Yes, another one of these threads...
Well, I'm excited for the upcoming Sterling SUB basses: Sterling by Music Man SUB Ray4 and Ray5
I plan on buying the one with the Honey Burst finish, just looking for some opinions on the aesthetics.
I've attached pictures. Lemme know what you like best via voting!
Thanks.
1. Black 
2. White 
3. None (couldn't Photoshop that easily, so here's the general idea  
4. Tort 
5. Pearl 
5. Mint. I did too much green, I know x_x 
6. Rainbow

It does go pretty well, but I think I'm a fan of having no guard. We'll see.

I'd go with rainbow or black. They just 'sit' well.

It's kinda G&L-esque.
2nd choice - white. (Did I just say that?) |
07-20-2012, 03:11 AM
| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2011 Location: Seattle, Wa | | | I say none. (;
My second choice is tort.

Anything but the tort, which looks like bloody vomit. |

Then depending on what the wood looks like under the pickguard, maybe go with none or get a clear guard.

FWIW, I've got black on mine. Tort was my other choice. I had pearl on it, but I'm just not a fan anymore.

It makes the instrument have a visual depth.
Don't care for any of the others too much. |
