matching!

It's not honeyburst, but I bought a cherryburst Sterling from the Dubaldos, the MHS looks great.

Thanks for the picture, I photochopped it to make it look honeyburst but im still not convinced.. I really wish I could find another picture of the honey burst/black/rosewood/matching.. I KNOW I like non matching but I haven't seen a good picture of honeyburst with matching.. I don't know what to do and Im ready to order NOW!!!

Can't believe I came this far thought..
Honeyburst
Blackpickguard
Rosewood
and now!! matching?

Well... good you came that far

To me it is like this:
I like maple without matching headstock
I like rosewood with matching headstock
I don't like burst colour headstocks

However, there are those odd combinations where my rules don't even apply to myself...

Another Cherry Burst matching headstock at The Perfect Bass

I'm the exact same way and I played that exact bass.. Just didn't like the color

hey psychoward why is that picture backwards! ha ha ! i have both, i think that my rosewoods sounds a litle more growly, not as much high end but the maples have more bite to them and cut thru more with a live band, also they look better especially the birdseye ones i have

This is my choice

make that an HS and i'm with you.......



love all my rosewood stringed things,but i do have 1 maple necked guitar.......and it is nice.......so i think i'm due for a maple necked bass.

Maple syrup on Swedish pancakes

Rosewood, mhs.

MAPLE!! or the kitten gets it!

IMHO... rosewood has a more "organic" feel and sound, and i also feel that a rosewood neck will remain more stable throughout it's life, due to disimilar woods and expansion and contraction etc.. also it's easier to replace the frets in rosewood necks ( when needed)..so if you plan to keep the bass " forever"..rosewood!

but i gotta admit, black basses with maple boards are yummy!
