Whats up guys...
I am looking to get my first musicman stingray 4 string and wanted to see some pics before I chose the color and pickguard.
I torn between the pacific blue burst and black cherry burst both with matching headstock. I am also not sure whether to go with the black pearloid or white pearloid on either of these colors.
Any photos of these would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Tim

There's a Black Cherry Burst and a Pacific Blue Burst in the picture thread stickied up top. Both are SR5s and only the BCB has a matching headstock but I am confident that they will help you visualize both better and help you make a decision.
Black pearloid gets my vote but I really think these finishes are better with a plain black p/g

Oh heck I like to show mine off anyway.
Big Poppa and his crew make some very nice basses.

The following pic is a Silo, but it will give you the idea of the Black Cherry with a Black Ice pickguard.

I thought that also, but I think it's just the angle of the lighting/shadows.
He's a french artist from Quebec I believe. I think I picked up the pics from this forum. Probably the music forum?

Both are great colors. I went with the PBB because it was the color I fell in love with when I first discovered EBMM basses.
