Question Hey Bassies! :) what's your favorite MusicMan finishes of all time?

[keko]

Well, ...I wrote above my vote for a Candy Apple Red already, ...but now I remember Jack's Lambo Orange Burst reflex!

 

[tbonesullivan]

Candy apple red is a nice color. Classic. awesome. There are so many good colors to choose from. Personally though I think MM's translucent colors take the cake. Though, Lava Pearl is a nice color too...

This isn't even close, the newest honey burst is crushing it, mostly because of the neck, headstock combo with the finish, the whole package. If you're just looking at body, then its closer

 

[RaginRog]

Lava Pearl, Trans Gold, Several of the Blue finishes

 

[cellkirk74]

Medallion Gold
Olive Gold
Sequoia Gold (I still need one of those)

 

[drTStingray]

Truth is I like them all but here's some favourites

Natural
Sunburst
Honeyburst
White
Blue dawn
Blueburst
Stingrays with pastel colour finishes (coral red; mint green; powder blue; peach)
Tangerine pearl
Sky blue

 

[rutgart]

PDN Gilded White or PDN Black Sugar

 

[b-unit]

Blue Dawn

I have to admit, that blue dawn finish is fantastic.

 

[Soulkeeper]

I used to like natural and (semi) transparent finishes. Couldn't stand bursts, thought they were the definition of boooring.

Then honey- and cherry-burst instruments started sowing doubts in my mind.

After having bought a vintage sunburst FL SR5, and noticing how damn stylish it is, I'm shocked to find that I'm actually starting to like that even more than my trans red.

Shocked, I tell you!

Update: Here it is, btw.

Surprised no one has mentioned Venitian Redburst from the 25th. That was a special one.

Turquoise Pearl would be my second.

 

[Holdsg]

I like this best currently:

 

[jlepre]

Hmmm...if you LIKE it so much, why is it for sale?

 

[Holdsg]

oh, I like the finish just fine. I also like many other fine things and have kinda over extended on the latest GAS binge.

 

[Disco Batman]

Almost forgot about true gold. Most gas I've ever had was for a true gold rosewood neck sterling 5HS. No money otherwise it would have been mine.

What is the diff in the Dargie I and II? To me, the pics look the same.

Also, can someone post a pic of the Blue Dawn?

 

[OldManMusic]

Blue Dawn...

 

[jlepre]

FYI here's my old thread. Pretty much the same stuff:

Dargie II is a shifting color, not just green.

 

[BassTractor]

Now, it depends on the bass, but to keep it simple:

- 2012 PDN Honey Burst (and I had promised myself to never own one of those fugly bursts ... )
- Tangerine Pearl with the light pg (white? light grey?)
- Candy Apple Red
- Blue Dawn
- Dargie Delight

Hope to incorporate Dargie Delight II in this list. Very curious indeed.


best,
