Question What colors were SUB 5's offered in?

[zuma]

Here's an easy one for you knuckleheads. I Google searched using "sub 5" site:Ernie Ball.com and I did a Google image search for SUB's.

I have seen grey, blue and maroon sparkle. Did they come in black as well?

I love the idea of a 5 string with the 2-band EQ but, having as many basses as I do, I think I can afford to be picky about the color I want - grey or black.

Thanks guys and gals

Black and white, too.

They have a textured finish: Black, White, Teal, Red, Blue, Graphite, Cinnamon (no sparkles).

Might as well make this official so let's figure it out. Ok, so far this is what I have:

Black - easy enough to figure out

White - ditto

Teal - see next post

Cinnamon - see below

Blue:

Gunmetal:

This one is listed on eBay as Maroon Sparkle - WRONG, it's actually
Cinnamon: - WRONG, it's actually
Red:

That ain't maroon sparkle. That's cinnamon.

Here's my four banger in teal:

Thanks Jack. The teal looks much better than I thought it would.

I take it the list is complete then. The SUB's were offered in 6 colors (?)

I think I'll be on the lookout for a black or gunmetal 5'er.

Thanks for that. Looks like I merged Red and Cinnamon even though you had already posted it before.

So they came in seven, not six colors.

Red and cinnamon were two different colours? In that case i've never actually seen a red one...

Mine was the 5 string graphite one with matte black pickguard.... I miss her so I keep her listed on my signature out of respect

If I find her I won't tell you so as to not hurt your feelings.

Looks like we all learned something here. Time to edit my post again.

Sam,yours is a red one. the one above is a red one too.

cinammon:

Ah right, in that case i think i'd never seen a cinnamon one before then! If you take the picture right though, red can look like that too... it's a weird colour

I get to post this pic for the second time in as many days! White, baby! (It's a passive one, too!)

Several years back I played a White Sub5 that was an amazing bass. I still kick myself for not buying it. I wasn't big on the textured paint but the white with black pickguard and neck looked sweet.

 

[zuma]

Looks like we have all the colors now. Good show!

 

[philthygeezer]

Black too (white outline was me).

 

[Slingy]

Mine is black.
