I've decided to paint my old MIM Precision either Arctic White or like a Candy Apple Red. I'll be painting the headstock to match as well. The neck is a Geddy Lee Jazz neck I got off of EvilBay. I know that it's my decision that's most important, but what color does talkbass think I should paint it?

Duplicolor Metal Specks Red. Closest I've seen to CAR in one step, and it's a little bit brighter also. I can't find pics of the completed bass. I think I accidentally deleted them.

look up Instigator
I think he has a crap ton of matching headstock Fender type basses

I always liked the white on white Lakland DJ4 with blocks
but since its a Geddy that means black blocks which might be off putting
Pretty sure J Crawford would disagree with that Brubaker he had
Hmmm maybe it may work if you had a black pickguard?

The pickguard is white, but it's covered in designs painted in black.

I'd go with the Arctic White and get a black pickguard for it. A few years ago, I was trying to find a somewhat beat-up used Geddy. I was going to get my son to re-finish it in white for me. I always thought that combination would look awesome with the black blocks.
