Members james on bass Posted April 23, 2006 Members Share Posted April 23, 2006 I promise that I will listen to and purchase whatever this poll (you, my bass playing brethren) tells me to get. My wife and kids also get to vote. I will order my SX 5 sometime this week. My choices are sunburst or black, either will receive a tort pick guard among the usual mods. * I have also posted a poll at Guitars Canada forum, but they are mostly g**tarists over there, so I only count half the votes * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thunderbroom Posted April 23, 2006 Members Share Posted April 23, 2006 Didn't you already order an SX? Did you get it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darkstorm Posted April 23, 2006 Members Share Posted April 23, 2006 For that color style pickgaurd thinks sunburst body finish looks best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Onkel Bob Posted April 23, 2006 Members Share Posted April 23, 2006 I voted sunburst. But did you see the mint green pick guard on black body picture I had a friend of mine make for you? I thought that looked pretty good. Even though its a guitar it gives you a pretty good idea what a bass would look like. Edit: This one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members james on bass Posted April 23, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 23, 2006 Originally posted by Thunderbroom Didn't you already order an SX? Did you get it yet? I ordered 2 a couple weeks ago but Rondo lost the order, or forgot to ship or something before they closed for the move. Kurt refunded my money right away when he found out. I spent some money instead on a new amp, so I'm just gonna order 1 SX for now. If you see my "Thump" thread, you'l see what my next GAS purchase may well be.

Members bholder Posted April 23, 2006 Members Share Posted April 23, 2006 They both look hot. The sunburst/tort has the more traditional look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hammer744 Posted April 23, 2006 Members Share Posted April 23, 2006 Of these 2 choices, the Burst with the Tort is the best - I don't think you can ever go wrong with that. I saw one somewhere that was Black with a Blue pearloid that looked really sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members oldivor Posted April 23, 2006 Members Share Posted April 23, 2006 I have a black Fender p-bass with a rosewood board and a white pickguard. The pickguard is aging and it looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bigby Posted April 23, 2006 Members Share Posted April 23, 2006 I like the classic sunburst color with the tort... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thumper Posted April 23, 2006 Members Share Posted April 23, 2006 I'm in the minority. I vote black, as it looks a bit more disctinctive. Either would be good choice. I had a sunburst mid-'60s Jazz as my second bass. I paid $275 for it in 1978, then traded it off for a Ric 4003. I wish I still had the Jazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AntiStuff Posted April 23, 2006 Members Share Posted April 23, 2006 Black. I think in a couple months I'm gonna order the same bass and pimp it out. What kinda mods are you thinking about? I was thinking about a tort pick gaurd with a hipshot bridge and a Bill Lawrence P-style in at the neck position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gaui Posted April 23, 2006 Members Share Posted April 23, 2006 Hmm, both look good, but I think I would go for the sunburst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members L-1329 Posted April 23, 2006 Members Share Posted April 23, 2006 Originally posted by bassgeek Everyone knows black basses sound better! While this is absolutely correct, there is something about a black bass with a tort p/g that just doesn't work. And any real black bass is going to have a black headstock face at the least, and a black neck too if it is really going to rawk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Emprov Posted April 23, 2006 Members Share Posted April 23, 2006 Originally posted by james on bass Thanks for posting that pic. My wife just saw it over my shoulder and said, "Hey, that looks like our house...and your bass....Aaaaaagh, you're evil!". I have a black J w/black pearloid, (it's apart right now though 'cause I'm doing some tinkering), and the 'burst. On the black one, I've tried white, white pearl, black pearl and tort. Out of all of those configs on the black one, and my 'burst, I'll take the 'burst. That's just me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
