shizznit Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 The only black bass I ever owned was a Jap Fender J 'Boner'. A local luthier replaced the scratchplate with a mirrored one. Very Steve Harris looking, but it looked the mutts nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShergoldSnickers Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1331040348' post='1566668'] As a heavy metal fan, I like black instruments a lot, and my first student bass was indeed black, as is my new fretless and my upright. However, I also love natural and blue. [/quote] What a splendid trio. Very nice indeed those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I only have Black. Even my natural Ripper was black when I bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 [quote name='Mylkinut' timestamp='1331006109' post='1566204'] I also like Sonic Blue. [/quote] On a cat? Nah, tabby or tuxedo for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Have to say that black very very rarely works for me. I am trying to think of an example of that colour that I would accept, tbh. My next bass will be a sunburst over a nice grain of ash, tort plate, plus RW board with white binding and MoP blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Undead Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) [quote name='Mylkinut' timestamp='1331006109' post='1566204'] I also like Sonic Blue. [/quote] Oh man. That Precision looks incredible. My favourite colour for a bass is white for Precision and Jazz, black for everything else really. I also like LPB. Oh, and I'm a huge fan of maple fretboards.

Townes1992 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I have a red p-bass (copy), with a black scratchplate and the colour has really grown on me, though i dont think i'd go for such a bright colour in the future. Next bass I buy has to be Sunburst! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mylkinut Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 [quote name='Chris Horton' timestamp='1331040770' post='1566679'] Your yam & and p bass are stunning ! So sweet [/quote] [quote name='brensabre79' timestamp='1331041403' post='1566696'] +1. Gorgeous! I hope my White J ends up this colour one day!

[/quote] Thanks muchly - that Precision is what turned me onto white basses in the first place I've actually since bought another white P (white pg, maple 'board)... really should do an updated family shot.

CBbass Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Black Burst on G&L's is the sex, I also love tobaccos. Some colours like pelham blue, burgundy mist, daphne blue, blonde are nice though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRichards Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 What do you think about "reverse bursts"? Kubicki used to feature them, dark blue or dark color in center, fading toward the edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Olympic white - but I can live with most colours as long as it doesn't look like a coffee table and isn't blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
