Favorite (not so common) Body Color?

The best I've owned is my Cherryburst 1988 L-2000. Such beauty... :)

I have never seen this color before buying the bass, so I can't say if it's uncommon or not. I only ever see tobacco, 3TS, solid black and natural body basses.

I love it!
 
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.

Love the Antigua finish. That first image makes me firm. I'll take one in fretless rosewood please. The original finishes had a more green tint. The new ones overemphasize the yellow imho.

I really wanted a shell pink P bass and they are not that easy to find without paying big $$$ for one from the custom shop, so I painted and built one myself. The first pic is as I originally built it. The second shows a couple of later modifications.

Congrats! That's a beauty. Looks much better with the MOTS Pg. and the blocks. The white makes the pink standout. That was certainly one case where tort fails. It made the pink look drab. Uh oh, here come the torches and pitchforks.
