Green Basses

#4
So if you mean basses that contribute less to global warming, then I think the cardboard box basses or perhaps an older washtub bass would have the least embedded energy.

I was thinking about building a J style bass and painting it British Racing Green with a cream/ivory colored pickguard. That would be a nice green bass, though it doesn't yet exist. I'll keep you posted.

Green is a bad color for me. It's too hard to find clothes that don't clash with it. The closest I'll ever have to a green bass is seafoam green, and even that gets difficult to find clothes colors that don't clash.

Do you really bother with finding matching clothes to the colour of your bass? I guess it all depends on what type of shows you play...

I've got a pretty neutral coloured bass so it's not really an issue for me.

No, I don't bother matching my clothes, and that's where the problem came in. I brought my seafoam green bass to a gig once when I was wearing a light blue shirt, and the colors were just slightly different enough to where it was a tremendous clash. Fortunately, it's seafoam, so as far as greens go, it's fairly neutral and there's only a couple colors I have to watch out for. With a regular green bass, you're pretty much limited to black and white, maybe a couple pastel shades. I'm with you...I go for neutral colors on basses now.
