What Colour is this? or EBMM Bass Finishes Guide

Mike,

You might want to check out the Graphite Pearl finish. To me, it is closer to silver than Egyptian Smoke. But I may be slightly color-blind ....

I think your pictures of metal flake brown are actually egyptian smoke. I'll email some pics if this is still being updated.

Holy crap!! I just bought one a few weeks ago..I did not know there were less than 10 of the 3 band rosewood neck basses made. This bass looks identical to mine. One or two scratches and the bridge has no rust. Part of the finish sort of looks pink in some spots. The mutes are still all there also. Mine was a late 92, so it was one of the first trans white finishes I guess. The old owner put a black pickguard on it but he did still have the original, which I am going to put back on. SWEEET!!!

Is Egyptian Smoke the current silver-ish color? Been gassing for a new silver SR4, but egyptian smoke is the closest I see. Doesn't it have a little brown tint to it?

Mike, good news for you .. we introduced a color at NAMM we are (maybe) calling Brilliant Silver. Keep checking our website for details.

the pink bearing out why the "Mary Kay White" nickname was given....

A pic of my Mary Kaye.

You can see a very faint pinkish hue. In other lighting conditions the hue is more like mushroom.

at least I won't run out of options to order a new one...

[5Stringer]

oli and all, these the preliminary colors/finishes we introduced at NAMM in Nashville .. we have no official pics yet so you can let your imaginations run wild with these color names ... these may or may not be the official names, but they will give you some ideas ....

Ice Blue
Sapphire Blue
Vegas Gold
Orange Firemist
White Magic
Crystal White Sparkle
Ultimate Gold Pearl
Brilliant Silver
Rootbeer
Electric Blue
Pace Car Blue

These are all solid colors and hence should be available on nearly all the instruments .. with the normal exception of the Steve Morse Y2D. Not clear which, if any, of the colors in our current lineup these would be replacing. Stay tuned!

You're making this up just to drive me insane, aren't you?!

I really really really hope for the sake of my bank account that I'll hate most of them...

Waitaminite.... ...so, you dare tell me the new colours are not ugly before my 116.28.21.01 on order has even arrived?! Damn!!

[oli@bass]

You are driving me up a wall. I can't wait to see the new colors! I've really been wanting a silver JP7.

It is like an etheral fire being consumed by the depths of the earth during a splashing of lava rain ... jeez, I am lousy at describing color. If forced - I would have to say it is somewhere between those two colors.
