Interesting, unusual finishes...

[Iridescentone]

Once in a while an unusual finish grabs us, from the sublime to the ridiculous. While there's no accounting for taste, this Bacchus is my choice for something "fresh" that I haven't seen before. Not in the market for a new bass, but if I was......

Post your entries, tame or zany, let's see 'em!

My first hydro-dip.

 

[Neon Blues]

Reminds me of this Warmoth that's been for sale for ages locally.

I also dig this one from ESP LTD:

Gold leaf...

No one tops Bacchus/Momose when it comes to different finishes.

I like my bass ukes to look different from each other since they're all the exact same model, a 21" Hadean violin/ Hofner Chinese knockoff. Pat Wilkins did the teal with a speckle design his wife came up with. I recently found a very veined marble look vinyl adhesive, but I'm not ready to go that exotic.

I feel like I have synesthesia, and that bass sounds/tastes like lime.

I did a reverse red burst with rattle cans.

REALLY hard to get it to show in pics, but my G&L ASAT has the amazing Andromeda finish. All those little flecks are different rainbow colors depending how the light hits it. Cosmic!

Great finish.
I've always wondered why Fender didn't use it for the Meteora bass instead of Grey Burst and 3-Color Sunburst, both of which show a complete lack of imagination.

The holoflash I made.

Spector Holoflash

I always loved the sandblasted ash basses from Fender.

Never pulled the trigger on one though.

 

[Matt Liebenau]

Serape blanket finish.



The different colors come out much better in person than on camera.

Yea this finish is awesome. It's called holoflake. Similar to holoflash but in powder format.
Now you managed to put together two things I'm after: An ASAT and holoflake. I prefer it with smaller sized flakes tough but this is insanely nice.

Is the guy asking just way too much for it lol? Based off the figuring in the baord and body i assume he kinda went all out on it but he must have known resale wouldn't have been there lol.
