I'm pretty sure that's Carrot Orange actually
Yep, you're right. One shade lighter & it would be "Oompa-Loompa Orange".
Oh, wait..... NOW I see what you did there. Well, whenever he retires he'll be STUNG.
OK, enough of my whacked-out comments.
After playing on this (between my smart-alek comments) for a while, it seems diming one pickup and leavng the other off sounds better. Of course, that's thru my little Carvin MB10 amp. We'll see how it does at the Christmas party. And...... also seems the neck pickup has more "zing" and the bridge pickup more "boom". Go figure. I've never played an Ignition bass, so I don't know their sound characteristics.

I'll name it Denver, because it's an orange bronco.
Well, it turned out the pickups just needed to be raised. I was in a hurry to play, ya know! And I don't drink coffee any more........ or any less, for that matter. 10 cups is my limit, lol.Betcha a cup of coffee you crossed the wires somewhere.
I tried Rust-Oleum "Hammered Metal" spraypaint in black, but it looked like the surface of the moon...... the moon' backside, that is. Ouch.diggin' the pickguard finish on the orange bass
A little acetone and some scrubbing action, and the flat black went on. I wish the stripes were flat like that, too....Hmmmm.......
I originally painted the headstock Orange to match, but it just didn't do it for me. If it were a rosewood neck maybe it woulda popped- I dunno.
My granddaughter is calling her yet-to-be-born sibling her "Little Squishy". Now I know where that came from. I had to come here to TB to learn something both valuable and useful. Thank you, Two Fingers.
