Favorite bass color

[Chrisk-K]

Any color except green and blue looks great on bass.

 

[Diesel Kilgore]

Surf green, lake placid blue, white.

Black for a metal bass.

 

[Fender_Bender]

Fiesta red with tort is #1 of course, with an honourable mention to lake placid blue.

 

[BD Jones]

Brown of some sort (including burst) as long as it shows the wood).

Hi sikamikanico

Came here to say that I guess orange is an option

Tooooo many options!

That said I have three that are "blonde" and one that is "redish"

I won' t put them in the mixer to get carrots!!!

Wise(b)ass

I'm a big fan of red - Fiesta Red, Dakota Red, Candy Apple Red, and especially Rickenbacker's Ruby.

Just a bit of fun for the weekend.

There's obviously no 'right' answer - although I suspect some may disagree

Blue bursts of various types are my faves, with flamed maple showing through. See my avatar, for instance.

Here are my basses:

And this one isn't blue, but I did get a blue pickguard for it...

And the one bass I didn't get to pick the color for...

 

[Marhmol]

Everything else gives me GAS.

 

[Watchootognbout]

Wood.

 

[Pings Bass]

I voted burst, but somehow I mostly end up with brown

 

[David Vector]

Transparent burst finishes I guess...blueburst, greenburst, crimson burst. Really like the "deep space burst" finish on an Ibanez guitar I just picked up and found myself wishing Ibanez offered more finishes like that on their basses. Maybe someday I'll splurge and have my natural finish ATK redone in a nice burst.

 

[InhumanResource]

Seafoam green. The real one, not the 50s laminate counter top Fender sells today.

 

[MYLOWFREQ]

I got multiple colors but if I had only one bass, that'd be black. Gloss black w/ either black or chrome hardware or mat black w/ black hardware. Rock.

 

[Mantis Tobaggan]

Faded Sonic Blue

 

[liverbird]

Peach.

 

[Inara]

I voted purple, but if pink had been an option it would have been close ... probably still purple, though.

BURSTS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ostie]

View attachment 3332552 Green. Sea Foam Green, that is

I have a surf green Talman tmb100 and Squier Tele. My fave color right now.

Natural wood. Most of my basses look that way - even if they have to fake it. The only one that isn't is my Fender P/J, which is seafoam (I call it the Bridesmaid's Dress).

That said, I'd kill for a MIJ Fender Areodyne bass in Lake Placid Blue. That is a Thing Of Beauty.
