WWYD: What Would You Do?

[Jason Hebert]

Buttercream Sterling for $1125, or Blue Dawn for $900? I think I know what I'm doing already, but you know.. Like to ask..

it would depend on headstock and fretboard

 

[Jason Hebert]

BC has a RW board.. BD has maple neck and no MHS.

 

[phatduckk]

i have both of those combos so i guess i'd buy both

it would be hard pressed to pick between them. honestly, now that blue dawn is back i think id go with BC cuz blue dawn is everywhere now

 

[petruccirocks02]

Jason, I'd say go with the Blue Dawn, but then again I'm biased because I love sparkle finishes . When it came time for me to get my first EBMM I had originally settled on a NOS Buttercream Stingray, but quickly changed my mind when I saw the Blue Dawn Sterling. Mine has a RW board and no matching headstock. No regrets at all.

How about a one year old HS black/MHS/rosewood/black ice in amazing shape?

(I haven't thought of a price yet - just that I am going to start selling a few "extra" basses)

PM me if you want to discuss further.

BC - if you were talking a Bongo it'd be a toss up but since there are all the LTDs AND original BDs floating around you'd be harder pressed to find a BC later.

buttercreme is my favourite finish i think... like a creamy rag to a bass bull

 

[Caca de Kick]

Buttercream! and the case kicks butt too!

Older Bluedawn Sterlings show up on the 'bay all the time.

I'd get the cream for at least two reasons :

1. personal reason : I prefer the buttercream over blue dawn
2. the buttercream LE should hold a better value

 

[mrpackerguy]

I would do WJWD. Actually, I don't think you can go wrong with either. The Buttercream might hold a little more value because it's LE. But the Blue Dawn is a really cool color and it's cheaper. I'd probabyl go Blue Dawn.

 

[asianjeff]

Buy the butter cream and sell one of your kidneys and place an order for the blue dawn before the window closes.

 

[Dr Stankface]

Buttercream. I dig mine.

 

[Aussie Mark]

BC. Classic, with tons of resale appeal.

 

[Jason Hebert]

I'm leaning towards BC..
