Thinking about finally buying a bass with a burst finish, but which one?

[jd56hawk]

Some people are putting down the new Squier, but I like it, very somber...I think the black anodized aluminum pickguard really helps.

However, it won't be out until April so I'm considering something from the Fender Custom Shop.
The only thing is, I can't decide on which burst.
Any ideas on which way to go?
Vintage burst, tobacco burst, antique burst, violin burst, sienna burst, amber burst, brown burst, mahogany burst, mystic burst, bourbon burst, cognac burst, black lager burst, 2-color sunburst, 3-color sunburst, chocolate 2-color burst, chocolate 3-color burst, teriyaki burst, mocha burst, anniversary burst, retro burst, autumn burst, burnt umber burst, raw umber burst, caramel burst, cafe noir burst, walnut burst, chestnut burst, hazelnut burst, macadamia nut burst, western saddle burst, cat's eye burst, agate burst, root beer burst, birch beer burst, wurst burst, tar-bubble burst, English breakfast-tea burst, blood-pudding burst, Baked-Alaska burst, Boston-baked-bean burst.
Like a kid in a candy store, I just can’t decide!

Then you'll get a Snickers, and if you complain then I'll eat it and you'll get nothing!

I like the Squier, some people don't which might be superfluous information- however It's not out till April so rather than wait a couple of months I'm going to spend 10 times as much on a Fender custom shop .... but really what colour?

 

go for the one that sounds the best

That's sheer perfection!

Solid black, none of your fancy 'bursts.

“The Squier isn’t out til next month, so I’ll get a CS instead”.  Hell of leap, there!
