Got the seriously cool metal battery plate!

Even with the flash nuking the upper bout, you can tell how it's aged. Next step: brownish tort?

Yeah, I've got about 15+ years to get that aged. Now, in my state, the smoking laws prohibit anyone from smoking inside the venue... which means the aged white won't have nearly as much mojo! Someone actually suggested rubbing Kiwi shoe polish on it. :rolleyes:

My white SR5 which is now three years old and has started to drift to creame. This photos shows the difference between the finish and the pickguard. When the bass was new, the PG and the finish were identical in colour.

I have one of the original white sparkles, supposedly one of the last shot. I love that finish. It has a nice birds eye in the neck too. Nothing classier than white for a formal gig!

Oh, I remember that one. Did it have a black neck? That was a sharp looking bass. We need to post another pic of that one. Here's a link to that one: http://www.ernieball.com/forums/mus...w-hell-freezes-over-hell-south-louisiana.html

I would like a matching white headstock though. Although I would gladly take one just like that.

That Bongo gets me every time. I'm sure the market demand is small for a bass like that, but I'd buy one for sure! It almost reminds me of the F*nder P-bass specials from the 80's.... Like Duff plays... but this is soooo much better.

Yeah, well green basses don't sell either. :D
