And now for something completely different (SR5 Content)

I'm going to follow suit and say that although I don't normally like the gold bits on these models, that body colour combo with the the pickguard is one of the nicest I have yet to see!

Top job

Thats officially on my list of the most beautiful SR5s ever.

And I think the gold hardware is great ... like the warm color.

I think that almost every time a picture of a MM bass with gold hardware is posted, there are comments about not being a fan - more so than any other feature/option. Maybe it's because I own a 2006 LE with gold hardware that I take more notice. Anyway, I find it interesting - personally, I love gold hardware. I think gold hardware is classy - and a refreshing change from chrome that's likely used on a very high percentage of all basses produced. Another common comment (or perhaps misconception(?)) is how gold hardware tarnishes more so than chrome - I have had no issues in this regard so far. I clean and polish my hardware - just as I do the body - which removes finger oils, acids and prevents oxidation. Just an observation - to each their own of course.

Mr. Noob, That is one excellent combination. That pickguard really brings everything together. Good job!

Yep! It made we want a bass in that color very bad.

Even more since I had the chance back in 2009 to get a Sterling 5 HH from Thornton Davis in this Color, but then came along the Stingray with the bfr neck.

If you want to give that away...

Wow, that looks SMOKIN on the sequioa gold.

I remember when Thornton was selling that bass -- I looked really, really, REALLY hard at it and even exchanged PM's with him about it. That was where I first got the idea for the Baltic Amber PG.

IIRC, by the time I was ready to pull the trigger, he'd pulled it off the market.

Absolutely gorgeous. It's got lovely plumage. (to keep the Monty Python theme from the title going)
