The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

[halfwound121]

My 3 Fenders: These are my 3 long-scale Fenders. On the left is a Vintera P bass build with a Warmoth slim-profile J neck. I can't seem to mate with a 34" scale neck with a wide nut. Lollar pickup, Fender vintage tuners, and Albridge bridge. In the middle is my American Professional J, basically stock except for Fralin pickups which came on it. I've heard the stock pickups are great so I don't know why the original owner swapped them out. The Fralins are also great, though. On the right is my Geddy Lee build, MIM Geddy body with signature bridge, Kent Armstrong pickups, Fender American Special Jazz neck with Hipshot tuners.

4) Squier Classic Vibe Bass VI
Got it a few days ago! Love this thing! Will change the strings to La Bella 26-95 rounds, also thinking about buying a brown tortoise pickguard...

Squier did a nice job releasing these - apparently their biggest seller of late. I like the white pg - but it's your call.

Fender did this finish in the '90s and more recently Sadowsky did a similar colour/finish on their Metro line - ocean spray mist?

It depends on the angle lol but official name is Mystic Surf Green. But it's really an odd color. Kind of like a fish or something because it's green but then again from x angle it's got some blue, and x angle it's chrome. From stock photos I didn't expect it to be so interesting so it was a great bonus when I had it in hand.

But what if the bassist *is* the vocalist?!?!?!

Trick question- nobody flirts with the bassists.

Yah, attempting to name certain colours is just that... an attempt.

My '85 Cannondale (modded into a single-speed) came in a few different colours - this one called "Sea Sprite Green"

The '85 Fender Performer came in 5 colours, this one called "Candy Green"

Using a Campy Nuovo Record as a tensioner, nice….

That's a take on the iconic Bianchi color called "celeste."

Excellent! Only another old-school cyclist would pick-up on that! Yep, 1972 Italian hardware locked into position - works great.
