This discussion thread gets me to wondering: Why did Streetly finish the original 400s in white in the first place? Was it simply to make them stand out from the other instruments on a stage? Any thoughts, Martin?
The guy who used to paint them had once worked in a refrigerator factory.
It was either white or avocado as far as he was concerned. Streetly wisely
insisted on white. The y did test one 400 in avocado. I believe Frankie Stickle
has it in his kitchen.
