Tell me which you think looks best--I had all 4 colors on hand and can switch them whenever I like.

| | | | For surf green? White, or some other version of white like parchment, pearloid, or mint. |

That blue is delicate and deserves to be the focus of attention,...the red or brown overpowers it.
Black is neutral (and even matches other elements) so it is ok too.
(trust me - I have a B.F.A.  )

Super light--nearly 3 lbs lighter than the body it replaced. The machining wasn't perfect, but with some TLC it worked great and makes a great gigging bass.

With the added comment of "and pearl blocks"
To the OP: My answer is E: None of the above. Cream or parchment pearloid on that bass would look killer (that means good!).
