Sterling - a little too pretty

[Moondog]

I thought this was a post about Big Poppa Carry on.

I'm sure he'll be blushing when he reads it.

I alternate between Black & White on my Honeyburst/rosewood.
I also have white pearloid but that doesn't looks as good on HB IMO.
(white pearloid does look good on my burnt apple tho)
I think I like plain white best (see Morrows avatar)

philthygeezer - My honeyburst was the prettiest until I saw yours. Pretty obvious that your a photographer. What kind of lighting did you use? Anyway, you certainly made your case for a black pickguard on a honeyburst/rosewood SR.

cgworkman - Sent you an E-mail but not sure you got it. Would like to know where you got your black and tort pickguards. I know EB has black but can't find tort as an option. I see shell if that's what EB's tort is (tortishell?) but it seems to have red highlights. Yours seems to be more brownish and a little more subdued which gells well with my laidback personality.

Good luck

Yeah, thanks cgworkman. Got your E-mail after I had already posted. I didn't realize that EB had that "build your own instrument" program. Apparently the sample tort or shell as they call it just looks more red than it does on the actual bass. It could be because the sample is a close up, not sure.

The tort guard on my SR5 came from Ernie Ball's customer service department.

Honeyburst and black is nice.

Definately the black, simple and elegant.

I agree!
