Okay, here is my Honeyburst SR5, with the original white PG, black pearl and tort...
Which one do you like best? Any other suggestions? I dont think plain black
would look good with the white PUP...

Personally, I think they could be a little bigger.* :D

With the white cover, I think you need white pearl... the b pearl guard would be awesome with black covers.

I like the tort since it makes the huge pickguard stand out less. It blends very nicely with the beautiful browns in the finish.

If those are one or more SR5's you own they all kick azz.

I would have said "other", and mentioned Black...like what I have on my new HoneyBurst SR4-HH...but that white pickguard/pickup combo works well with that finish!

Very cool! :cool:

I'm with Andrew and Aussie Mark, white pearloid looks the best. If you wanted to be a little more "vintage-y" or "granola-ey" the shell would do it.

I have seen a pic of a similar bass recently, with black PG/PUP...
that looked real classy. This is where I lean, the white-ish I dont like somehow.

Beth, could you quote me (e-mail) on a black PUP and the little switch button?
even with the tort, I think that would make a big difference.

I think you are setting yourself up for disappointment by asking for a black pickup from EB/MM....It ain't gonna happen.

You'll need to find someone with a black pickup that wants to swap, hunt for a used one on eBay, go aftermarket, or find something you like with white.
