Wow, a "Beatles era" bass from 1981. The early '80's really was one their best eras. :lol:

What's up with that black stripe on the headstock?

I was wondering the same thing myself. And memory is a little fuzzy right now, or maybe it's the camera lens filter, but I recall 80's Burgandy glo to be a lot darker, almost wine red.

They had a different name for that particular finish that's on the bass for sale, but I'll be damned if I can think of it. :oops:

I could be wrong, but that black stripe might be something as simple as a piece of black electrical tape. Zoom in on the image and look at the ends of the stripe.

I own a '79 Rick 4001. Definitely darker, more wine colored. That finish is most likely "Ruby". I've seen several Ruby or Red finish Ricks with black pickguards, but personally never seen a Burgundyglo with one.

Ahh, I see it now. I think you're right.
