Show me some colors!!

[JavierFarias]

Hi there!! i've been a memeber for a while here, but this is my first thread

well, i'm a fender fan but I'm kind of sick of the color which most basses come, like sunburst, black, red and white, I know those colors are good but, what happened to all those colors like graffiti yellow, surf green, sonic blue etc ?

i'm from Chile and when i bought my first fender bass it was the last one remaining all over the country (it was an signature bass) and it was BLACK (s#!t!!)
so I painted it orange (yes, I painted a brand new bass )
and here it is!




(sorry for the bad quality photos, I had to use my phone's camera)

now i'm planning to paint another bass and I may need some inspiration, so, show me some colors!
Thanks!!!

well it's obvious you like orange, so why not put a little fire into it?

Good job making it your own! Some models of Fender come in a variety of colors, but I get disappointed that others, like the five-string MIM J bass or the VM and CV Squiers, will only come in one or two colors each. I suppose it's just the economics of mass marketing. I think if I pulled the trigger on one I'd need to refinish it to a greenburst or something like that.

yes, it's a shame! but the good thing about re-paint is to know that your bass is more unique.

I've always like Lake Placid Blue like on my '72 Jazz

those jazz are nice!! i've been thinking about getting an mim jazz bass on lake placid blue, but i'm not much of a fan of mim basses, i would rather an geddy lee, but i would have to re paint it
