Egyptian Smoke or Graphite Pearl?

[dhines]

So what do I have here? Looking at the thread on what pickguard looks best on a Graphite Pearl bass has made me realize that my new Bongo is quite possibly NOT an Egyptian Smoke as stated by the seller I purchased it from.

Don't me wrong. I wasn't set out to get a Bongo in Egyptian smoke. The color's fantastic regardless of what it's called. I simply like to have my facts straight! This is by far the baddest fretless I have ever played and I won't be selling it for anything. I can't wait to get a fretted one, in fact.

Here are 2 pics. One with flash, one without. I for one am pretty partial to the Black Ice pickguard.

Very good then! At least now I won't die wondering!

It just seemed similar to some of the pics of Graphite Pearl. Thanks for the responses!

Graphite Pearl.

Best way to tell definitively is to see if it takes on an odd green hue under certain lighting.

they are similar, but ES has a hint of gold in it, which you can see in the pics

oooh, that's it. I've been looking for a better color to describe the odd hue. One step further, maybe bronze.
