This one looks great!

As a newtime classic, the Big Al will look good in about any colour-combination. Immagine Blue Pearl with blue swirl, matching headstock and ebony fretbord...

Or egyptian smoke with phyton and an all maple neck....

If you ever build one like this, please let us see it....

I really like Smallequestrian's Big Al. Gee, that sounds a bit dirty.
Anyway, it looks really great under stage lights. The Ice Blue / maple is killer, too.
I'm thinking I really need to join this club. A vintage white (buttercream) with maple and tort - oh my.

That color combo is awesome. I would love that combo in a stingray 5

Generally, a color gets the axe due to lack of sales.

Yah but they tend to stick around for at least a couple of years. I've seen colors come and go here, this seems to be the quickest turn around yet.

Agreed, but we've also never seen EBMM crank out so much new stuff in such a short amount of time either...gotta make room.
 
These basses are all stunning. I have a Blue Dawn Sterling and it is such a perfect bass that I figured I would never have a wandering eye for another bass again. These basses however are making me cheat in my heart.

I know that it is a versatile bass, but I just love the thunder of my HH Bongo. They sure look cool though.

I have owned a million electric guitars over the years but with basses I felt like I could be satisfied with one but I can still look. Heck, your sparkles have always been a reason to drool. I am a sucker for sparkles.... and Italian subs. I could really use an Italian sub right now.

Lisa, Hahahahahaha, Excellent!!!!! As I read your post I thought the same thing, yum, yum an Italian sub would be excellent. Thanx for the sparkle comment, they are my little chunk of heaven.

I felt I could live with just 1 MM, Fushcia sparkle, it was snatched out of my hands in the last 20 seconds of an EvilBay auction. But persistance got me the guitar and I loved it very, very much, and then I saw another and BOOM the addiction began. Luckly for me the $$ has run out, so I have to stop for now.

Later, Glenn |B)
