I just played in the orchestra for the Beach Boys in Louisville and Indianapolis and the bass player (super nice guy, btw) had a Flea roadworn Jazz. Cool bass!

I mean no offense but It's a big no no for me.
Not because of pink but the hue commonly used at shell pink reminds me of most used bathroom, female bathroom tiles.

Exactly the same reaction for me! growing up many decades ago I saw the pink tiles, with black border tiles, far too often in kitchens and bathrooms. It turned me off of pink.

I saw the same thing here in Oregon at the state fair. It was a few years back though. It was the first thing I noticed, he’s playing a Flea bass. Lol

Harley Benton have a shell pink jazz bass, with matching headstock !, for a cheap price.

There are actually three that are labeled Shell Pink, although two of them look more like the salmon color in these photos: a J bass, a PJ, and a Mustang-style short scale.

Well the rug it's laying on looks awesome.

It really ties the room together.

You would be driving a Maserati to a gig right now, with a leggy blonde in the right front seat, talking to your stock broker on your phone about what to do with the enormous profits you made in the market this year - all the money from the concert tickets you sold and some wise choices in investments really paid off, and in only a couple of years.

But alas, you're headed home for ramen noodles. In a 30 year old Volvo with 3 missing hubcaps. Which needs a valve job - you're putting out quite a cloud with that thing.

In sax circles, the joke is that a saxophonist is the one who takes a $5000 instrument in a $500 car to a $50 gig.

Not sure if this counts - they call it White Blonde, but it has a pinkish tint to it for sure. My daughter said it looks like raw chicken breast. Squier CV50's P Bass with CV70's P Bass neck.

I have a CV 70s (MIC) Squier P bass. Best neck EVER! Nice combo!

Here's mine with the original neck

Ok, tough guys - who's got a matching amp?

My friend has on a guitar amp in pink!

A Converted Bronco bass with 60's position rear pickup.

Originally Bronco Black and refinished to a Shell Pink with
matching head stock.

Concentric Knobs.

Pink Fret Markers.

Unknown 3d manufacturer of the pickguard. We been looking for the manufacturer with no success.

My guitarist and I own Hello Kittys !
We get more disbelieve from the guitar & bass snobs. And also more attention from the ladies in local Bay Area Blues clubs too.

As a Bay Area resident you are officially a BAD ASS.

I would LOVE to own a pink Peavey 1980's bass like @Bleecker owns.

You have the ladies attention cause they think, “that’s cute”
which is not a win by any definition LOL
