What's your least favorite color for a bass guitar?

[g-dude]

Not the color of the bass but I hate gold hardware.

Gold hardware works better than chrome for black basses.

It also goes nicely with brass.

antigua is pretty gross looking imo

Saw an Orange Markbass jazz style bass today at GC , even at $299.00 I'm not too crazy about the color .

 

[Parzival]

Wood.

White would be 2nd.

 

[Jaco Taco]

Yellow, Orange, Pink... I can't see myself ever getting a bass in those colors.

 

[jimmydean]

MT1994 is spot on.......Antigua is disgusting....hate it!

 

[J-Bass RMR]

anything over 9 1/2 lbs.

 

[Relsom]

I don't care for stripey woodgrains like zebrawood.

I really don't understand the appeal, makes your guitar look like a rotten egg or something

 

[BuddhaFingas]

Black.

 

[DwaynieAD]

Tobacco burst followed by sunburst

I think color choices (in anything) reflect your personality. How much you want to stand out in any particular circumstance. I don't. My color palette was pretty much defined and locked in the 50s early 60s.
I don't hate anything, though; I just think you're goofy.

I want to throw a tort pickguard on an Antigua body just to mess with people.

Surprisingly not too bad!

I want to throw a tort pickguard on an Antigua bass just to mess with people.

My Antigua P had an awful after-market tort when I got it in '85.
Changed it to aged white mother of toilet seat for a while before returning it to stock.

There's a Robbie Robertson lyric that best describes Antigua:

"There's one thing you gotta learn
Is not to be afraid of it"
I said, "No, I like it, I like it, it's good"
She said, "You like it now
But you'll learn to love it later"

 

[packhowitzer]

offwhite or cream etc... I like white basses, but I prefer them to be arctic or titanium white. Cream just looks dingy to me.

Now that I've offered that opinion, I'm 100% positive that there are cream basses out there that I would think look great.

Green shades

Do you have a color or finish that you just don't like, no matter how hard you try?

Least favorite: black.
From the point of view of a person obsessed with cleanliness, shine, the color black is very difficult, for me the least attractive.

But it's beautiful, in other people's hands

I know this is gonna rain hate on me..but, I never been a big black bass guy.
But I also owned a Gibson Grabber in a wine/burgundy color that was so bad that the store gave me a deep discount.
But I also bought a pair of Chucks once at a Converse outlet store.
They were a fugly color of baby poop yellow. The store had a big pile of them, new in boxes, in the middle of the showroom with a sign that said $10.00.
A pair of Chucks for 10 bucks? .... I didnt care how ugly they were.
That Grabber was a good bass, and I NEEDED a good bass,
So... color be damned.
Oh yeah .... Antigua is pretty awful.
