I use a red (Cort Action) and a dark-brown (Rokaxe Cantfindanyinfo) bass, the second one looking almost black.

But if I had a choice for a custom color: a nice dark green or the natural wood would be my choice.

No votes for blue?

I'm looking at a stunning LTD with a translucent blue flamed maple top at the moment... think it will look epic!

Anything that is not black is not true... and if it is not true it must die!!!


When I play metal I usually get my Pearl Peavey Dynabass

Black. Sort of a pastel black. How much more black could it be? None. None more black.

"Bora Blue Burst"

Or you could say green or blue, depending on the lighting.

Black is just my colour. A bit of red if you're feeling bold.
