Any thoughts... its exactly the same as this but with gold hardwear Edited June 8, 2010 by bubinga5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Personally I don't get it (but then I'm hung up on Surf Green which isn't to everyone's taste). I can appreciate that a shell pink guitar may look nice on it's own but then you have to imagine being up on stage with it and ask yourself "Who am I more likely to get chatted up by after the gig? The blonde or the guy in the leather cap with a fetching Mexican moustache". Now fluorescent pink.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) Yeah ive been thinking this..then i say stop being silly,.its only a color..Even Flea plays a Shell pink 61 Edited June 8, 2010 by bubinga5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameltoe Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I wouldn't care, if the gold hardware didn't over campify it. My fiesta red road worn is pretty much pink. Man up! Pink is for real men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatEric Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Pink is in!! Bought mine some time ago to go with my Pink 57 P. You play all 50's/60's when you strap it on. It's Luvverly! Go on, you know you want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basshead56 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Have and do play a pink Fender. Its the Mark Hoppus sig. Never been chatted up by a leather-capped chap after a gig using it, but have been by plenty of blondes (most of them female too) Guess it depends on the gig and the venue. Its a classic colour and the test of a real bass player!!! also the Hoppus is the best sounding stock mex Fender ever built. FACT!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 burgundy/pink? Yeah, i'm all over it - the boys in the band didn't get it when i said 'it's metallic pink' until they saw it. I know LozBass has just got a Pink Nordy - hoping he tires of it quickly and offers it to me! Takes a real man to play a pink bass. I'm still searching for a Pink Paisley 54 P-Bass reissue.

Ian Savage Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I'm utterly secure in my sexuality, so I'd play a pink bass without question if it were decent. Ideally pink sparkle, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) Pink is a good colour, and looks classy as hell, and cool. I say go for it. Im not into gold hardware but thats me. Ive seen one of those Stingray Classics in Pink and it was stunning.

Lfalex v1.1 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 A good bass is a good bass, irrespective of the colour. For this reason, I have a purple bass and an orange bass (among others) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gust0o Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 What's wrong with pink?! The only one I struggle with is the pastel pink - but there have been some awesome Nordys sighted on this forum which could teach me to love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
