Question Miss my Stingray 4 HH - spec me a new one...

[Movielife]

Just for fun, although I am seriously considering ordering very soon, what spec would you have for a new Stingray 4 HH?

I sold my last one to fund a Stingray 5 HH, which is beautiful.

But, the 4 HH was a great 'all rounder' to use in my indie bands, when I was primarily just enjoying the freedom of 4 strings and I didn't need the low B so much.

I've always been someone who used the right bass for the right band, but I guess that isn't really a concern as a 5 string will do as a 4 string does! But, I do like to keep my chops up on a 4 string as its my original 'home'.

I was considering a rosewood neck, but I think I'd like to keep the stock maple neck with a rosewood board, non-matching headstock, and something nice and classic or very modern looking...

So, possibly a 4 HH in natural with a black guard, or a 4 HH in Sky Blue with a white guard, or a 4 HH in Tangerine Pearl with a black guard. Simple but super effective and still looking awesome!

The other option is to get a Sterling 4 HH...same kind of colour scheme....hmmmm....

This is reasonably straightforward - I'd say pacific blue burst matching headstock, maple board and white pearl pickguard. Or go rosewood board if you like the zing a little less in yer face - oo a full rosewood neck would be nice

It'd look fairly much like this - but without the sparkles and with white pg

I had a StingRay 4 HH (Slow Special) MN in Sky Blue with a white guard and what should I say, I had to return it after a week or so and changed it for a Tobbaco Burst 4 HH. Of course it's only my personal taste, but Sky Blue looks so fresh and great on the wall of a guitar shop - but if you later have it in your hands for hours and hours playing the colour might start to annoy you. If I were you I would go for a natural with a tort or black pick guard.
