Alright boys and girls, help a brother out.
Got this DJ5 last week. Then today I get a big old envelope from our guy Terry ( no good scents coming off this one) with two sweet pickguards.
Help me choose.....
I REALLY didn't think this one would work....but it totally does.
Plus the wife likes it (always a good thing), (shes still mad I sold my 55-02 Cherry Sunburst Deluxe....It was "pretty"..She was right....it was)
#1
This one is more subtle.
#2
Discuss........
the second one. Or, I'd say, even a lighter color one. The color of the fretboard asks for it
Congrats!!!

Tell you what.....I'll send the DJ5 your way....I'll need a 5er till you send it back....just send your BG5 in the meantime.
Thanks Randy look forward to abusing Bobbo5 If you were about 12 hours slower on contacting Leo that would have been mine...I'm not bitter

John, I like #2 better for the contrast (more white in the PG). Both look good, though.Alright boys and girls, help a brother out.

That's a good point, Denis, I agree.Greg, would you say it is not only the contrast, but also matching to the pearl of the blocks and balance with the fretboard?
Or, do I sound too much Markus?
And your spelling is too good for you to sound like Markus.
I'm glad to see Doug's old PG's getting some use. They were on his DJ5, then Jesse put Chi's in it and traded it to me. I couldn't use the PGs with the Chi's, so I traded them to Terry who got them to you.
Small world...

I'm really torn.
Good thing is its so easy to switch them.
While I hear you about the contrast with the blocks....I really like the brighter one too.

Thats exactly right. I'm taking it to Lakland Thursday for a set-up. I chaged strings this weekend. Just does'nt seem right.

More contrast looks better to me. I think I like pearl the most on that bass. The first is too flat, and saturated.

noooooooooo
you're totally wrong
you can't be so wrong, John!
it's totally inadmissible!
tsk tsk tsk
it's matching the blocks and contrasting with the fretboard
