Color Combinations

I love the couch cover

 

Worst: Sunburst with green pearloid PG.
The only one of these I've even seen is Jemaine's bass in FotC.
Best, hands down: Natural blonde with white pearloid PG.

IMHO, sunburst only looks good with a black or tortoise pg...
Sorry but IMO the sunburst/white pearloid bass in that pic is just plain UGLY!
So are that guy's tattoos...

 

Best I have ever seen

 

^ Wow. Best looking TB style I have ever seen.



(TB=thunderbird, not talk bass in this instance)

 

Yup its my lovely Spector Rex 5

 

Great, you hate every color I own.

S.

 

A bound and blocked neck makes them all look good!

I love my Squier VM, Geddy Clone and my Natural Ash Jazz with white pickguard and Pearloid blocked maple neck with the cream binding.

Funny too as I was NEVER a natural finished bass lover till that Ash SX....

 

I own/have owned basses in black, 2 and 3 colour bursts, silver, grey, white, blue, red, maroon, natural, light and dark brown.

I am really more concerned with the sound than the colour.

FWIW, if I was offered a great sounding/playing bass in baby puke green/yellow, I would likely pass. IMO, as long as the bass looks 'OK" but sounds great and plays great, colour is my last concern.

 

I love that red burst with black guard. I'm looking to put together a bass (Precision is how I'm leaning) with a look like that. What other reds are out there with that deep red color? (yeah, I know... red). I don't care for midnight wine or fiesta.

Sunburst with tort is a favorite of mine. Olympic White with tort. Shoreline Gold with tort is killer.

Loony Bob's Spector is pretty wild.

 

There's that double neck, posted by you, labeled "Redburst with a black pickguard". I love that color combination–that deep, rich red with the black guard. I have a Modulus BaSSStar neck that I've been hoping to pair with just the right body; I'm thinking a Fender P in a red like that with a black guard, single Darkstar and chrome accoutrements.

loonybob123, a registered TB user, posted a pic (above) of his Spector Rex 5 with what appears to be a highly reflective. and wildly figured paint job. Very nice.

 

I'm not sure what that red would be called. I took "Redburst" to be a two-color burst using a specific red for the transparent color. I think that's the first I've seen of that.

The red I have in mind is something like Gibson's Cherry Red as used on their SG series guitars. I think that deep red with black is a great color combination, but especially so when using a Darkstar with its exposed, dual pole pieces, and chrome surround. There is almost an almost art deco, or Bauhaus industrial look to it that I find very appealing. My Modulus neck is jet black with no weave pattern or KLD. I'm searching for the right look for a new parts build.
