Favorite (not so common) Body Color?

[twc1313]

I don't have one, but I vote for Antigua. It always looked like a ghost to me, or baby sh**. Either works for me!

Mustang red with the competition body stripe. That would look so cool on a P bass.

I know, fiesta red is not so uncommon, bun, but I really like it and recently I had the chance to buy a Squier precision to match may Jazz,
which by the way is turning 50 next July. Don't you think they make a nice couple?
Obviously I couldn't afford to buy a 1966 fender precision. Well,what can you do?...
I am really happy with my Squier Classic Vibe though...
Here you can see the Squier with a tortoise pickguard and after I changed it with a white pickguard to match the Jazz.

I bought one of those Squier classic vibes in fiesta red at Guitar center on sale for $200, Great bass!

I bought an MIM fretless Jazz bass from a guy a few years ago on Craigslist. This is a Fender color called Teal Green Metallic. It was Fender's color #45 on old color charts. #45 has since been removed on Fender's new charts. Its almost a turquoise color and the metallic finish is really nice. I've never seen any other Fenders in this color.

I can't abide solid shades:

this isn't mine, but I have a similar one
I am a firm believer that the less finish an instrument has, the more resonant it can be.

"sixties swimming pool blue"... Some call it aqua, but thats not quite it. Greener than sonic blue, bluer than seafoam, not as dark as turquoise, but lots of saturation. In the right light, a mint green almost catches the vibe, except its far too green... I'm pretty sure there was a Dupont car color for it, but the name escapes me at the moment...

Aged, slightly yellowed Sherwood Green is oh so beautiful. See John Frusciante's Jaguar here:

I'm really liking Fiesta / Coral Red ,
Sonic/ Diamond Blue
Mint Green and Powder Blue.

 

[oldrookie]

Only one this color in the world. Mixed up from some dye and red Mixol before spraying. Single color burst.

Great playing p-bass too.

Not my bass/pic>

Not all that common. Stripped Fender. I think it's my favourite finish/non finish. I don't own one, but I really like it.

 

[MobileHolmes]

Probably fiesta red, or maybe some kind of really over the top metal flake

@mikewalker - Are you thinking of Daphne Blue?

 

[AngelCrusher]

I saw a glitter red squier guitar that looked absolutely awesome. Maybe one of the coolest paint jobs I have seen and it was on a $200 guitar.

You can probably find one at your local GC.

Big fan of the 60's Fender colors. Currently have a Valenti being built with Shoreline Gold finish

Any future instruments will be finished in one of these GROOVY colors.

This would be Daphne!? As PluckyTheBassist proposed...

I Got to vote sparkle.

@mikewalker - Are you thinking of Daphne Blue?

Yes, Daphne Blue for the WIN! I like it best with a very slightly yellowed clearcoat...
