No love for the color red?

Are you kidding me?? The limited edition red geddy lee signature must be one of the finest basses I've seen!

So, I am in the market for a new four string bass and it appears red is becoming an endangered color. No American Fender Professional Series and no Music Man Sterlings or Stingrays come in red. What's up? Why do the guitars always have more color choices?

Do most bassists get sunburst instruments (a choice that is offered by pretty much all manufacturers)? Am I in the minority for what bassists want?
Red is hot!!

My dream "signature" bass would be a red p-bass with a red pickguard. Not tort red, not pearloid red, but solid red (with a black edge). I don't think I have ever seen that, and my favorite color is red so that would work out perfectly for me haha
