Trans Teal with a black pickguard is one of my favorite finish combinations.

I agree, and that's the finish on my 'Ray so I voted for it. Lately I've fallen quite hard for black cherryburst, honeyburst and pacific blueburst. But they're all good,really.

I voted BCB, but I love honeyburst as well, just as trans white, and the trans orange Sterling with the tort guard looks very nice too... EBMM knows how to make nice trans finishes imho! :)

I love the vintage burst because it is that late 60's look. Cherry burst has that feel too.

That green burst is funky baby!

Of what's currently offered, Tobacco Sunburst and Pacific Blueburst are my favs.

Well, until some folks came up with a bass that has martini glass inlays, this was going to be my next MM bass.

So I voted for trans gold. Trans orange is a very close runner up though. Maybe even a tie.

...until I tied it with honeyburst! I have a natural 'Ray, and I love BCB, but honeyburst makes me feel all tingly inside.

Can Natural really be classed as a Trans finish?

Don't think so.

But if it can then I change my vote and go for Natural :D

Prediction. Black Cherry will become next generation Sunburst and an industry standard

We grade bodies either "Trans" or "Opaque" here so that is why I lump Natural with Translucents and Bursts.
