miles'tone Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 [quote name='Vinny' timestamp='1434020165' post='2795959'] This seems like a good time to calm the nerves of the multitudes rendered insensible at the sight of a gentleman [s]playing with his pink wood in [/s][s]public[/s] owning a bass in very pale red, by posting a picture of the legendary Shrinking Violet being used in anger. Any excuse!

Marc S Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) [quote name='peety' timestamp='1432734297' post='2784386'] Limelight in shell pink with tort and rosewood [attachment=192947:LIMELIGHT.JPG] [/quote] Saw this shell pink on the Limelight thread and I have to say it's possibly my favourite looking bass...... ever! I really like the colour, and I have to agree with a previous post in that I think it somehow just works better if slightly roadworn I can't put my finger on quite why that is, for me it just does My first thought was that the tort plate wasn't the best and I normally like tort best of all But it can prove difficult to photograph, and accurately capture the colour So maybe, in the flesh, it looks fine That shell pink Jazz with the tort plate looks fab Maybe try a white one? But ultimately, it's up to you You don't have to justify your choices to anyone, least of all yourself (stolen from another BC'er!) PS. Let us know what you opt for PPS. Whatever that is, it will be "right" Edited June 12, 2015 by Marc S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Theres a busker on byres road who plays a very old beaten up shell pink and tort jaguar (or jazzmaster) looks stunning. I would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChunkyMunky Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 [quote name='obbm' timestamp='1432729214' post='2784318'] Pink is fine. I have an MIJ '96 Anniversary Jazz which I acquired many years ago through this Forum. It has all the signs of being heavily used both by the original owner and myself. I found that the original white scratch plate was a bit too in-your-face so I changed it to a Tort. This was taken before I changed back to a VVT control plate. [/quote] This is now a new favourite.

discreet Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Well you're all GAY! Or maybe I am. It's a question of degree really, isn't it? I probably wouldn't play a pink bass, but I might play a pale red one, or a light purple one, or something... I like that aged, washed-out Fiesta Red/salmon colour you sometimes get, and that's as close to pink as... something close to a pink thing is, probably... I dunno, I'm a bit confused... *Plays Ethel Merman record at top volume* Edited June 12, 2015 by discreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
