For ages I never liked white basses, but now I have an Olympic White P-bass being made by USACG/Dan Atkinson. I'll be able to show it off soon!
I've always played white basses. 1986 Charvel/Jackson:
Stolen from my car at college and replaced with MIM Fender Jazz:
Traded in for my 1964 Fender Jazz:
Sold because I stopped playing electric for many years, and recently replaced with this Squier/Fender beater Jazz (being played by one of my students):
That '64 is the nicest bass I ever played, but I don't miss it because it deserves to be gigged regularly (sold it to a serious player). It was an Olympic white refin, had an ebony fingerboard, BadAss II bridge, EMGs and other things that made it cool but not collectible. Perfect gig bass.
White is a great color for an electric bass!

Here is mine. 1981 BC Rich Eagle Deluxe in Glitter Rock White:
That's just sick! Sick, I tells ya. Beautiful.
