burno70 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I like loads of different finishes; olly white with a tort guard is up there, I like nice natural woods too - and quilted maple with a nice colour finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 For me natural with a satin finish If it has to be a particular colour then probably aged OW is right up there: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Three colour tobacco sunburst, transparent blue burst, candy apple red. But in all honesty, I like some variety. Six string wise, my satin finished natural Ibanez is very lovely too, as is a white Tokai SG not sure it would count as 'olympic'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low End Bee Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I'm a fan of solid colours.Black, daphne blue, LPB, CAR and white in particular. I don't like seeing wood grain. Even though my P bass is 3TSB I dislike sunburst. It was annoyingly by far the best one I tried. I don't like tort or pearloid scratchplates either. Give me black or white any day. The white pearl one on my JMJ Mustang is destined for the spares drawer. Racing stripes are perfectly acceptable too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 3 of mine, my EB3, P-bass copy, and 335-style semi are well polished ultra gloss piano black - the semi-acoustic and the EB3 also have black necks and fretboards, the latter is even strung with black tapewounds. So I suppose my favourite colour for a bass is black........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krysbass Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Visible wood grain with no pick guards (which obviously rules out certain iconic and widely revered basses at a stroke)😊 Beyond that; whether colour-stained or natural wood and gloss or satin finishes; all these are fine by me.

NancyJohnson Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I prefer solid colours over sunbursts or oiled finishes. Preferably black, although (as posted elsewhere), if I could locate a Hamer Cruisebass I'd swing for any colour to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
