    As for discontinued finishes, i really like blueburst, but if we count also limited editions, trans black would be my best choice

    And I own a trans teal SR5 that I think looks great!

    I think all of my basses are discontinued/ limited colors.

    I love Mt DDII, and RedRise, and Buttercreme, and Sequoia Gold, and Copperhead Bronze.

    I would love to have big al basses in Red Rise and Copperhead Especially.

    After Playing with the Al Since i received it, it feels like the bass was built special for me. It hangs in just the right spot, is tonaly amazingly adjustable, and the neck feels perfect. One day maybe i'll have another one or two. Maybe with 3 humbuckers.. That would be insane.

    Erin

    I would also love to have something in Trans. White

    I am new to EBMM basses. I know very little about the discontinued colors other than the fact that the True Gold SR5 HH was cut from the list shortly after I purchased mine. I think it's a nice color and am not expecting to see another one during my gigging. I'm not only proud to own a EBMM bass but am proud of it's color also.
