Oh I 'm seeing some very beautiful basses 
Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 4 HH Bass Guitar - Grape Crush with Rosewood Fingerboard
Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 4 HH Bass Guitar - Brulee with Ebony Fingerboard
Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 4 HH Bass Guitar - Purple Sunset with Maple Fingerboard
That Brulee is looking nicer and nicer each time I see it. It might actually look nicer in person than the Grape Crush and that's weird coming from me. I'm all about the purple, but dayum that Brulee

That’s a fair point. Releasing them all at once was slightly off.
I just think they’re pretty. But if you need rebellion I think black will do you just fine. Maybe jackpot if you’re feeling festive.
Now for something completely different and less exciting
Today I put Slinky Cobalt Flats [per their instructions] on my Special; cleaned with EB String wipes first not sticky no breaks, and no Black stuff on fingers or goop spots on Bass after playing; like back in 2019 on another Bass I tried them on very briefly but sounded great then and now;
Neck hasn't moved yet; a little stiffer than Super Slinky's but not that much
Have to get used to smooth feel and basically no string noise after 45+ years of rounds

Cobalt flats are great strings.
I recently switched to Dunlop super bright stainless steel on my Special and they are my favorite strings on it yet! If you like a more aggressive sound that is

Damn you are quick!
I pre ordered as soon as the colors were announced at NAAM. They had them last week. just couldn't ship out or post them until release date . That's how I knew it was 2/22
I thought I hated the Pastels as well until I saw the Laguna Green it was outstanding in person.
Of the New Batch Brulee in 5HH gets my #1 vote. But after that Purple Sunset, Grape, Gold, ocean would work. The price has gone up $200.00 USD since 2022 when I bought my 5H. Question are there open cavities under the 5 HH pickguards? if I get something like Purple Sunset I'd love to put a clear pickguard on it to show that great paint job.

There's no rear route so there is open space for preamp under the guard
I keep debating if I want to put Cobalt Flats on My PJ IV?Now for something completely different and less exciting

Count me JELLY Congrats ENJOY!!!My purple sunset is on the way. Should be here Sunday .
If you want a clear pickguard, the only option would be a 4HH if you don't want to have the routing show. Unless they end up offering the 5 strings with rear routing as a custom option this spring.
Yeah My Brunt Ends 4HH has a clear Pickguard on it. Maybe a custom 4HH SLO in Purple Sunset now that would be killer.
I'm drooling over both of those. I can't wait to see your pictures!My purple sunset is on the way. Should be here Sunday .
... and, unfortunattely, I'll have to live vicariously through yours and everyone else's purchacses. I wanted to buy a new car about two years ago and have been putting it off because of the low supply since the pandemic started. Now that inventories are starting to grow and a couple new models became availalbe, I might finally be buying soon. That'll put my toy buying on hold until I pay it off.

You'll probably need some space in the rack, I'll take that Amethyst Sparkle 5H off your hands.
