I have something lefty that I'll post more on in the Fall ... to meet the date, I need to select a color by the end of this coming week.

NOTE: Pickguard colors are for reference only - the final pickguard color will be chosen a couple weeks from now

Here's the options:

- Vintage white body, Maple/Rosewood neck, matching headstock with vintage tinted neck, Tort pickguard
- Black body, Maple/Maple neck, vintage tinted satin neck finish, white pearloid pickguard
- Seafoam Green body, Maple/Rosewood neck, matching headstock with vintage tinted neck, Tort pickguard
- Coral body, Maple/Rosewood neck, matching headstock with vintage tinted neck, white pearloid pickguard
- Shell Pink body, Maple/Maple neck, matching headstock with vintage tinted neck, white pearloid pickguard


if I did the poll correctly, you can each cast up to two votes

that's all I'm sharing for now. the choice with the highest vote count will be selected for this, so your vote has significant impact on my decision

thanks for helping out!

Tough choice! I like seafoam green, but was initially going for the vintage white and the black, until I got to the part where it says 'white pearloid pickguard': I can't stand those! So I voted vintage white and seafoam green.

ha! good point ... the pickguard color is not something I need to solidify at this time. since I make these myself, I still have a few weeks to reach the final color for that

the body color choice does need to be known now since I send my bodies and neck out to be finished by a shop that is dedicated only to finishing guitars and basses


I also set the poll so you can make changes to your vote after you first cast it, so feel welcome to revise it as you feel

all the best,

R

I wouldn't be able to vote this without knowing the body style. I prefer certain finishes on certain basses (ie. in general, I prefer matching headstocks on jazz style basses vs. p style basses).

good question!

A: the body is very much like the M-Series 4-string lefty I've posted about in the Regenerate forum. this specific bass will have a pickguard and custom metal control plate

all the best

thanks to those who shared in the poll 8-)

Sea Foam Green it shall be ... I've ordered SFG, and also have a small supply of Daphne Blue and Coral coming as well.

all the best,
