Is your friend...

Well, if it sounded fantastic, I would own one and play it. But nothing short of stunning tone would do the trick for me, personally. I'm happy people love what I don't, so I'm not disparaging anyone's likes. I'm weird--I can't stand 99.9% of 3 Tone Sunbursts with tort.

 

[dagrev]

Agreed. And I’d love a nice greenburst.

Ooooooh. Me too. Count me in there.

Like it, my hubby has a Firebird in the same color.

I really like it on the 335:

I’d go Frost Blue

Or Azure Blue (replaced Frost blue in the 73/early 74 Holden paint charts)

Maybe Frost for a NR, Azure for a car.

The Frost Blue is not for me.

I definitely prefer the Azure Blue.

Great for when the band is forward deployed, but otherwise, no thanks.
That said, if someone gave me an olive green 1964 Gibson Thunderbird, I wouldn't refuse it. If they gave me an olive green modern bird, I'd still take it - and paint or trade it. But most people have a color they feel that way about.

You all know my opinion already.

OK, I really like it on that guitar. And it has TV Jones pickups or maybe something that looks like them. It thinks it is a Gretsch.

That colour would also look good on a Gretsch bass.

To me it looks like it's somewhere between Coach Green and Pullman Green.

New bass day:

A luthier friend assembled this to himself and sold it eventually to me today. G&L L2000 Tribute body, a neck built by him, Wal -style 8-coil pickups (built by him) and JTEX Distiller filter preamp. 0/5/10 db Q-switches to both low pass filters and a pickup selector switch.
Sounds and plays great and released me from the Wal g.a.s.

 

[MCF]

In my useless opinion, the green is down right unpleasant. But we all like different

I definitely prefer the Azure Blue.

The Frost though is closer to an original BaCH color.

Ancient Wendy’s commercial old woman voice: Where’s the bass?

Couldn't find a Gretsch hollow body bass in that colour!

So sad! (Too bad you can’t see my smirk.)

Recorded this short clip. The harmonics were recorded with using the neck and bridge pickup separately and the "normal" parts with both pickups on but with one pickup filtered.

Cool! Sounds like part of a psychedelic spaghetti western soundtrack.
