Custom Color decisions - Precision Bass

[Dark Horse]

I'm thinking that the next bass I build (for personal use) will be modeled after a custom color 1963 Fender Precision Bass. I have a few favorite custom colors, but really am "torn" between a few of them.

Inca Silver
Dakota Red
Burgundy Mist Metallic

Those are really the only ones I'm interested in.

That's where YOU come in ! Help me decide what color P Bass to build !

Here are pics of a few vintage Fender instruments in these colors -

One for Burgundy Mist Metallic...that 2nd bass with the matching headstock gives me shivers.

Sonic Blue!

Oh ok... you can't go wrong with any of those, but Burgandy Mist with a mint guard would be sweet!

 

[blendermassacre]

please do inca silver. That and copper metallic are my most favorite fender custom colors.

Dakota Red has never been a favorite of mine.However........

On a P Bass with white pg and covers on it is STUNNING!

I've just redone mine that goldy colour with tortoise shell pick guard....beautiful rich looking.

Inca Silver is out to a commanding lead !

Or like I posted in an earlier thread, go with a color Fender never used.
There are hundreds of pearls, candies, flakes and chameleon colors to choose from.

Be adventurous.

Well, I can vouch for Inca Silver. Its killer.

 

[John Bigboote]

Burgundy Mist with the matching headstock and a mint p/g. If you can't do the matching headstock... well, do the matching headstock!

Thanks, but I prefer to stick with the classic Fender custom colors.


Painting a classic P Bass in some funky candy color would be like painting a fully restored 64 Riviera hot pink. It's like the little skinny girl that gets a double D boob job. It's ok to look at for a minute, but in the long run it just "doesn't work", at least not to my eyes. Everything has to be "balanced, and in its' proper place" !

The race is starting to even up !

 

[Fetusyolk]

i'm not that into glossy red finishes but i like the dakota red

 

[xoloder]

burgundy mist with a nice tortoise guard is always a beautiful combo.

 

[Dark Horse]

Tight race so far !

Inca Silver fo' sho.
