Best Color Combination P Bass

[Lujon]

I can only keep one of these, so I'm trying to decide which combination of body and neck to keep. I like them all, so I need help. Pretending for a moment that all other factors are equal, which color combination do you prefer?

White/Rosewood, swap out the pickguard and knobs:

I thought, for sure, I was going to like blue/maple the best, but blue/rosewood looks really sharp. That's my vote.

All maple headstocks, I presume?

Maple headstock with rosewood board is one of my pet peeves, although admittedly I own one. I much prefer matching headstocks to bodies, so if any of these had a matching headstock it would get my vote.

Failing that, it's hard to go wrong with blue and rosewood. Oh heck, they're all nice.

If it could only be so easy, a matching headstock would be my first choice for any of these!

This is the correct answer.

It will be... after all... Y O U R decision, but if I can help with expressing my personal preference, why not?

Go for the white body and pickguard with the maple neck (and headstock), ditch the stratocaster knobs and you are doing the right thing.

I'd go with the one that sounds the best or plays the best.

 

[jd56hawk]

White and maple.

 

[Holdsg]

I voted Blue/Maple but changed my vote to White/Rosewood after seeing this.

White rosewood and add tort

 

[JRA]

they're all nice.

all other factors are equal, which color combination do you prefer?

flip a coin --- they both look great! good luck choosing!

I like them all, but lose the knobs on the white one (yuck).

I find myself rooting for one of the answers even though it’s not the most popular, so I might have found my answer . . . Still interested to see opinions so thanks everyone who’s voted.

Shoreline Gold

Blue maple hands down.

For me a Seafoam green and a anodised gold pickguard, one of my favourite combos with that tinted neck.
