What color for my SR5?

[drgroovenstein]

So I have an SR5 on order in Carbon Blue w/ Abalone pickguard matching headstock and maple board. But my Bongo is the same color (well minus the maple, you know).

I'm thinking of switching it to white, white pearloid, matching headstock, maple board. Bummer I dont think you can get white pickup covers.

What color would you suggest? I like to stay away from red, I'm color vision impaired heheh

ps. Vain, maybe... hrm. lol

black/black/maple is one of the best , in my book.

I also tend to like trans orange/white pearloid/maple

 

[LisaIs]

Yea, black/black/maple is pretty hot.

 

[drgroovenstein]

I got an OLP that is black/black heh

Bummer I dont think you can get white pickup covers.

If it's the single pick up, you can.

If it's the dual PU, may I suggest: Trans orange, maple, python...

Limited Black

Shooooooot. Keep that CBP. I got an HH on order that's CBP/Abalone/rosewood/MH.

Great minds.

 

[drgroovenstein]

Yeah, but two basses the same color? Isn't that kind of sad? I don't plan on off loading the Bongo..

 

[Figjam]

I wouldnt have two basses the same color unless they were very similiar, like fretted/fretless of the same bass,or a matching sterling and stingray.... bongo and sr5 wouldnt do it for me.

Well I have almost that combo (without the pearloid) and its a killer....even without white pick up covers......I fell in love with it as soon as I opened the case....

How come it looks cream instead of white?

 

[drgroovenstein]

white it is, that is just rockzor.

My favorites would have to be:

Trans Orange, White Pearl pg, Maple 'board
Honeyburst, Tort pg, Rosewood 'board

I also prefer matching headstocks.

 

[Dr Stankface]

Trans red is always good.

Trans red is always good.

Andrew, you sometimes remind me of a subtler version of the Borg-always trying to assimilate unwitting forum members into your five-stringed, red, black moto collective.

On the other hand, the Daion is trans red, so I guess I've picked up something from you...even though that was before I frequented these forums...

*scrubs self and basses furiously*

 

[Figjam]

Yeah what are the two things andrew always mutters? "trans red" and "GK!"
