Show Me Your Orange Basses

[St Drogo]

Looking at that Lakland, it hit me what a great idea that oval shaped bridge was, at least from a marketing standpoint. It's instantly recognisable between the oceans and oceans of fenderalikes. It's like a second logo. Just like ashdown's VU-meters.

I'm not one for marketing, but that was a brilliant move.

Here's my honeyburst Modulus Q6!

I love that birdseye/quilt transition on that top.

 

[MarTONEbass]

Thank you! I thought it was quite unique too. If you look closely, you can see spalt lines down in the birds eye, too!

I think it is a very smart move too. With anything I design for Lakland, I try to emphasize the oval bridge.

Oh you design for Lakland? I missed that. I thought it was awfully nice for Lakland to put your custom color requests on their website as a standard option, and even name it after you

 

[MarkusBass]

Yeah...I design for Lakland (Graphic and Web). I was really honored! Strange to hear someone say they're new bass was Markus Orange. Really cool of Dan...really great guys over there!

So you are the one to blame for that (the oval bridge makes for a very disjointed look to me).

Here's my Ibanez ATK 305; the color is "amber", but is close to orange

No...I am a graphic designer....I don't design the basses. That bridge came way before me...and I personally LOVE it! I respectfully disagree...I liked it the first time I saw it.

I don't actually own this instrument. This more like a wish/request.

I like the Bassfish by Goldfish Guitars

BUT I want them to release their Bassfish in the finish of Clownfish Orange, which they only seem to provide with their electric guitars.

I believe it was MarkusBass that had the orange Lakland.

That's the one. Gotta say you have a great bass there, Markus.

I don't have an orange bass, but I am partial to the color. Check this thread. Loads of pics to drool over. http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=551760&highlight=orange+basses

Enjoy,

Thanks for the link, Jack. I've been reading through and and there's a bunch of beautiful basses in there.

That Ibanez project was cool.
