    for my next one, should it be honeyburst/rosewood or natural/maple?

    I'm about to pull the trigger on an SR4 HH, but I'm stuck on the finish. I dig a maple neck on a Stingray and who doesn't like to go naked, but that honeyburst is so sweet!

    or I could just go hog-wild and opt for white/maple.

    Between those two, personally, I'd go with the Honeyburst, thats just a great finish...but I also like Natural....... well, the good news is, whichever one you decide on, you'll be happy with it!

    Or just do a Darling , and order both!!!!

    Imho, go hog-wild, gotta love white/maple!
    bovinehost: Yes, I do agree with that, but if there's nothing wrong then there's nothing wrong.
    Beth: I would compare Bongo to Tommy Lee Jones. Bad a$$ and just hot in a weird way...
    cheezewiz: They should take their lace thongs off and play bass.

    honey is a timeless finish!
    o wait, so is natural.

    man, i went rosewood 10 years ago because of an advertisement i saw, on a honeyburst, and I've never ever regretted it.
    I enjoy the slight mellow darkness of rosewood boards, but that is just me.
    Maple cuts through a little more than I like....even though I own a couple maple boarded basses!

    just pick what you like best.

    PS. Mirror/Rosewood/Honey looks badass.

    Go Honeyburst!! I love my Honey more everyday. I'm spoiled . They have ruined me. Nothing even comes close to touching it, except another.
