Hey guys. A little over a year ago I purchased a True Gold SR5 with the matching headstock and duel pickups. I love the bass and really like the color. Many bassist have commited on the sound but really never say anything about it's color. I've notice a lot of sunburst,honeyburst,black and colors that are more on the darker end of the scale. Sometimes I wonder if they view my color as more suitable for a girl. After all I suppose gold is not exactly a macho color.
