What are “drier sheets” ?

or dryer sheets if you prefer.

 

[GBassNorth]

Firemist Charcoal Metallic (They even have that displayed on a NR body)
Ocean Turquoise

Firemist Charcoal Metallic is on my short list…


Ocean Turquoise is cool too


And not far off my number one choice so far…

 

[GBassNorth]

V says "Bitchin' Blue Candy"

That’s a screaming hot color…

and not too far off the color of my Porsche.

I use 99.5% isopropyl alcohol when I bring home a bass or do repairs on basses for our local high school.

Doesn't that strip the finish of the basses? I use it to remove the glue from price stickers when I buy something.

 

[GBassNorth]

Might sound crazy but I think a metallic silver bird with a black pickguard and white etching would pop

They have a few choices in that color range. Might go well with my gold Tbird.

I'm digging the charcoal metallic. Is it metallic flake ?

Would look amazing under colored stage lighting

Ok, have never seen them. But we don’t have a dryer

I am way behind. Sometimes, life gets busy...

So, fill in as needed:
Ahem

Would you like some bad advice?
Don't make me post the melon picture...
I know her...


but the reason today for posting. Look what I saw in my local L&M today! C$99 for the head and C$99 for the cab!

That’s like US$0.99?

Ok some fun for the day, help me spend my money!

I’m totally undecided what color or finish to put on my next build. Here’s the finishing company I want to try out, they have tons of great finishes shown on their website…
Gallery - GuitarPaintGuys - Check out some of our work!

Which finish would you choose?

Design parameters:
Most likely a NR Fenderbird dual pickup build.
Neck will most likely be vintage stained maple with a maple fretboard, black blocks, black binding.
Hardware will be chrome or nickel
Pickguard will be parchment (not white)
I already have black, white, gold, brown and pink Tbirds - so extra points for picking something other than those colors.

Orange Cream

Kandy Cobalt Blue

Kandy Purple

Black Cherry Pearl

Now you see my problem, so many great choices, hard to pick just one. That black cherry pearl is on the top of the list as well. I have a P bass I’m building that would look fantastic in that color.

I'm going crazy looking at all those options! Transparent green over curly maple, with ivory binding has always been a personal interest to me.

So many great options just that that site. There was a Beautiful metallic Orange like one of V's that's fantastic. But I like this and think the length of a Thunderbird would make this finish look even better. Doesn't look good expanded to fit here. I don't claim to have taste. I just like what I like.

But you have the Spector that looks a little like this.

Sorry to be stuck on this . And one more thing.. the Epiphone Firebird has Grover minis and CTS pots. Nice touches.

There's soooo many rad options, i wouldn't even know where to start.

I know. I got lost and disoriented about the time I noticed the slobber dripping from my chin.

wow
Always had a thing for Peavey gear, but never tried any on bass.
Did ya try it ?

 

[dagrev]

That’s the problem I’m having! Too many great options.

I see your dilemma. You would make yourself and everyone here really happy if you built about 10-15 (for starters) with various finishes. Problem solved. Just a thought.
