When I asked him about getting LPB, he asked me if I had a photo as he didn't want to do LPB and it turn out I'd been after the darker (more green) like in your photo. Howard knew the official name for that colour as it came up in our discussion but it escapes me atm. Just ask and/ or show him the picture and I'm sure he'll be able to help you out. As I'm sure you know, what Howard doesn't know about bass isn't worth knowing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 The official colour is LPB - it's just aged so it looks a bit like Sherwood Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could just tippex four dots on each. Colour-wise... this is winning: [/quote] I love green basses and that's stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee4 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 IMO the flats are way better. The tone is more "rounded",and the little lick that you threw in sings out better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
