Your prettiest bass
- Thread starter LastJaguar

when I added the pearloid to my Midnight Wine , my drummer, during a jam blurted out: " that is 1 sexy looking bass!"

I had a very pink jazz copy that I regret letting go of to this day and would buy back in a heartbeat.

The ABG and the hollowbody tend to get more attention, visually:
Even if I had a really pretty bass, like a purple one I saw earlier in thread, I always get jammed into some stupid corner of the stage, behind a tree, or once, around the corner of the deck we set up on. Twice this month, people from the audience came to the stage to find where the bass player was. I do, however, appreciate the beautiful hardware many have posted.
My favorite color too, from 1981.

Wow. I love that purple accent. Perfect. Excellent !!!
bob, i totally get where you're coming from on this --- i agree with you. my POV is: looks are for kids!
that said: shirley there's enough "kid" left in most of us to appreciate what our 'friends' think is beautiful --- it helps us define/appreciate our 'friends' a bit more. and just so you know where this 'friend' is coming from, i present to you what i think is my "prettiest bass" ---

Love it!! Kings attire for sure. Elvis and Prince would approve . Royalty indeed.
My favourite bass so far. I love the adjustable double split coil pups, and what appears to be active, clip-lead selectable tone and volume components. Too many knobs for me, but it's a beautiful thing, and probably plays as smooth as it looks! Definitely a "keeper". One suggestion: use a locking strap with it. You can't be too careful with a custom bass.
