Lefty players - non-traditional lefty color choice

[Rodent]

We all know that righty bassists have an unending assortment of 'standard' color offerings to choose from, and that most lefty basses are sadly limited to a standard color selection of black, white, and Sunburst.

If you had the opportunity to choose a color that is not a traditional color scheme for lefty basses, and that color was a choice between these three, what would it be?

i prefer trans blue myself but if i were a luthier i'd more likely offer honeyburst. or seafoam green, my all-time favorite color for electric instruments. although black basses are awesome too.

i voted honeyburst but i second the comment about seafoam green. really any green would do.

i've seen plenty of blue cheapo lefty basses and they've left me cold.

rant: i'm not sure why more pseudo-custom basses [meaning warmoth creations and whatnot] allow right handed people to have a bass that glows in the dark and makes coffee but the lefty basses are "white, black, sunburst or natural only kthx"

is left handed paint really that much more expensive?

well I for one care, and it's part of the allowable market research that builders are allowed to conduct in the public forums.

if you have nothing constructive to contribute, why bother posting?

to all the leftys who have voted to so far (and those yet to post) - THANKS YOU FOR YOUR THOUGHTS!!!

all the best,

While that may be true, in this case Rodent builds lefty basses for some of us, making his questions very non-ridiculous.

I voted blue.

I've bought a lefty bass that I did not need just because it was in a non-standard color. I would love a sonic blue Jazz with white 'guard.

 

[jordie65]

honey, you have my vote!

 

[Baker69]

With Fender anyway I'd be happy just to get a Left Hand Jazz Bass in WHITE!!!

Sounds silly I know, to limit the choice for us Lefties to Sunburst or Black is ridiculous and insulting.

 

[lefthandedmutha]

Count me in as assimilated into the black, white, sunburst and that's all you need category.
But, if I had to choose from the above colors.
Gotta be the blue.

I find most guitars/basses that are black with a white pickguard to be very ugly. Not all, primarily Fender style instruments. Jetglo Rickenbackers are sexy.

Transparent Blue gets my vote but the honey was a close 2nd!

Definetly the Blue, but all the colours were awesome!!!!

for tooooooo long do us lefties get crappy colours!!!

 

[velalv]

I would take even white. But I really like a nice transparent blue. Of the non standard ones might I also recommend Candy Apple Red. I am surprised more have not said that.

 

[bhunt1]

Rod builds awesome basses for us lefties - and I vote honey burst!

Not hung up on color. Appreciate choices

Not hung up on color. Appreciate choices

Yeah... what he said. And, for the record; much as I like blue, transparent of any color ain't really my thing. Neither is any kind of (eeww) red. Hard to go wrong with 3 tone burst on anything, though...

The only thing I can't stand is gold hardware.
Even then, I dig raw brass
