StingRay 4 white dual humbucker/maple (boring white PG)
StingRay 4 sapphire black dual humbucker/rosewood (moonstone PG)
StingRay 4 envy green single 2 band (abalone)

I love the Envy Green and the maple board, but the two band is weirding me out (plus the price is a premium for the finish).
I'm not in love with the white, but it has maple.
Like the sapphire black, but not stoked about the rosewood. However, I did play this bass in person, and it does rock.

Help a brotha out! Ahhh, actually I just want some commiseration.

Dispense with the pain by buying them all. Then you'll just have some unwanted debt. You're going to have that anyway so why not for something you love?

It's got to be one. I need a four for teaching. I'm opening the Baltimore and DC branches of the Paul Green School of Rock Music, and most of those young whipper-snappers will be using four strings. Plus, as much as a LOOOOVE the tone of my SR5, the narrow string spacing kind of kills me, although I'll never sell my precious.

God Lord why don't they have white pickup covers for the dual pickup basses. I'd drop another order today if I could get an all white SR5 with white covers.

I'm going to check whether the pickup covers are white. If so, I'll probably go with that, but I am still torn. I wish I could buy all three, but I sure wouldn't play them. ;-) Maybe I'll buy two, and give one to my daughter when she grows out of the Squier Bronco she inherited from her brother, who has switched to drums. The sparkle pink would come in handy for that ;-)

They wont be. Dual humbuckers only come in black. Sorry. :(
 
Graphite Pearl and Sapphire Black and Moonstone is something every young man should own in an EB bass. Especially the SR5.

Don't ask me how I know.
