A friend owned a shell pink ESP fiver. Pink body, neck, and headstock. It was PINK. I’d borrow it from time to time and the ladies loved it. When I played my clear coated ash body jazz I didn’t exist, but the pink fiver drew them like flies. Never tried to ferret out any deeper meaning (if any) for reaction to different bass colors but the pink one drew the ladies and the ash one didn't.
A lot of themExactly!!! Chicks dig the look and then actually listen to the bass for a change.
I was taken at the time so I had to mind my manners, but just in case, I keep that info filed.Not that's an interesting take on pink basses I never considered. Of my basses, women comment the most on my baby blue jazz bass. Although playing the music we do, lots like black. I'm not for nor against any color instrument really, never considered pink before but now I'm thinking of a shell pink with matching headstock. I posted a G&L earlier in that color and now I seem to like it more LOL
Man enough? Yes. But far too self-conscious, I'm afraid...Forget instruments, are you man enough for this?

This bunch was a little too early for that backline…Man enough? Yes. But far too self-conscious, I'm afraid...
No. Wasn't mind-shattering. Required no deep reflection or introspection. Male gender no influence. Just don't like pink, period. Easy question. Easy answer....
Would you play a Pink Bass ?...
