Happily trending in my own peculiar direction.
My magic 8 ball says that depends on the reactions they received at NAMM.
That finish is spectacular.
Re: tuners- maybe he's responsible for the crash on that side of the kit.... or more cowbell.
Re: Tuners on that Z with the poppin’ finish :
Remeber that episode of “Star Trek : TNG” where were there were these things called Nitrium Parasites that ate the metal on the hulls of spaceships? They went after the tuning keys on that bass. This is literally the only logical explanation.

I‘m very surprised, but very happy for anyone who’s been requesting this! Didn’t expect this to be in such demand tbh.

A+ for the reference.
So I got an ABII 6 on order, with the curly walnut top and a trans black finish. I'm not convinced trans black is the best finish for walnut, however, now that I look at photos.
What trans colours would you go with on walnut? I'm not super picky, but I don't want another natural finish Dingwall (my ABZ looks spectacular in natural finish but I want something with a bit of wow!)

Can you post a few pictures of what you're getting and what other trans colours you're talking about?
They can do metallic finishes on ABIIs now, as seen during NAMM.
Never took Godzilla for a Steinberger guy. Huh.
I'd be tempted to change the top wood if you want a trans colour, walnut is dark and looks great natural.
I am of this same mindset. If I had a curly (nicely figured) walnut top, I would want to display it rather than obscure it.
I tend to agree, imho transparent color works best on bleached tops … might be a tall order for walnut 
Maybe do something bold with a color-infused maple contrast layer and/or a ceruse back?

Would this be a mullet bass, business up front and party in the back?
That's actually a great idea... I'll look into that! Natural top with some other colour on the rest... would look epic!
Black tuners and Xtender are on. I think she’s done! 
And the mighty duo together make quite a pair of contrasting metal machines
