Show me the various "whites"

[Edgetone]

I'm looking to get a Kiloton 5 bass. I want a nice gloss white with mint pickguard. The problem is that I can't tell what each white really looks like: Vintage, Alpine, Pearl.

I've seen a post on ebay with a Vintage white and mint guard that looked like a slightly off-white, but the Vintage White example on the G&L site looks like a very creamy white.

Could anyone do a shot of all three whites using the exact same lighting so I can see the difference? I like the Ernie Ball Caprice Bass white and mint. Does anyone know which G&L white is closest?

Thanks for your assistance.

I have a Vintage White SC-2. It has a yellowish/creamy tinge. Sorry, no photos to provide you, and the photos that were part of the Reverb listing I purchased it from didn't accurately represent what it looks like in person.

That's what I thought.

So is Pearl white a more pure white than Alpine? Or the other way around?

I think you want Alpine White. Pearl white is a metallic finish similar to Lake Placid Blue, Candy Apple Red, Margarita Metallic... I like the metallic finishes, but sounds this me you want just white.

Yup. That answers it. Alpine white it is.

We have various examples of all finishes, see this post in our G&L Knowledgebase: February 1, 2017-present Body Finishes.

Hope this helps.
