Shell Pink vs. Dakota Red vs. Burgandy Mist

[kraken_kr]

One vote for shell pink if you have chrome hardwares!

Dakota red works with a maple board, the others not so much. Vintera P comes to mind. GL

To me, changing the body is going to result in the bass changing its sound to some degree or even the way it plays. Why not just refin?

I thought about it. A professional refin would cost me at least $500. I could get a Warmoth body in any color for less than $500 and sell the MIA black body for like $350.

Anyways, I'm leaning toward Dakota Red...

I had a Burgundy Mist bass once and it was beautiful. I was gonna get pink, but I was relayed a story from someone I would call extremely in-the-know, of how pink basses often come back for a color change re-paint....

Shell pink is my vote. Love that color

Burgundy purple mist is a tricky color- it doesn’t look good on all body shapes for some reason, it’s drop dead gorgeous on a Stratocaster w/ rosewood fretboard-

 

[Doc Arcade]

I may be biased, but I do think the shell pink with maple board looks really cool! Not a jazz, but gives you an idea of the color combo!

David Certain bass in shell pink.
Not my bass, unfortunately.

 

[Jeremy Crockett]

Another vote for Burgundy Mist.

Pink and black...classic 50's two-tone vibe.

Burgundy Mist. Haven't seen any with a maple board, but I'd probably like it that way too. Classic finish, I love it especially with a matching headstock.

You color-centric guys absolutely kill me!

I love all 3 but went red. Burgundy Mist and maple would be nice too but much as I love Shell Pink I couldn't do it. A had a Flea right when they came out but after seeing 100,000,000 of them it wore off and I sold it. It was like ice cream as a treat at first but when you eat it 3 times a day, 24/7 it looses some of the treat aspect. Maybe with maple I'd feel differently.

Shell pink w/maple gives a definite 'light' vibe (w/ mint or pearl pg), moreso than the red or burgundy. That 'vibe' will ask you to play it differently than you would play a 'dark' instrument. Sounds like your other basses are 'dark'... seek the light.

She’ll Pink is the coolest , Burgundy Mist will sound the best , and Dakota Red should just be called Plain Ol’ Red .

 

[mrperkolator]

Color is subjective. Pick your favorite. Until warmoth starts offering the color "carrots." When this happens, this is the only choice.

This is the way.

 

[Dave Leighton]

This is the way.

Mando?

Would be so hard to decide among burgundy mist and shell pink, both are gorgeous.
Think I´d stick with burgundy.

This is a Warmoth body with their Shell Pink finish and bound/blocked maple neck.

I love the tone and the feel of my 2018 Fender American Professional Jazz (black, maple fingerboard). I am not in love with its black color. So, I plan to get a Warmoth body in a different color. My other basses are in Arctic White and Butter Scotch Blonde. My Strats are in 3T SB, Oly White and Fiesta Red. So, I'd love to have a different color in my collection. I love Shell Pink, Dakota Red and Burgandy Mist, but I've never seen a maple fingerboard Jazz bass in one of those colors in person. What do you think? If you have a maple fingerboard bass in one of those colors, please post a pic. Cheers.

I wish there was a button to vote for every color in the visible spectrum except shell pink.
