SB-1 in Navy?

In all my years of playing G&L basses I've never seen a navy finish option. Is this 1987 SB-1 a rare beast, or just a good refinish job?

It is likely Bahama Blue, which was an available finish for the SB-1, see: The Ballad of Bahama Blue.

Hope this helps.

It definitely does. Thanks!

Are you sure that's not just black? I've seen old G&Ls where the black fades and in certain light and photos, it can look dark green.

I never did buy this one, but am on the lookout for an older Bahama Blue bass still.
