    So I am refinishing my HB400 and so far I have (nearly) sanded it down to bare wood. I was hoping that I would find some decent wood below, but there is a joint that I don't really like (it's a shame because the back of the body is actually quite nice!) so I am looking for ideas on a colour for the refin.

    I have a crush on white/cream basses, but I am not convinced that this would look good in white. I am currently thinking of orange, or some other "stand out" colour, as I will (hopefully) be using this for a few songs with a Hip Hop Band.

    The colour will be for the body and headstock, with silver hardware (not planning on spending too much cash on this as it will only be used for a couple of songs in low B).

    What are your ideas????

    Not much into stripes, but thanks for the input.

    No one else has any ideas??
