Best Color Combination P Bass

[AndyPanda]

no paint at all is the best color P bass for me

 

[2F/2F]

Both basses look better in the bottom picture.

The blue with maple board and white guard looks particularly bad...but it would look great with a single-ply black guard.

"LOOKS" are one thing (white w rosewood for me). But that takes a back seat to "feel". So I hope it "FEELS" as good as it looks. You may need to swap some parts around before you sell off the excess.

IIMA?....What two models of P bass are we looking at?And, is the rosewood the best playing neck?Is there a difference in the tuners?and if so are they on the neck I choose?Just some things that I would also consider...Have fun putting it together and enjoy whatever you end up with man ​

Anyway,purely for appearance I voted white with rosewood, with some proper knobs...I would definitely swipe the bridge off the blue one.(and the knobs if they can be exchanged) In fact,why not compare the pups, jack, pots, wires and upgrade the white one as much as possible

White/maple and blue/rosewood but they both need mint pickguards.

White and maple, make the pickguard match the body and knobs, same with the pickups and done!

Blues and reds are eye-catching and sexy for awhile, but white and rosewood remains the most enduring and attractive.

How about Burgundy Mist and Rosewood?

I don’t think that choice was offered…

That’s a nice one, though.

Its kinda obvious that the nature of the question is bring overlooked. Oh, well, maybe I should post a(nother) pic of my Mike Lull P5 in natural with maple fretboard….

Even though I own a blue w/ maple that I dearly love, I think white w/ rosewood is far superior to that look of "classic" to me. White w/ rosewood would be my choice.

Here's my 3 P's, I like them all for what they are. CAR, White Pearl & Ice Blue Nitro.

Blue, blue blue, everything blue!

Especially with a maple board.

This guy knows what I’m talking about!

 

[Groove Doctor]

I vote for the one that weighs the least.

Never thought I'd own a white bass until I saw this on Craigslist! IMO the tort makes the white pop.

I'm biased, but I love the blue/maple combo
