I like this one as it’s got a very red sunburst

Basses that stand out live visually, but aren't over-the-top

Not exactly sure what the question is but here is my bass that I bought as a beater but everybody loves it!! Sounds great! Yes I play nice gigs!
Oddly enough, my Ric 4001. It's the only bass I have ever played on stage that I had people come up to me and ask me what it was. That's happened three times in the last two years since I have had it. I will add that Rics are super rare in this area...you just don't see them on stages or even in stores.
I would argue one of these bad boys. Sire z3 in sparkle black. They play and sound great too. I’m only selling mine off because I finally got my hands on an EBMM SUB that blows my socks off every time I pick it up!
I got a lot of comments on this green Squier sonic p bass that I played last summer. I played for a long time with a rosewood MIJ fender neck, but most recently had a Warmoth Wenge/rosewood neck on it. The 90’s band crowd loved the “shrek green” color lol

Sure, any one of these gets a look or two when played live… anything in purple. 
My Maruszczyk always gets comments!
Last rehearsal with a few more attendees, I brought my White Horse Bartender precision bass.
Don’t know if people were listening with their eyes as much as with their ears but most of them felt the need to touch it during the break :

I was asking to see pics of basses that turn heads live, not for the sound but the appearance. Some folks are just posting the basses they have without understanding the topic. But that’s par for the course on any thread on TalkBass. Lol
This one doesn’t leave the house very often, but when it does, it gets oooed at
