I love both finishes, but I did pick DCM.
Maybe the early eggplant shade of BG could be a COY someday?

Yea the BG gets my vote, but the DCM isn't bad at all. Both are very nice.

BG...it should be a standard color, IMO, along with MB.

That was my first reaction, but opted for BG as my first choice. Tough decision.

Both lovely....

The first generation EPG/BG is still the yardstick for all other shades in my humble...

Looking at Goofy's link there, and thinking first generation, makes me feel like I'm on the bridge of the Enterprise, with the planet or something coming ever closer... :lol:

Well, I voted for DCM, but I admit a bias as I've never met a BG in person. I also don't think DCM photographs particularly well, but the ones I owned were stunning for the finish's ability to dance in light.

Now that's a sublime-looking bass, Wints. Very cool. Hmmm, yeah. Maybe I'll slow down the Ken Burns or "better living through chemicals" effect. Naawwhh! Late, brah.......G-foot.
