Fresh GAS for white-on-white SR5 HH

[freddy]

Anyone know if there is such an animal out there: white SR5 HH with matching headstock, white pickguard, white pickup covers, rosewood fingerboard. If so-- any pics?

 

[Baird]

3 out of 5!!! No matching headstock and no rosewood!

This is one of the nicest ones I have seen in any case. I am a rosewood guy too, but the birdseye maple board on this looks amazing IMO as does the maple headstock.

P.S. the price is high IMO.

Actually, I think you could get all of that except the white pickup covers...maybe if you ordered an H model.

There's a pick of one like that in this post...but it's an H with a white pearl pickguard.

Damn, i remember seeing that in the photo thread and thinking it looked exceptionally nice...

White is the best color on almost any bass. I would kill several of you (y'know, metaphorically speaking) for a white Bongo 6.

 

[freddy]

Thanks guys. Nice pics. I also saw a single H all white on the Bass Central site with a plain white pickguard. For some reason, I like the plain better.

What's with the statement in the auction about 100% working truss rod.... do some of them only work 99% of the time or less? I'm guessing they mean it is not "maxed out" but then again I have never seen one that was.

 

[Smakbass]

Thats a nice combo.......I have a white/white sterling on order it would be cool to have white covers too but ah well...

 

[bovinehost]

Dang, Thornton! Stop posting that!

I'm drooling.

 

[bigvissch]

+1 on Jack's comment. I love that combo more every time I see it. I reckon it would look even better in a trans White!! I live in hope....

Err... hasn't anyone noticed this bass is signed by the one and only Victor Wooten.

Thats gotta be worth something.

 

[MingusBASS]

I love Victor, but that actually lowers the value if you ask me.

 

[freddy]

Here is one from Bass Central. Anyone have an HH version of this?

If it was an HH, it would have black pickups. EBMM doesn't offer white pickup covers on the dual pickup models.

Not quite right but its something:

I love matching headstocks with white, but prefer it with rosewood (not sure why, maybe the contrast or summat) but anyways that is beautiful.

Another good one on ebay, there, but...I agree-- rosewood is nice with white.

 

[freddy]

Will an H bridge pickup cover fit on a neck H?

 

[mynan]

It should. You just have to make sure it's one of the newer-style covers.
