NBD: OMG, it's pink.

I dig it. Nice score.

Well, finally got the tort pickguard on.
Awful pics but it's the best I could manage under trying circumstances.

Now we’re talking!...man, that’s beautiful!
It went from “3rd grade My Little Pony pink” to “Yeah I got a pink bass, is that a f**kin’ problem?! kind of pink”...

I think a black pickguard would make the pink pop like nobody's business - there's not enough contrast from the white, but black.....

Pinky poodle bop!

if there weren't a lot of them painted that color, it may become a vintage collectors bass in the future. if there were a lot in that color, i'd paint it. i do like the rosewood neck. i wonder if they make those necks for a p.

Slightly better group.

I went out today, ostensibly to check out a MusicMan Cutlass bass, in Diamond Blue, with maple fretboard.
But with a whole day at my disposal and visting a shop run by a friend, I had to check out a few alternatives.
My 2 main basses at the moment are EBMM Stingrays. A classic and a special.
So the Cutlass seemed a very nice alternative to the Rays.
I also played a mapleglo Rickenbacker 4003s, which despite it's rediculous hardware (bridge & string cover-rest),
felt very nice to play and was a nicely built bass. But I didn't like the sound of the pickups at all, thick, harsh and
a little crude.
It was indeed shell pink, with an off white (mint?) scratchplate, being a Fender Limited Edition American Pro Jazz Bass...

Not sure what color it qualifies for but my BC Rich ST bass is as close to pink as I'll probably ever get!
