What is the better color?

Yes, midnight blue with white trim is really nice, I had one and had to sell it unfortunately, was really a beautiful classy looking bass, on the other hand I hate it with black trim, reminds me of a bruise, haha! I would consider getting another Midnight Blue with with white trim though, they do look much nicer in person, the finish is brilliant. I also love the jetglo's with black trim and the white's with white trim, simplicity.
I have a fretless 4003 Blue Boy coming.

Ok I was sleeping during all of that. I want a solid color bass. I'm already getting a bass with the wood showing through from Dave Pushic so I'm set on a natural bass.
I love the BT on the "Blue Beast" but Jetglo still gets to me. Rath, I probably would take the taped up bass. It just seem simple to me. The red white and blue pic... I'd take the red or blue. Plus they're real 5ers. I would rader have a 4003s... anyone have an "s" bass for sale? If I got one of those I could try to do a BT sort of thing to it and I wouldn't have white binding to worry about.
That Blue Boy looks great in white!

Nate, I have 4003's in both Midnight Blue and Jetglo.
Both finishes are beautiful - they are my top 2 favorites - good picks, both.
Jetglo is classic and beautiful. Simple and powerful, always looks right.
Midnight Blue is my favorite, though. Especially with the white binding - it is stunning how good it looks. Chris P and the others were right about that, and it is true how much better it even looks in person. The Midnight Blue has a metal flake in the finish that is fantastic in person. And, like Brian mentioned, the Mid Blue really grows on you too. I would vote Midnight Blue, but you can't go wrong with either!
Here is a photo with the midnight blue that shows a little of the sparkle. Not a great photo, but it shows how cool the metal flake in the finish looks:
You can't go wrong with either Midnight Blue or Jetglo!
