How hard can it be!

[Highfox]

I'm looking to get myself a Fender 50's P-bass's to go with my USA Jazz, but having a lot of trouble deciding what colour to go for! I've always wanted a Maple and black bass, but the more I look at the other colours available, Fiesta red and the honey blonde I'm not sure anymore (My Jazz is in a sunburst so I'm not looking at getting it in that colour, something for a change)

How hard can it be? I'm really finding it difficult to decide.

and a question has anyone had the chance to compare the new American Specials against the Classic I'm thinking of getting?

the honey blonde is B.A.

I would either go black or fiesta red.

I think the 50's P is cooler. It definitely has a thicker neck on it than the Special, considering a thinner neck is one of the Special's main selling points. I liked the sound of the 50's P, but never got to compare it side-by-side with the Special, because my local shop sold the Special they had before i could get in to try it.

As far as color goes, I would go fiesta red and leave the gold 'guard on, or black and put a b/w/b 'guard on it, Roger Waters style.

I'm partial to the Honey Blonde, although I like the Black and the Fiesta Red as well. Here's mine:
