White all the way. The only red that I'd consider is Fiesta.

I voted white but a transparent red-wine finish would be pretty sweet, too.

I voted white because I picked white for YOU.

The question was worded which one would I pick if I had the choice of those two. I wouldn't pick either of those colors...but I want YOU to have white.
Mostly cuz I don't want you to have a bass that looks the same as mine!

My favorite is red and I hate white, so that's my 2 centavos.
Make that white an antique/ ivory white, I'd have to flip a coin

Out of your two options I would choose.

I voted white, oly white with a lined white scratchplate and rosewood board is rather complimentary looking bass.

I never felt red and tort go well - too much clashing going on.

However, if I was allowed to add sonic blue ...

Davo

Voted white since you don't like Fiesta Red.....

Here's my 2 cents for Oly White:

Rosewood board = Tort guard

Maple board = Gold Anno guard

Good luck!
