I stand corrected.. I think it was this one I had seen. P Bass

Sorry for the non Lakie content
Please don't stone me to death....

That would be the most logical solution. I just don't like having two TTSB/RW/ and tort basses.
Also, my two JOs look near identical when the guards are on. Who doesn't like a little variety?

here's Ian's:

Evan, surely there's some bored neighborhoods kids who could get a lot of joy out of a couple cans of spraypaint and your bass... I say go for it and see what happens

 

[Musicman81]

hey, what about Candy Apple Orange Juice ?

That actually sounds really neat...

I don't feel that color too much. I don't know why.

Might be the way to go! I've heard a quality refinish costs a pretty penny, maybe $500 +.

 

[Musicman81]

Yeah, I think it's cool, but I don't think I could ever paint one of mine that color. Color choices are so tough to make!

 

[JEDI BASS]

Pink!

 

[E-Mac]

ha... no pink. I did get a quote for the refin, setup and pickguard and it's under 500. Just thinking about what to do. Any other unique or cool retro finishes out there?

Why not slap some ChiSonics on it?!

 

[MarkusBass]

I like it actually! The color by itself is kinda strange, but on the bass, I like it.

I want the advice of the LOG on this one. First, here's a pic of my Fretless US JO:

As some of you could guess, I get the Jaco-clone comment at almost every gig. It gets bothersome, because a) I'm no Jaco and b) I am heavily influenced by more than just Jaco. Who knows if it's even cost me a few gigs? Sooooo, I want to get my fretless refinished. After seeing Ian's (artiseasy) 70's J in Antigua Burst, I've wanted a bass like that. Here is the mockup that Markus did for me (thanks, Markus!):

Chances are I'd also have my pickup cover on it as well... what do you all think? I'm definitely getting it refinished and I'm feeling this. Before this, I was thinking Oly White. Thoughts? Suggestions?

 

[GregC]

I don't know about unique, but surf green (darker than seafoam) does it for me. Then there's the ultra-rare Fender finish Maui Blue.

[BigBeatNut]

I really love the Antigua

Personally (don't expect you to agree) I thought the antigua was a bad idea first time around and I still don't like it. Can't imagine a more wrong colour for any musical instrument.

Sorry

But ... different stokes for different folks

I don't know about that. I'll have a fretless with humbucking chis in a few months. I like my stock fralins. If I change the pickups, it will be to dark stars.

So, I'm thinking either the antigua, oly white or vintage white:

Oh yeah...forgot How about chocolate brown metallic?

It looks good with the maple board.. hmm

 

[GregC]

Vintage white would be killer, I love that yellowed look. Those buttercream Stingrays make me drool.

 

[E-Mac]

thanks for everyone's help.. I'm going to think on it for a week or so
