Very, very tempting. I ordered a Reflex 5 HH in 2010 as soon as ordering started, and am really interested in a 4 banger HSS Reflex in this finish. Petty detail - What colour will the binding be on the Reflex model?

Very tempted to make this my first MM. Does one think one could get away with white guard/pups with this color?

In this case, Sterling HH

You can only get white pu covers on the classic series... and i guess black looks better with this. I ordered a black pg.

That's not entirely true. White pickup covers are also available on a single humbucker StingRay 5 when you order it with a white or white pearloid pickguard. That said, white pickup covers have never been available for a dual pickup Music Man bass.

Ah, i see. Thanks. Do we think (or will it be offered) a matched headstock would look good on maple vs the mahogany? Only with rosewood of course. :)

I am ordering a Big Al 5 tomorrow with a maple neck, but was wondering if you can order anything different than a black pickguard for this order? Anyone know. Also any ideas as to what you think will look good with this color.

I think black or white or pearl looks good. You can choose all the normal pg colours. I personally prefer black on this

I dont think ebmm offers that option... this is what the wabsite states as possible options for big all.
the standards are included in the price. Optional will be charged extra.

Standard - Black or White; Optional - Shell, White Pearloid, Vintage White Pearloid, or Black Pearloid.

Indeed. Clear would be aftermarket.

clear would not look good for a Big Al due to the routing/electronics package visible under the pickguard.

Got mine on order! Cannot wait, hope the 5 string tracks like my 30th does. No reason to think it would not though. Thanks for the cool build guys!
