Question Stingray/Sterling colors

[BassMent]

So, how often does EBMM roll out new color options for basses?

The reason I ask is that in the past there have been some really unbelieveable finishes... I'm thinking of Copperhead Bronze, Lava Pearl, Desert Gold, and the holy grail, Autumn Redrise.

It seems like True Gold and maybe Olive Gold were the last really interesting colors and they've been gone for a while. The current color options are... well... a bit conservative, it seems to me.

So, when are you guys gonna shake things up with some snazzy paint jobs?

I give you snazzy.

So beautiful!! Could we see the backside, please?

Old school is the way forward. I've always been into the traditional colours...and now it's becoming fashionable to have those colours!

Personally, ebs look best in sunburst, white or natural. Black is cool but i'm not into black so much.

 

[Chuck B]

Great looking burst!

 

[Movielife]

Is that vintage sunburst or tobacco?!

 

[Frantic Slayer]

Is that vintage sunburst or tobacco?!

That would be vintage sunburst

vintage sunburst = 3 tone sunburst (Black/Red/Natural)

tobacco burst = 2/3 tone sunburst (Black/(Brown?)/Natural)

this is how I understand it

 

[bovinehost]

You frantically slayed that question, sir.
Vintage it is.

Question for Jack... what is the body like without the pickguard, is it a bit a la Jaco or does it show all the electric cavity and innards?

I mean to ask, would it look normal without a pickguard? I am referring to the Big Al 5 SSS

 

[bovinehost]

Haven't a clue yet.

 

[Grand Wazoo]

Haven't a clue yet.

Well you're no good to me alive are you Jack?

Now I have to wait til my bass turns up to find out... tsk

Thanks anyway hombre. surely someone else would know, specially if they have changed their p/guard for a different one.

 

[BassMent]

Ummm... okay, you guys like vintage sunburst. Hey, my fretless SR5 is honeyburst, which I chose because it complements the rosewood fingerboard so nicely (and I swapped out the picguard for white pearlescent, which looks really nice).

But, no one's really addressed my question, which is whether EBMM on some regular (or even irregular) schedule introduces the more adventurous finishes which have frequently graced their products.

Does anyone know?

Thanks.

Currently the best colour IMO is Lamborghini Orange

But it's a custom made one....

I remember having seen a picture of a pickguardless Big Al and it has it's cavities facing up (like a Stingray), so, yes the pickguard covers stuff.

 

[kylierider]

I like the orange too..But it would have to be on a Stingray.
