I found this:

but no photos of an actual Rick in paisley. Perhaps a vinyl paisley wrap?

Absolutely none...

OK had you described that Lakland to me without the benefit of the pic, a little bit of vomit probably would have entered my mouth. But I'll be honest. That thing is a sharp looking instrument. Really. I would rock it with a big grin.

Who knows it could even work on a violin shaped body.

Ugh, yes, all of them.


I was actually going to say the Casady, I think it would compliment its styling really well.

But honestly, I don't think anything can beat out the Tele Bass in either Silver or Pink Paisley.

I'd rock a paisly, non-reverse T-Bird... if there are any photoshop-proficient TBers out there who are looking for a project, I'd love to see one in dark purple.

Seriously.

I'm not joking.

STOP LAUGHING.

The Fender Telebass of course (I want one bad).
That Lakland hollowbody looks awesome.
Definitely give Marksound a call to those interested in any paisley or sparkly action.

I'll give the Tele basses in paisley a pass, mostly out of respect for the hippy dippy era, but to me all others look like grandma finally found something to do with her late '60s window drapes.

Though I prefer the reverse T-Bird, that sounds like a cool match up!

A bit over the "top", but I kinda dig it.

That's awesome!! I can only imagine how hard it was to do that to a neck.

Isn't that Dusty Hill's bass?

I would like to see a G&L ASAT bass in paisley. I think the tele shaped body would look fantastic.

[superjesus]

I think a 4001, a standard P Bass, and a Ray would look killer in a paisley, so long as the edges are burst to match like on the pink paisley Fenders. ASATs and SB-1/ SB-2s would probably look good as paisley a too. I like the idea of a solid colored pickguard to stand off from the paisley finish.

I do not like all-over paisley finishes. They're a bit garish to my eyes.

For the record, at least two Geddy Lees have worn a pink paisley guard while they were in my stable.

[esoxhntr]

A Squire Badzt-Maru Bass... which I would then use to beat Hello Kitty into a shapeless mess.

[kcole4001]

C'mon people, single cutaway Gretsch hollow body bass in paisley fer crissakes.
Kind of a darkish purple would be great.
Jeez, such and easy question I'm really surprised no one got the answer yet.

How has his thread gone beyond one post saying "None!"

Yep, I copped that pic from his facebook fan page.

[Pimpernel Smith]

It's all looking a bit William Morris / Pre-Raphaelite patterned to me, but that's a good thing.
I wonder if Jack Casady,himself, would think the was having an LSD flashback if he saw one of his Epi basses festooned in paisley?
