Cant choose between the two colors

I like the natural.... white is always cool, but I look a little more yellowed off-white.

 

If I played a lot of punk rock or derivative styles, the first one. I always thought butterscotch and amber were very country/bluegrass. Bursts and black are versatile, but black is boring. No matter what, tort is king.

 

+1 and a tort guard too on white really makes it for me. The blond/black/maple combo is classic and looks great as is!

 

I'd choose the maple one because of the looks and because the body is also made of maple, while the white body is made of Agathis.

 

The natural one

 

Is the body wood on thr natural one also made of agathis? I have a frankenbass with a white VM body in which the string tension pulled up the bridge screws. It didnt hold pick guard screws very well either. It is pretty soft stuff. It was an easy fix.with some hardwood dowles and wood glue however, and it is super light. I can play that bass for hours with no fatigue.

 

White one, for sure.

 

Usually I would go with white, bot for some reason the blonde is appealing today.

 

Unless this color is off, that looks for all the world like the atrocious "Schoolbus Yellow" that stopped so many MIJ '51RI buys dead in their tracks, including mine.

Natural's always good, but whatever this is is neither natural nor is it aged blonde.

 

The white looks great

 

The white looks good but I have played the amber one and I have to say it was stellar, especially in its price range. The amber color in that picture is fairly accurate. The maple board and soft maple (pretty sure it is) gives a great treble that I thought worked well.

 

Given a choice, I'd pick the one that either played or sounded better to me no matter what color it was.

 

Having seen the natural one in the "flesh", I'd go with the white.

And I'd stick a tort pickguard on it

 

Myself I wouldnt pick either. Not a fan of white or yellow. But if had to pick between the two would choose the yellow one.

 

I like the white much better. But I'd rather get both just so I could put the maple board neck on the white body.

 

Here is where my OCD comes up. I dislike natural bodies with maple boards when the tints/aging don't match. It makes it look artificial to my eye. If that version had a tinted maple neck and fretboard it would be class.

 

White with tort, but only if it's RED tort, not brown.

If nothing else, the Illuminati will approve.

I can see why. They're both sweet looking.

 

While both are nice basses, I'll take natural and maple over white and agathis any day.
