White basses on stage

I have come to appreciate the white finish on my Ibanez. I used to consider it sort of second to my black, dark stain, and sunburst basses.

It looks good and stands out on a festival stage without being ostentatious or showy.

It’s going to show the stage lighting, so it becomes a part of the light show.

And it fits in great at church!
I like all black but after seeing a major show some years back, one band wore all white ; took on all colors of stage lighting.


Looked impressive.

Decided same for white Basses and probably pearl or metallic/metal flake but that’s not a priority at the moment and enjoying 3 of my Basses which are black.

I love white basses, and although I do not have a white one at the moment, I'm keeping an eye out for a smoking deal on a white/maple Precision. My strat is Arctic White w/maple, and always wanted a bass to match it. I also really like natural wood finishes.

I personally feel just as strongly about black basses, but in the opposite direction. I will never own another black bass or guitar. Just my two cents, but I'm sick to death of 'em! :D
