Big Al 5 single H (rosewood) choices

S

sitonmybass

Although I believe that I've made a choice, it was only after having changed my mind once. I'd like your opinions, I'm curious as to what all of you might choose and why; it might even make me reconsider. I'd like all of you to take a guess as to which one(s) I'm considering.
TEASER: My current EBMM basses listed in my signature may or may not provide a clue...:rolleyes:

I'm hoping that this thread will receive numerous responses before I even announce my current choice.

Here's the list; remember, they're all Big Al 5 single H's with rosewood fretboards.

Black/black pearloid pickguard/matching headstock

White Pearl/black pickguard

Sterling Silver/black pearloid pickguard

Candy Red/white pearloid pickguard/matching headstock

White/shell pickguard

Either Sterling Silver or Candy Red. I've yet to see a red one, that would be HOT.

And Sterling SIlver looks great on everything, but you already have a Bongo in that finish. However it could be cool to have matching ones...

At last night's gig I played my Sterling 5 single H which is white with a black pickguard and rosewood fretboard; it is indeed a classy looking bass. AND IT ROCKS! :D

Going by the list of what you already have, id say that you might be going for the "Candy Red/white pearloid pickguard/matching headstock" or the "Black/black pearloid pickguard/matching headstock" They would be my two favorites to go for.
(the matching headstock usually wins me over)
BUT!!! lighter colours like the "White Pearl/black pickguard", and the "White/shell pickguard", seem to ME to suite the style of the Big AL better ??? its a tough one .....
