White or black bass?

[MobileHolmes]

I have both

 

[Muttleybass]

Black will do. Until they come out with something darker.

One white and maple, one black and rosewood. It really is the only right way to do it.

White for this guy! And not just white, but specifically Olympic White!

 

[gjbassist]

Of these two choices, black. Neither would be my first choice.

All Colors Matter ...!!

[Manichga]

Both.

I like black, white, red, and natural wood the best. If there was a bass in a different color like Soda Blue or Seafoam, it wouldn't be my preference. I might get a bass in a different color though just for kicks.

The basses I've owned were black, white or 3tsb. I've currently got a red guitar.

As in life, things are rarely black and white...

"Converse (1964) proposed the black-an-white model of attitude stability to describe over-time resonses to repeated questions. The model consist of two groups who are maximally heterogeneous on the crystallization dimension of attitudes. The class of "true attitude" holders provides an identical response at each time period with certainty; the over-time responses of the class of "nonattitude" holders are statistically independent. Previous research employing this model with three-wave panel data has considered all respondents who provided even one "no opinion" or equivocal response as nonopinion holders and combined this group with the estimated nonattitudes under the model. This results in very high levels of nonattitudes. In this research, an argument is developed for treating the nonsubstantive responses probabilitstically. When the tabulations analyzed include an equivocal response category, the simple black-and-white model no longer fits. An alternative black-gray-white model is proposed that fits the data well. Estimates of nonattitudes under this model are markedly lower than under the black-and-white model."

Back in the early 70's I had a black Jazz bass, maple fretboard with black block inlays. It was really quite awesome looking! But the glossy finish really showed fingerprints and smudges a lot, so today I'd probably go with white (Olympic white, not a really bright white-white, if that makes sense).

Neither can I:

Thanks. I have a thing for blocked and bounds as well. I swapped out the white pearloid PG and added a tort one instead.

So maybe I am partial to white basses...

What model Ps are these?

Black one is a 1985 Fender Jazz Bass Special with custom black pearloid pick guard and Hipshot bridge. White one started life as a 2013 Squier Chris Aiken P and has been upgraded with custom painted Squier neck, EMG GZR pickups/controls, Hipshot bridge, pick guard, etc.

 

[GregT]

Yes!!!!

 

[PortlandBass77]

I guess I have to say black because I own a black bass that is in my top 3 I have ever owned?

I don't really care either way though, both look nice.

 

[JaseyT]

I can't vote.

I'm very interested to hear about what differences in tone those two basses have, with such noticeable change in bridge pickup location.

 

[warrplayer]

bLack as long as there's no rosewood or maple near it.
