Hmmmm... What color this time?

[ThaLowEndTheory]

Just about got all the parts together for the next one. Picked up a Bhef jazz body from one of the guys here, and a Fender jazz bass neck from one of the guys from Reranch. I tinted the neck and finished it in tru oil as usual. The body came in today, so I did a quick dry fit and tested her out. NICE! Now all I'm missing is a antiquity II bridge pickup, a bridge plate, knobs, and choosing a color. So you know what that means. Suggestions!

At first I wasn't in love with the grain pattern so I was thinking white pearl would be cool. Now that I have it in hand, it looks better in person. So covering the grain would be difficult for me. I already have a trans pink jazz, a mary kay jazz, a trans sonic strat, a sunburst jazz, and I've already let go of a trans surf jazz, and a trans coral strat. Hmmmm What to do next?

So far on the list of options I have trans red, a trans orange, trans black, and I'm even considering the dreaded cherry blossom burst. Thoughts?

From the list of choices, I would certainly go with trans orange.

Is the control plate jeweled (engine turned)? Or is it just smudgy with fingerprints?

smudgy

Of your choices I also say trans orange. Im sure it's not everyone's cup-o-tea, but have you considered a deep purple trans? I think it could look pretty interesting.... Whatever you choose I hope everything comes out well!

I would let it as it is, it would be a great amp tester. And for God's sake, sell your guitars man and stop playing that fool instrument!

 

[JimmyM]

^ This. If it had to be one of the choices above, trans black. If not, I would just oil it up and leave it as is. Wood is gorgeous!

How about trans white with a mint pick guard?

 

[Alex1984]

Isn't trans white pretty much like a Mary Kay? Will the trans black be a burst?

Yea, already got that one covered. The black probably would have a burst edge. Now that I think about it, I refin'd my Squier pro tone in trans black with a burst. Thoough I plan to refinish again back to stock black someday. I also have a natural finished ash jazz as well. My name is Chris, and I am a bass hoarder.

Second vote goes to trans orange. Looooove me some trans orange P's. J can't be bad either.

Hells yes.

 

[ThudThudThud]

I honestly like that natural colour. With the darker neck it has a very cool vibe.
Squirt it with clear....

 

[Bassdirty]

I already have a trans pink jazz, a mary kay jazz, a trans sonic strat, a sunburst jazz, and I've already let go of a trans surf jazz, and a trans coral strat. Hmmmm What to do next?

No pics = no trans pink jazz, mary kay jazz, trans sonic strat, sunburst jazz, trans surf jazz, or trans coral strat.

 

[Rumblefisher]

That one is yellin' firemist gold to me...

 

[MarkusBass]

Hells yes.

[pie_man_25]

I would say just oil 'er up and let 'er rip!

however, given that there's a list, I'm thinking trans black or orange, I don't know what "cherry blossom burst" looks like.
