By the way, as you can see from the variation between photos, this finish doesn't photograph consistently. I've found that to be generally true of MM finishes.
Other shots of Tangerine Pearl that I've seen seem to emphasize the pearl aspect and look washed out. Not so… it's REALLY intense orange, which makes me very happy.
On my screen, the shot without the pickguard is probably the closest to the way it actually looks, except that in real life it's more intense.
Very nice bass! There are currently 2 more Music Man basses I would like to get right now. Another Classic that is Black and Tan and a Big Al SSS. I am really torn too on which route to go. I really want a Big Al but love the Black and TAN SR's.
