Im a sucker for gold hardware and white pickups
You and me both !! Add sparkles ,a matching headstock and I can hardly resist.
Certain colors and ebony are a deal breaker for me .
Agreed, I’m not a huge fan of darker woods for the neck. Ebony on my DB 100% but it doesn’t speak to me on electric.
If I had my choice, I would love a Tiffanys ( Yes the Jewelry )Blue Sparkle , matching headstock with pearl white pickguard, white pickup, gold hardware, with either rosewood or flamed maple .
The center position has grown on me a lot in the last few months. I just wish it wasn't lower output than the other positions. It's not a lot quieter but is noticeable.
Not a Stingray but I have a MM Cutlass with a green sparkle, a bit lighter than the previous ones shown. I think it would look good on a Ray as well:
I have the old Olive Gold color. It’s a dark green with gold sparkles. But it isn’t a Special.
Here's an old reverb listing (not mine) with some good pictures. Not super sparkly. Rather subtle...

And that’s mainly what I was referring to when I said I had decided to work with that position more. Including bumping input gain up a bit. I’m really liking that tone, though.
It’s funny I have to rework my whole perception of the switches since upgrading. On my Sterling both pickups was way too hot and so I always avoided position 3.
I do like that colour too. I had a matte olive green special for a brief time that I now regret selling. Fortunately, I did sell it locally and if the guy ever decides to sell it I'm hoping he gives me first crack as I have asked him about it since selling it.
but you have that gorgeous pink champagne bfr
Yup, not getting rid of that one. I guess being that it has the same pu configuration was one of the reasons I let the green one go. I still regret it though.
... and that BFR (at least I think it's a BFR?) fretless!
That neck .... whew!

It needs a white "33" sticker for Larry Bird. That's a Celtics bass! Love it!View attachment 5310002This is the color I’m Gaga over

I guess actually all 3 of those are BFRs. Funnily enough, at this point I have 7 EBMM basses. 4 of which are BFR, 2 are from the Vault and 1 is a 25th anniversary reflex, so a pretty unusual collection. And a USA sub bass I've been working on in my garage since last summer in an attempt to make a MM jazz bass.
