cameltoe Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Hi Guys! Got a bit of an idea with my recently acquired Silver Series jazz bass. The thing plays beautifully, but needs a bit of character. I like my basses to have character! It's black with rosewood with black guard at present. My mind has been wandering..... and I'm thinking mint green guard with mint racing stripes! (a la Mustang). Possibly an F bridge cover too. It looks better in my head than it sounds here, but maybe a bored photoshop whizz wouldn't mind knocking a rough image together before I buy everything, fit it, realise it looks ridiculous, and sell it all on for a loss? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I like everything about that except the stripes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 If that bass above were mine, i'd get rid of the stripes and stick a black scratchplate on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sblueplanet Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) A gold pickguard on black would be a cool look. Just ask the Bass Doc. He makes a mean guard. Edited November 22, 2013 by sblueplanet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I quite like black with the mint guard actually, it's quite pervy. Though parchment may be better. Or cream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameltoe Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 it's a stealth bass at the moment, black everything, but a new wiring loom to wire the pickups in series is to be installed, with a chrome bell plate. I really dig the racing stripes though, I want! Not in that colour though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Derrr silly me I re-read it lol how about leave it in stealth and just put some white transfer type block inlays on the board they look kinda cool but have no idea what they are like in the flesh so to speak.
