How to be a badass bassist...

What about Tony?

@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. :D
As of this morning they match my strap at least :woot: Can't say I've ever had trans matte black as a nail color, but you're giving me ideas! These are stickers with bling on them. They come in all kinds of patterns >

Normally, the band will pick an accent color to go with mostly black ... where everyone wears as much as they want of it. Early Dec gig was red, so they were pretty beat up by this morning.
I usually use a black and white speckled topper called 'graffiti' that jazzes up any flat color, plus a clear hard top coat for protection and shine :cool:

For instance on last months tri colored nails ... Graffiti topped gold, silver, and like a burnt orange >
