If you MUST get a bass that looks like piece of an antique phonograph from the 70's...
then get the black one. It's the lesser of 3 evils, IMO.

Why not ask Sam Ash to price match the one you 've been digging and avoid having to take a chance on an unseen umplayed one being shipped?
I already have it. Funny story, the salesmen tried to charge me for the case. He said "WC" on the tag meant worn cherry, even though 1) mine is worn brown, 2) this bass is supposed to come with a case, and 3) WC means with case. It made me chuckle.
Nice bass and great choice. Yes the tonal variety is a bit limited due to it being short scale, but you should be able to get a wide variety of tones using the pickup selection, tone controls, playing with a pick or fingers and your amp settings. Also these basses work great using effects, like fuzz or overdrive.
Enjoy the exploration.

I have the worn cherry. No neck dive, light, easy to play. Pick-up's sound about like my thunderbird.

For someone that lists disco as one of their favorite genres, I'd think you'd like something that looks like a 70's phonograph, even though it doesn't.
For what it's worth the sg shape has a bad ass look that has aged more gracefully than any of the Fender basses. imo.
Nice bass! Them Dennis Dunaway influences start creepin' in as them classic AC records spin on the turntable.
Yes, I like disco music but it doesn't necessarily follow that I love all things 70's.
Not a fan of the SG look. The sounds isn't bad...I just don't like the look.
I've ordered two basses from Sweetwater. What a great place, I'm not sure I would buy a new bass from anywhere else. The customer service is second to none. They actually set up the basses too.
"" but a Fender clone they are not...""
and thank goodness for that!!! a great choice for a new bass and a +1 for purchasing what you wanted.

My labella flats are coming tomorrow. The cheap and lifeless steel rounds it came with aren't doing it for me.
