Buttercreme Yellow or White?

[stingray96191]

So i just got my new to me, minto condition Buttercreme SR4.. and after playing with it for few days, i keep wondering whether my new bass is yellow or white? I'm leaning more towards yellow. What do you guys that own these think? the color is very different in person that it is on a pc screen. But all in all its the classiest bass i have ever owned.

From the pictures I have seen it looks more like an off white or an aged white. So, it's a white with some yellow in it!

I'm a guitar player - what color do you want it to be?? LOL

Not sure what that means ex-zactly??

 

[saxnbass]

I see it as a white with yellow tint.

Creamy goodness ....

I would describe mine as off-white (with a hint of yellow) ....

That colour always looks better with a bit of wear on it IMHO

If anything, i'd say it's REALLY off white.


Although I think really, it's just buttercream.

It's white.

My white Ray turned buttercream after 17 years:

It's white.

My white Ray turned buttercream after 17 years:

that is 17 years of the clear coat yellowing. I almost guarantee there is yellow pigment in the buttercream paint.

Next time you get a chance, make up a batch of buttercream icing. I am tellin' ya, the EBMM boys got it straight from Duncan Hines. My all time favorite color they have done.

Yellowed.
I call it a vintage white, which means it's yellowed.
I also have an old white 78 Ray that has yellowed, and my buttercream Ray is about the same color.

Huh!?

Not sure I understand the question...

I own one - it's Buttercream...

i would choose the white one (maple, mhs, tort or blackice pg) over a buttercream one.

 

[Moondog]

yeah - right, the buttercream is more yellow.
My 17 yr old white aside my buttercream FL:

Definitely more white than yellow. But it has yellow in it.

I've got a Buttercream Bongo and, to me, it literally looks like the colour of Butter.
In that sense, it's extremely well named.

What colour is butter?

I think it looks awesome.

why no more white bongos anyway?

Mine looks different depending on the light. I took my SS camping a few weeks back and was playing it outside and it really yellowed up in the sun. Indoors it is much more subdued.

A very cool color, and probably my favorite of the LE finishes so far.

Darker colors have more low mids.

Off white, sort of a creamy white. Might be yellow in 25 years. I'll get back to you.
