G&L color Poll: Help me choose!

[Stranger Danger]

Red!!

 

[Juststanley]

I'm Gassing for the "Spanish Copper Metallic" so that's my vote!!!

 

[LUCE]

SB will always be classic, but years from now everyone will want the custom colors - especially if they discontinue one. For my LB it's HUGGER ORANGE. Go for the red!

I went to the G&L site, and didn't see much choice in finishes for that model, but I do like the tobacco burst better than red.
I'd like to see it without a pick guard; I think it would look so much better and show off the nice looking wood grain.

 

[Bassfreakz]

Enough said.

Ps: This brand new baby is for sale but I'm located overseas

When it came down to placing the order I ended up going with
Copper / Tort / Rosewood.

Back to my original choice. Of course I've 2nd guessed it 3 times since placing the order. :-O

I'd like to see a pic of that. Sounds very nice!

Respectfully, I couldn't disagree more! Personally, I can't stand the "Jaco Look" of a burst without a pickguard (preferably tort!). Actually IMO, I think all Jazz and P-style basses look better with a pickguard. It just seems to add the finishing touch, and they look like something is missing without one. (Yeah, I know - something IS missing. The pickguard!)

But that's why there are so many flavors of ice cream. We all have our unique preferences.

Of the two choices OP presented, that Ruby Red Metallic gets my vote. Very sharp, especially with the matching headstock.

If I wasy buying my own, I'd go with the Yellow Fever, though.

Between the two pictured basses, Red Metallic by a long shot. Burst with tort guards have been done to death, and tort looks like a someone puked allover your bass.

Yes, and there are sooooo many brands, models, and options to choose from nowadays ... not like back in the 70's when there weren't anywhere near as many.

Margarita Metallic!!! .. If not that, Yellow Fever takes a very close second choice for me.. Love the Green or Yellow/maple/black 'guard combo

---

Margarita Frost is my favorite G&L color. Be different!

Is this Hugger Orange with a tort guard? Looks awesome! I actually thought about this. Where did you get the guard? (they all come with black, right?)

I really like the vintage white, It would be better if the fingerboard are maple though.

I assume you've seen this already: LB-100 Bass Generator

Oh yes. I've spent hours on that. Problem is, the colors don't look like that in real life. Also, they don't have the Old School Tobacco Burst.

 

[Neon Blues]

Damn, Margarita Metallic all the way.

 

[FenderOli]

No matching headstock with Tobacco Burst.

I voted for the burst, but that red is nice as long as you ditch the white guard for a black one. Consider getting a black/red/black guard, I added one to a CAR SX jazz and it tranformed it.
