Taking my black with mint jazz to a new color

Mint guard will be retained, no tort

Nah, warm colors aren't my favorite

Olympic White is my fave color to pair with mint green. Here’s an old build I put together like 5 years ago for reference:

Black is my preference but how about an olive green ??

I think white looks nice and classy on a Jazz Bass.

A royal blue might be nice as well. Dark green (like British Racing Green) could also be interesting.

I’ve been using custom car colors for awhile now. The choices are pretty endless if you’re looking for something besides the standard Fender colors. They can be a bit pricey compared to what you find in big box stores, but if you buy primer/color/clear at once, the shipping fee is more cost effective.

I’ve bought from this site with good results: Exact Match Car Paint Made Easy | AutomotiveTouchup

My next refin is eitheer going to be a metallic tangarine, or more than likeley a Black Cherry.

What fretboard will the bass have?

You know an astute and seasoned TB member should think of such things and put that in post #1…
Doh

This is a dark rosewood

 

[ghostdog93]

I voted white or purple, depending on the fretboard wood.

Actually, white or purple will look good with either a dark or light board.

[Lammchop93]

British racing green

 

[Bent77]

Wife and daughters also voted, looks like its between White, Bahama Blue metallic and Purple.
Burgandy mist and BRG got the veto

Gold but not shoreline gold.

Lightly torch it in selected places.
Then coat it with a translucent red/orange finish.
