The white pearl is a better 'fit' with your green beauty, @seedokebass . 
The baltic amber looks better on a white, gold, or natural finish, IMO.

I much prefer the white but I dig the Baltic amber on green look too. Kind of like the cousin of tort on Lake Placid blue.
My personal favorite (Baltic Amber & Bronze Age):
my vote goes to the Baltic amber on both!!! Beauties
Going to practice once a week this is how my strap travels.
no strap locks. If I was gigging regular like some of you lucky folks it may be different.

I'm with the group of guys who doesn't want a sweat filled strap to sit next to my bass and fretboard transferring moisture until the next time I play. I actually take my strap out of the accessories bag and drape it over something in the garage to dry out.
Dunlop straplocks on every bass I own, I had Schaller fail on me and never gave them another chance.
Dunlops WILL fail on you, if you have a really thick strap the locking nut will occasionally get strained and come off while you're playing. You won't know it until you take the strap off and everything else on the strap side of the lock hits the floor.

ABNate, I think all of use agree when I say, we need an extensive photo shoot of this Z3 in natural light. Please.
I also thought this was only done for the highest end models.Huh. I knew that Dingwall used the 'dual density' approach on Z's, Sklars, and Prima's, but I did not know that they use this approach on other models until I watched a video about swamp ash that Sheldon posted to FB yesterday. Very cool. Explains why my maple/maple/ash Super P resonates so nicely.
I wonder if this has always been the case or if dual-density for all Canadian models is a newer decision.
I'm late to the party but that looks awesome! I might have to throw a set of those on my DBird as well. Maybe some pearl ones for my Combustion too.
The inlay stickers have been so popular I think I saw somewhere that the Man himself has considered using blocks on the next generation of imports.
He’s reportedly thinking about it, on some level. I’m sure that would be popular, although the easiest path is white or black blocks, depending on the fretboard wood, and I don’t think that’s something that would appeal too much to me. And I don’t expect colored blocks to match the finish, not on the imports.
No. I think Sheldon was saying they are considering adding actual block inlays to the imports
I don't know, but am also curious. Sheldon's mental gears are always spinning, and he probably doesn't have time to share every change in his processes. In this particular video, he is specifically discussing how ash is lower in density near the bottom of the tree and higher density further up the tree. No mention was made of alder, so the dual density approach may not apply to alder-bodied Afterburners and Supers.

As others stated, not stickers but actually offering inlays. Maybe a Deluxe with block inlays and the standard as is
