PG for black bongo?

[patobrujo]

You're welcome Zippydog, congrats on your choices of PG, i put my order for the gold swirl too, and i suspect is not the last (that python and black perloid keep calling me )

I suspect it'll be a tough call and I may be switching b/t the two once in a while.

This got me thinking, there's no problem in switching the PG too often? i have never remove mine so, don't know how the screws get into the wood.. if someone can make a quick answer... just not to start a new tread on the subject

OK, here's what I've got. (NOTE: plastic film is still on the new PGs and no strings on the bass when photos taken)

Gold Swirl:

Black Perloid:

Original Black PG:

I'm thinkin' Gold Swirl...your thoughts??

I'm loving the gold swirl. May have to get one of those to fight it out with my abalone PG.

Funny thing, the Gold Swirl isn't really much like the chip/sample on the Musicman site. The chip sample has orange in it and isn't as "gold" or have as much black as the real thing seems to. Maybe there's just some "normal" variance, but they're pretty different. That said, I prefer the look of the actaul PG to the sample on the Musicman site.

I've attached the sample from the Musicman site below so you can see the difference...it ain't subtle.
