TomRichards Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 This J. Backlund Design JBD-800B bass, made in the USA, is available. I am thinking of pulling the trigger, but not sure what color to have it finished. My first thought was a white to black burst. Hey Basschatters, suggest colors for me please! tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjones Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 If it's good enough for Flea it's good enough for you. Give Hirsty a call, and tell him I sent you. http://www.designboom.com/design/damien-hirst-flea-from-red-hot-chili-peppers-spun-bass-guitars/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Whatever colour you choose, I hope you are going to do the neck as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRichards Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Thinking matching headstock, leaving the neck a satin for playability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpup Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Red metal flake with a pearloid white scratchplate. Definitely a Corvette groove going on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] IME if you need a satin finish on the neck to maintain playability then it's being finished in the wrong type of lacquer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cocco Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Seafoam green, sonic blue, fiesta red, maybe burgundy mist? I think it needs to be a Surfy colour. Edited February 15, 2014 by cocco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
