Coolest looking P-Bass?

To me, it's the modern style P-bass in sunburst w/ a white scratchplate and rosewood neck. It just looks contemporary and balanced.
What's the coolest P-bass look to you guys?

That would be this...

2011 Fender 60th Anniversay Precision in sunburst finish.

Not that I'm a part of the tort-or-die army, but my favorite is rosewood, black, and tort for sure.

Jeez, I've wanted on of these since I was 12 yrs old.

I would like a p-bass with the same colour as my squier jazz, antique burst. Looks beaut. But the p-bass I hope to get if I do well in my exams is a candy apple red American special p-bass with a black p-guard. Certainly is a great carrot on a stick for this stubborn ass! :P oh, but there's lake placid blue too. Darn. :/
yep, either antique burst (not even sure if it's possible) with tort p-guard
Candy apple red with black p-guard
Or lake placid blue with white p-guard.

Maybe some find it boring, but I actually like B&W + rosewood best.

Hmm.. Hard to choose mate. I'm going for a black body, matched headstock and blue pickguard.

Don't have a picture, since I don't own any P-bass

TortugaDaPipah · #12 06-13-2012, 05:19 AM

Rosewood, white and tort. Love it.

msb · #13 06-13-2012, 05:28 AM

Slab bodied , white , maple neck , black guard , like the rare British imports .

AltGrendel · #14 06-13-2012, 05:58 AM

Black and Maple. Hope to get one someday.

msb · #15 06-13-2012, 06:04 AM

... and the classic burst /tort/rosewood . They look so right .

I'll see your look and raise you a flamed maple top.

Butterscotch/Black/Maple is pretty cool too.

I wouldn't say that is my favorite, but I'm a sucker for that combo, especially with bridge and pickup covers and a thumbrest.

Take your pick (I no longer have the 60th and I regret it every day ...):

I can imagine. I've had mine since early February and the honeymoon is nowhere near over.

Even Sonny gets a little upset when I tell him he can't play it.

I sold it for a CS Jazz bass ... that I then sold. I now have a 2012 MIA Jazz which, frankly has a better neck and over all feel ... but that's for another thread.

My 2008 P-Bass is the best bass I've ever owned. And, since I put the pearloid guard on it, it's the best looking bass ever (IMO of course).
