with_tear:

The pickguard will be replaced. Maybe by shiny silver?!

The finish is “micro burst” :wink:

yeah a mirror plate would be cool and would hide the junction with the metal control plate. otherwise, black or white would work I think.
