Black Coffee Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) Why only consider black or white when there are so many finishes available ? The bahama blue is a fav of mine. Edited July 15, 2013 by bassman344 Quote
Lfalex v1.1 Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 [quote name='Clarky72' timestamp='1373914782' post='2143120'] I'm not seeing that to be completely honest... [/quote] Two points. 1. The Spector is slightly saved by the fact that it has a black headstock and black controls. How wrong would it be with a white headstock and gold controls? Very. 2. I was referring to a white bathroom suite with gold taps, plug holes etc... Quote

Kev Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1373840093' post='2142232'] How about a trans black finish like my Euro 5LX?

Thunderbird Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 I think black looks fantastic but shows dust and white is nice but always looks dirty lol I would still go for black myself though Quote
Jellyfish Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 If you know it's not going to get damaged easily, get white. If it is probably going to get damaged, go with black. Quote
Kiwi Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 For Hair Metal? White, no question. If you get bored with it later, you can graffiti it with spray cans or markers. Quote
tonyf Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) If it's a custom order, what about .... Yummidy yum. Edited July 16, 2013 by tonyf Quote
Clarky72 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 @Tonyf : That is really nice, although not for me to be honest. @Kiwi : Its not exclusively for hair metal, although that's my roots. It will be used for pub covers band, and for regular metal band. I am thinking white though... Quote
cetera Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 As the proud owner of Spectors in both black AND white I suggest............. Either! They both look stunning! Quote
Clarky72 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 haha... i had a feeling you might say that!! Quote
Conan Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 It's a lovely dilemma to find yourself in! For me, I'm with Henry Ford. Quote
sambucadan Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 You want one like mine, I saw you staring longingly at it on Saturday night................and if you go off the natural finish paint it :-) Quote

I'll get Julian to paint it, he did a good job of the lounge, he must be good at basses too? Quote
paul h Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Is it too late for me to say...WHITE? No? Ok. WHITE. Quote
Themrperson Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Why is everyone saying white? Black is the best! Even though it is a pain to keep clean, it looks better in my opinion and it suits more genres better! Quote
sambucadan Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 it would be the last paint job Julian ever did...... Quote
Cosmo Valdemar Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Steve, now I have met you I feel qualified to answer your question - and the answer can only be... WHITE. Black's just too obvious! And it's harder to appreciate the Spector styling on a dark stage. Quote

JapanAxe Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 White. Black is a bit boring really - if the instrument I am buying happens to be black, so be it, but given the choice: White! Quote
Clarky72 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Posted July 25, 2013 I think when I do order I'm going to keep the thread running, I'm liking the opinions... I'm edging towards white more than black however at the moment! Quote
Black Coffee Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 I just took delivery of a spector coda 5 deluxe in amber over maple top with birdseye maple fretboard. I can safely say it is one of the best combinations of colours in a finish that ive ever seen. Totally cool. Its propped in the stand so i can stare at it and its nearly too nice to play. As for how it sounds? Well its pure effortless bliss on a 34" scale. Go get some. Quote
Geek99 Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 [quote name='molan' timestamp='1373830887' post='2142081'] I always prefer Spectors with nice natural, or stained, wood tops [/quote] + 1 Quote
