neaaaaaaaat. yah, like i said, i don't know enough about the build components of basses to really have an opinion. IG'NANT. I AM. but aesthetically i've always liked a darker stain with the wood grain visible and a dark fretboard and head and hardware. gold hardware freaks me out, i don't think i've seen a lot of basses where i like the lighter fretboard.

i kind of want a dark red natural looking stain body. sort of how bubinga or those Warwick's end up looking. that's always been hawt to me.

lol. except the remind me of Peanut from 311. noooooooooootttttttttt my favorite band.

i like the flash of lighter wood inbetween the top and the body, but, again no offense, that looks ugly and weird to me. i just never clicked with the more expensive tops and all.

"i like simple pleasures, like butter in my ass, lollipops in my mouth. that's just me."

........ apparently i've been misquoting that for years. but my way is SO much better.

I'm with ya.... dark all the way. I hate maple fretboards.

I think you could do some damage with one of these....

Pistachio. Fucking PISTACHIO FINGERBOARD.

That's about as light as I would go on a fingerboard, but having a matching headstock makes a HUGE difference. Caps it off SO NICELY.

eek. tops are WEIRD. they um. they don't speak to me.

AND I AM WAY TOO ENAMORED OF MY FANNED FRET MAGIC STRING LENGTHS.

grrrrrrrr. it's SO hard not to take all this money i have set aside for Eyeball Repair Surgery and just..... you know. pay off a Dinger order RIGHT. FUCKING. NOW.

ah. the FINGERBOARDS. yesh. those are nice. but the body tops. blegh.

i think....... to me the light board with a dark body, the contrast always makes it look like a bad photoshop? or accidental assembly of wrong parts?

You know Sheldon can do a reddish finish if that's what you want, don't you?

But what's your Dingy now? It has that awesome blue/green finish and the wood grain showing? It's one piece right?

Even still... it LOOKS fancy as hell and I love the finish. If it was a solid color, I wouldn't like it nearly as much.

I think deep down, you have that fancy top fetish just waiting to be unleashed

lol. shuddup. it's a blue to green BURRRRRRST. still counts as a single color. :P

Eqers - yah. i was talking to Gary (?) when i was trying to order one last time. he kept giving me kind of conflicting answers. he's send me a price list that had an option for custom color, then say there were no transparent finishes, then send me a pic of that black transparent...... i'm going to wait until i have a g or so set aside so i can order as soon as we're done talking then just call them up. email was odd and non..... conclusive.

they're the nicest guys over there though.

^^^ NICE^^^

The guy from Dingwall is named Barry, that is all.

All those Dingers are ugly.

I CUT YOU. WITH MY MISNAMED BARRY GUY.

what.... what makes them ugly?

*hurt puppy dog about to cry look*

Yeah, he can be a bit vague sometimes when emailing. I know for a fact they have done this ABZ though

urk. that, a shade or two darker? yesh. that would be prettttttty.

DAMN ALL THESE CHOICES.
