I have one, if you're serious I *might* consider selling it, but it won't be cheap.
Well, as long as you are soliciting bad ideas...

I *might* be serious, too. That remains to be determined. I'll have to see what it looks like with a white pickguard first. White on Burgundy Mist may or may not be acceptable. Chrome goes well with everything.

The metal mesh one is pretty great. And, it's a terrible idea. It will be hard to resist.

Get a small one made and use it instead of the stock truss rod cover.

That would be badass in place of the T-bird logo and a mint pg would look pretty Deluxe with BMM.
I'm more a book person than movie person, so I would have never known what this was about without having seen the Stiller reference in another thread.I have no strong feelings about Dean Markley strings, but I could never use Blue Steels just because this would be in my mind the whole time.
I think I've struggled more with Js tone than anything else. Again, I'm OCD about tone. Js with my rigs either sound honky or hollow. I'm into big thick lows with mid punch (Most of my basses have flats for a reason I guess!). I don't do "burpy," twangy or slappy. Currently I'm happy with the two I have, they sound really good, just not, "Wow! Do you hear this thing?" I'm sure it's just me. My '62 has Fender Pure Nickles and the '71 GHS Precision Flats. I do enjoy playing both. The '62 has a killer neck with amazing pattern ins the grain. You'd pay extra for a neck that looks like that now.

Hummm.... Wonder why that would be.
You are indeed full of.....bad ideas! Possibly bordering on criminally bad ideas. The sad thing is those likely do sell.
I think that might be even worser. Put the strap down and walk away.
I still have no idea.
OTOH, I liked Blue Steels OK for guitar. Have never tried them on bass. Happy enough with the chrome flats that expect to leave them on til they're dead.

Somebody else already bought it, or I would have had to think about it really hard and count nickels.

One of the great things about BMM is that it changes so much with the light. It can look lavender or brown or purple or pink. It can look light or dark. All colors change some with different lighting, but BMM changes a lot with different lighting.
