Best Colour for Punk Bass

[The_Bass_Troll]

Completely subjective, but I've noticed a lot of Punk basses are white, which just doesn't seem "punk" to an Auslander like myself, but really seems to work none-the-less. So I wanted to ask those who know: In your opinions: What is the "best colour" for a Punk bass?

 

[Bleeder]

Pink, of course.

What’s more punk than pink?

 

[Bob_Ross]

I think white basses are most appealing for punk rock because blood stains show up best against a white background.

I'll take "What is a white Precision with a black pickguard and maple neck?" for 400, Alex.

Don't forget the black coat, white shoes, black hat, and cadillac

I don't play punk, but if I did, I'd probably modify a bass with stickers, a chainsaw, and a blowtorch.

use to play punk/metal...many moons ago...white/black/natural, all dirty with dried, sweat, blood, tears, beer and a few geeky stickers and your all set

Aquamarine metal flake, in my experience.

The best color for punk bass is... worn.

Not the first time (or context) I’ve dropped this photo in, but while Dixie Dave Collins

isn’t “punk,” I think his bass is

That’s what makes it punk. Everyone thinks punk and thinks black or really loud colors. But a true punk zigs when everyone expects zag.

The best Bass for punk is,
whatever bass you have
and, if you don't have a bass, the cheapest bass you can find at your local pawn shop!
(bonus points if you steal the bass from said pawnshop)

If you are worrying about what your bass looks like, then you're buying into some middle-class, faux-punk aesthetic, capitalist worldview (and that makes you a sellout!)

Olympic white P bass with a maple fretboard and black pickguard. Total rock and roll.

To me it's a road worn Ricky 4001 jetglo. Throw on the neon green Dean Markley skull busters and you got punk city
