karlfer Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 It looks very much like I will be keeping my Little Mark TUBE 800, as nae bugger wants to buy it. The top and bottom are scratched badly. I can do nothing about the bottom. I own a Rive fishing box, and lots of other Rive owners get custom coloured framework done. Stripped and powder coated. I am going to remove the lid from the amp and get that stripped and powder coated on the top. My question to you, Basschat massive is this. WHAT COLOUR? My thoughts so far; Yellow, match knobs, speakers, have a stack that looks like a Turner Prize Wasp. White. Toon colours. Black. Meh Any of you lot good with that photoshop stuff? Ta, Karl.

xgsjx Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Get some sticky backed vinyl. Maybe something patterned? Treadplate style? Vinyl is quite easy to apply if you have a smooth surface & a hairdryer & it can be picked up cheaply too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Yellow stripes, really go for the wasp look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grenadilla Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Is your bass Surf Green ? That colour would be a nice contrast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 First, go to the powder coaters and get sample tags of each of the colours that they offer. Then you'll know what your choices are. If you made it orange, that would really confuse gearstalkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conan Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Purple! Not only is it the best colour, but it goes great with yellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Break out the wet'n'dry and got for the brushed aluminium look. Unless it's steel, then it'll go horribly rusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I would be tempted to get some Graphite look vinyl and cover it with that something like this as a rough idea http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vape-vinyl-decal-skin-wrap-mod-NO-DEVICE-Cloupor-30w-Mini-/271809386977?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=570635586095&hash=item3f491a19e1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Yellow leatherette, pimp style. I like xgsjx's tread plate suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom1946 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Just use the bloody thing, won't sound any better if you waste money powder coating it? I have been known to be wrong mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 For me, amp coloration is all about fitting in with the existing decor.

Paul S Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Those boots are something! Have to say, HJ, it worries me slightly that you seem to have this immediate and apparently limitless access to weird photos... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Rock Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) There's not much that will compliment the yellow knobs. Matching yellow is a possibility, but IMO there is already too much Markbass Yellow inflicting the world ;-) Black is pointless, so if you had to change it, I'd vote for full on aluminium chequerplate, which might actually give it a bit of a Hacienda/FAC51 vibe. Actually, you could go further and do the Hacienda diagonal grey and yellow stripes on top Edited May 3, 2015 by Roland Rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 I have a strange liking for those boots. Might have to dig mine out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
