Hi,

I like to order me a new Jazz Bass, but can't make up my mind about the color.

6. ???

PS: I own already Olympic White, Lake Placed Blue, Natural and Tri Tone Sunburst

I'm not a fan of Sadowskys but I think the red/tort is the best looking.

Pearloid pickguards shouldn't be allowed, they are foul.

[lojo]

Mate this stuff is so subjective

I love sunburst and light blues in general, so i like the ice blue one

Id also buy a cheaper Fender instead, whatever anyone says about them

[xilddx]

There's no Olympic White so I can't play.

[risingson]

That candy apple orange and the candy apple red are just beautiful with the tort pick guard combo. I'd add sonic/daphne blue w/3 ply white and a maple board into the mix as well, probably seamfoam green also.

[Cat Burrito]

On paper the orange but looking at the pictures probably the blue

[paul h]

I'd be torn between the Ice Blue and the Candy Apple Red.

5.

As for 6, I'd be thinking about copper with plain h/s

+1 for Seafoam Green

[skej21]

Black... always got to be black (especially with the matching headstock!)

But get a black or tort scratchplate. That pearloid one is horrid!

6. LPB, aged white plate, matching headstock.

It's all very subjective, "one man's meat..." etc., but of the choices shown, it would definitely be the black with black pearl guard for me.
Personally, I don't mind the black pearl though, to answer #6, maybe an alternative would be a plain black/white/black guard? Or even a dark red tort on black?

[rapscallion]

TV Yellow.

Definately TV Yellow

[ElCapitan]

Serious stuff this.

[Vibrating G String]

Sherwood green, white pickguard, rosewood board and matching headstock. Like this but with a painted headstock.

Et moi.

[HeavyJay]

Sonic Blue with white, tort or black p/g
Sunburst with tort

Although with those options, the Candy Red is the one.

Edited to add:
Or Olympic White with tort or black.

Jaffa cake with a black scratcher.

[dave_bass5]

6. Black with matching black headstock and matching black PG.

[JTUK]

Have to say that Sadowsky make such pretty basses, IMO, I think you would have to try very hard to get anything really wrong..maybe I'd stay away from black blocks on maple, if it were me.

My choice would a rich tobacco burst with red tort plate and RW neck with MOP blocks and white binding.

Out of the choices you list maybe the blues work for me but none are offensive by any means, they all work, even black which isn't my thing.

[HMX]

Orange first choice, Red second.

[charic]

This colour please!!!





with a maple neck & black blocks!
