Well, 2 of 3 basses are natural, so I’m covered there. As for the black bass, do I need to swap nail polishes mid-jam?

Where do you get tort nail polish?

@catcauphonic usually rocks some cool nails. Sometimes they look a little rough in his totally amateur phone pics (although that bass player could be a photographer with a phone). But usually they're pretty noyce. I wonder if he's ever matched the grey Spectorbird.

Showed my wife. Said she’d be glad to break out the black polish for me.

So I guess keeping good time doesn't matter anymore.

My fingernails only match my 'natural' finish bass....

Definitely doing black nail varnish next gig. I knew there could be more black... and maybe more skulls as well...

Mmmmmm, skulls...

First posting of sunburst fingernails wins the internet.

I wanna see some tort!

Not my nails, but the tips of my fingers sometimes match the black color of the neck of the bass I sometimes play - well, it should be an absolutely exact match as that's where the paint's coming from.

No painted nails here, but my finger are twisted and bent. So I guess I need to over adjust my truss rods so the necks match.

I guess y'all have forgotten about glam bands. Maybe hair bands too.

I also suppose tort or sunburst Chucks aren't good enough anymore.

Next to the striped paint.

Used the last of the navy sparkle nail varnish and now sporting purple, and nails too trashed ATM to record. A couple from the Varnish Mob:

Being honest, I’n not real big on colored nail polish, but that is a KILLER shade of red on the bass.

that I missed!
That red on Bass is killer!!

I don't know if fingernail polish is gonna cut it for "badass bassist"............but wearing Rambo enhancement chest plastic and holding a bass instead of a rifle might do the trick.

Or, you could go Rock a Billy bassist with a tux and spank that dog house!

Better get out the black nail polish...
