    What I've to do for a custom color

    I guys, can someone tell me how i can get a stingray HH , rosewood, matching headstock with a custom color (warmoth dragon burst)? It is the dream of my life but ernieball tells that they not make custom paintwork!!
    Do you think that they make an exeption or they can sell me an unfinished bass to make it painted here in italy?
    Thanx everyone for any kind of answer.

    Peace

    Your best bet is to buy a bass with the configuration you want, and simply have it refinished. It won't be that much more for someone to strip the paint before they put a new color on it.

    In fact, that's your only bet.

    If they made an exception for you, they'd have to make an exception for everyone else who asks for an exception. And, then, BP goes nuts with a tire iron about the breakdown in production. No one wants that.

    What Bassmonkeee said, buy a Natural StingRay HH, and let someone strip it and re-paint it. Good luck, if you do this, please come back and post pics, I've never seen a Wormoth Dragon Burst color.
