Here's a different Kiloton 5 bass with various options ...

Post by Craig »

Here's a Kiloton 5 in Tangerine Metallic over swamp ash, black binding, pearl guard, Ebony board, pearl block inlays, white neck binding, body color headstock, Graph-Tech nut.
CLF1707106 is headed to G&L Premier Dealer Rocket Music in Blacksburg, Virginia.

IMO, the mix of binding colors, White Pearl inlays in an Ebony fretboard, with the 3-ply Pearloid pickguard all work well together. :thumbup:

What do you think?

I'd play that :thumbup:
Is the 4+1 headstock standard for the 5 strings these days?
It looks much better than the 3+2 configuration IMO.

I think a similar binding on the headstock would have looked sweet too. Not that you see that sort of thing very often.
