Favorite (not so common) Body Color?

[KevInDaBassment]

I could make a poll, but there are soooo many different colors out there that I feel making this a "share your bass color" thread would be more productive.


So there are some colors that we just associate with certain basses because they are tradermark or commonly seen colors. 3TS, Black, red, and bare wood are some common colors we see on bass bodies. Anybody have a soft spot for a color that you can't find a used bass in? I wasn't sure if I would dig the exact shade of Daphne Blue for my P-bass, but I absolutely love it. It's a gorgeous, eye-catching bass and everyone that sees it remarks on how beautiful it is. For a P-bass, I'm assuming blue was a more common color back in the 50's and 60's, but not so much today. I'm looking for deals to do a Frankenstein Jazz (I know I know...) so you can imagine a Daphne Blue or Sonic Blue jazz isn't exactly a common shade to come across. I feel like blue has really won my heart when it comes to basses...I'd even love a blue Rickenbacker.


So how about you dudes and dudettes? Doesn't have to be a solid color, but the more unique the better!! Here's my Daphne:

Well, it's not all that uncommon, but I couldn't find one from my fav bass company in Burgundy Mist with a matching headstock, so I made my own.

Sounds like a wine to me, so I'd say it classifies as uncommon

Any pics of it?

Sure, I'll post one as soon as photobucket comes back from a maintenance break.

I think it's called burgundy mist. This is my bass which is featured on the Wikipedia page for Fender Performer.

I like basses the color of Easter eggs.

Burnt. I mean literally burnt.

Does trans-blonde count?

Shell Pink
Love that Sage Green Metallic above...
That Tangerine Pearl (I think) that EBMM had....

I don't know why because I've actually never seen one in person but I really like the Antigua color scheme, especially with a maple fingerboard.

Bass boat (big flakes) metal flake orange.
I'm doing a Billy Bo build that has stalled due to weather and inadequate indoor space to finish it.

Hey, I once owned a pink '57 Cadillac.
Yeah, I was young and sold it.
Now, I'd be lucky to find another for three times the price.

That sure is a sweet p, plucky! Burgundy mist and tort are a favorite combination for me... (Matsumoko Squire medium-scale)

Two thoughts. Mocha. I am a big fan of those 1970s Fender basses in an aged Mocha finish. Also I like Charcoal Metallic Frost.

I could never pick from among transparent colors, but for paint, definitely Fender's CandyCola. ♡♡♡
