Jamesemt Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I'm painting my Precision but can't decide on a colour. If I had a maple neck, then it would be LPB without a doubt, but I have a rosewood neck and am a bit stuck. Going for a bit of a vintage vibe, scratch plate will not be tort as I can't stand it, probably parchment. I'm thinking Candy Apple Red...what do you reckon?

MB1 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 MB1. Lovely colour candy apple red but not the easiest to spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristinaelias Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Can't go wrong with CAR, but if you fancy something more unusual then why not go for Sonic (not the darker Daphne) Blue, that was only originally produced with Rosewood - well on Strats anyway, ever so George Harrison. Or there's always Oly white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I think daphne blue or surf green look great on Fender basses with rosewood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesemt Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Never thought about Daphne blue before - seems to really suit Rosewood (and is the current favourite). Anyone got any thoughts on Firemist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfie Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Go for a double, LPB with CAR underneath, so where the LPB wears away with gigging and touring use, the CAR will show through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
