Still waiting for a reply on the Matte Pink finish question (understandably busy with NAMM). If solids are not available, I think I am going with Aquamarine Metalflake. That finish looked stunning on the show floor.

Good for you man! That’s exciting. Tough call.
I do love maple fretboards and there is also a reason they are on the Nollys.... the snap!
Go with your gut. PF will be very nice and so will maple. Heck, you know what your looking at. And both will look amazing. Go for the sound you want.
Congratulations on your decision to go 6. I really like the looks and tone of PF. I have an AB II with a PF fretboard and love it. But you can't go wrong with either.
So i got the package from Bassdirect (2 days to germany) and damn the Knobs feel and look great!
Don't know yet if i keep them on this way (all pots on middle in the picture / volume full) or turn them around like on all the Dingwallpictures.

Wait, does this mean there are Carbon fibre 3x NG pickguards now? I want one!

*Print. Funny enough i kinda want a matte black one. Or i go full sparkle and order a custom purple one like this

I would be thrilled to swap my matt black one for a carbon one, that i miss from pre-upgrade NG2, but I can't imagine that woudl be practical.
Possibly. Though on the official FB page, they told me to contact sales department.
Still hoping.

i dig the streamer CV, so i think this also looks good on a corvette and i also dig this colorcombo. Still thinking about if it would be a match on my purple NG3

Watch out where the huskies go...
That's cool Nate. I'm a bit of a mod freak. I was always modding my Spectors. It's a testimony to my Z3 that I haven't done anything to it.
That updated shot of the Vintage Burst D-bird Standard has got me jonesing for mine to come in. (Patience Grasshopper)

The vintageburst looks lovely, but I'm still going with the blue/purple for the novelty of it all. Maybe I'll get a custom 5 one day.
blue/purple here too! I've seen updated photos and video from NAMM with the other 3 colors, but no new shots of the blue/purple.... hmmm

I have not heard that a solid pink is going to be available. The only one I am aware of is the Pink Swirl.

Thank you all for the replies about Pau Ferro versus Maple for my 6-string!
I do like Maple - a lot. And I personally think the bass may look better with Maple. I am considering the Pau Ferro, though, as I think it may be a tad warmer sounding. It may not make much difference, all things considered.
I am upgrading my amp this year for added dynamics so I thought the 6-string with new amp would give me impetus to actually start practicing again as I see so much potential there. I "noodle" all the time, and will learn songs if I want to play out, but I haven't actually practiced in years - rehearsals with a band are not practice. Most of what I am into is my own original music.

That updated pic is amazing. I am excited about these D-Bird Standard basses and it will be neat to see the production.
@bebass
I can relate to the remark about practicing. We are moving to a new house this weekend and I won’t have a big music space for a month or two. I think I am going to pull out the string bass and one synthesizer. That way I can focus on 30 minutes of practice on each before jamming for a couple of nights a week.
I can tell my bass skills are slipping a bit.

But of course that doesn't mean that one couldn't be announced (or that I missed an announcement) at any point in time. I do believe Sheldon has the option of any color at all.
