White with matching headstock which is an added cost option. Comes with three pickguards, Black, Black Pearl and Serape Stripes.
Bass is in excellent condition, I can't find any dings, dents or scratches.
Just got this in on a trade hoping that it would work for me. Alas I have yet more evidence that I am simply not an EBMM kinda guy. Too bad because this is a really nice bass, excellent production quality, good tonal palette and it is very attractive.

Modulus Quantum 5 or 6 or Genesis 5 would be high on my trade list.
