[RyanJD]

Yes, another one of these threads...

Well, I'm excited for the upcoming Sterling SUB basses:
http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/sterling-music-man-sub-ray4-ray5-871370/

I plan on buying the one with the Honey Burst finish, just looking for some opinions on the aesthetics.

I've attached pictures. Lemme know what you like best via voting!
Thanks.

1. Black

2. White

3. None (couldn't Photoshop that easily, so here's the general idea

4. Tort

5. Pearl

5. Mint. I did too much green, I know x_x

6. Rainbow

Not a huge tort fan, but hey..it looks nice for once.

I think it does look good on this finish because the edges of the bass are basically the same red that you can see in the tort material.
It does go pretty well, but I think I'm a fan of having no guard. We'll see.

What is the difference between mint and white?

What is the difference between mint and white?

Mint is 'fresher'

I'd go with rainbow or black. They just 'sit' well.

Cream...

I usually try to stay away from recommending Tort (even though I love it, but it's overused) and I try to vote/suggest white pearl... but this time, this bass needs a Tort guard. Everything else is just blah...

 

[pusangtaba2011]

for me its between pearl or black

 

[itchy]

I actually like the none/clear.
It's kinda G&L-esque.

2nd choice - white. (Did I just say that?)

 

[keyofnight]

I say none. (;

My second choice is tort.

 

[jbossolo]

Black FTW.
Black pearl second choice.

 

[Korladis]

None, with white the second choice.

Anything but the tort, which looks like bloody vomit.

 

[mongo2]

Tort.

Then depending on what the wood looks like under the pickguard, maybe go with none or get a clear guard.

 

[kbakerde]

I vote white guard, I would say mint is second, and yes it is way too green.

 

[RedNeckBBQ]

black is nice and vintage looking.

 

[Dave W]

Black or tort...

FWIW, I've got black on mine. Tort was my other choice. I had pearl on it, but I'm just not a fan anymore.

 

[DWBass]

Pearl!

I just wanna smack the folks that invented tort! Why?? Ugh! Just horrid!

 

[bobbybass85]

I voted tort, but I'd vote for "Anything but Mint or Rainbow"

 

[SolarMan]

Black.

It makes the instrument have a visual depth.

Don't care for any of the others too much.

I see what you did there
