Which color would you choose?

[Oddly]

Voted Sonic Blue, but that was a hard choice!
My personal choice would be Candy Tangerine.
Just curious, planning on a matching headstock?

+1 for the Sonic Blue. No reason other than I like it more than the others.

 

[TolerancEJ]

They all look fantastic and you couldn't go wrong with any of those selections. Of the 3 choices, I think I prefer the green finish.

Edit: I've recently realized I do not have a green bass. One should have a green bass in case you're booked to play a St. Patrick's Day gig.

I voted sonic blue but it's a tough call! I have both a seafoam green (seems to be a little darker than surf) and sonic blue bass and love both colors. As for red, I'm more of a CAR guy

 

[GIBrat51]

You didn't give me the option, but... I vote "Carrot colored" anyway...

But, sonic Blue is nice, IMO...

 

[JRA]

i had to vote black black black black black.

but red is nice, too! good luck with your color coding!

No. Not a fan of matching headstocks.

Dakota with Tort.

No. Not a fan of matching headstocks.

I voted Surf Green. I personally have owned (ignoring pickup type and slight variation depending on the manufacturer) rosewood and matching headstock, rosewood plain headstock, maple and matching headstock (all bought used). After 3 failed tries, I’ve concluded I like maple and plain headstock best for surf green.

I'll be turning the big 5-0 in December and want to treat myself to a new bass.. Some features/specs I have ironed out. The biggest issue right now will be color..

Concrete specs
Jazz 5 string
@Nino Valenti will build it
Alder body
21 fret rosewood fretboard
35" scale
Chrome Hipshot B style bridge and hardware
19mm spacing
Passive

But what color??? I want to stay with the 60's Fender palatte. I've narrowed it down to three;

Surf Green,

Before i joined the Corps my favorite color was any shade of green. When i got out i was more in to blue but only the really deep shades like navy and nightwatch.
That said in this situation i’m gonna second @two fingers, throw three slips in a hat and let a loved one decide your fate. Not only will you get a great color but it will also add another layer of positive emotion to your milestone event.

Mark, I'm sure I'll forget, but Happy 50th!

I was going to take the Dakota Red, right off the bat, but upon further inspection of the fretboard and finish together, the Sea Foam is pretty sweet...

 

[Jared Lash]

I love Fender classic colors but I tend to like them more on some models than others. To me Surf Green looks great on a Jazzmaster or even a Pbass.

But for a Jazz (or a Strat) I'd take Sonic Blue of those three colors every time.

 

[Felken]

Oh man. Either red or surf green. My first instinct was red, but the more I look at green, the more I like it.

EDIT: Go with red.

EDIT 2: No, go with green.

EDIT 3: I don't know... help.

EDIT 4: I think I'm leaning towards red. A nice black pickguard would be great. The surf green is just a tad too blue for my taste.

 

[40Hz]

Sonic blue with a mint pickguard.

Elegant and classic.

 

[basspraiser]

Love them all!!!

But I go Dakota !!!

 

[Ghastly]

Sonic blue or dakota red, though I voted red.

 

[4SG]

Had the same thoughts recently and went with a faded and aged sonic blue. My full post about it is here:
NBD: Precisely!

Looks like this:

 

[eekamike]

I voted Surf Green, but if you can get matching headstock, that blue would be killer.
