TomRichards Posted February 14, 2014 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
Geek99 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Gold sparkle metallic all over or black to purple burst Quote

gjones Posted February 14, 2014 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
BigRedX Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Whatever colour you choose, I hope you are going to do the neck as well. Quote
TomRichards Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 Thinking matching headstock, leaving the neck a satin for playability. Quote
Mudpup Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Red metal flake with a pearloid white scratchplate. Definitely a Corvette groove going on here! Quote

[/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
discreet Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Red. High-gloss red. Like a Ferrari. Quote

iconic Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 [quote name='TomRichards' timestamp='1392392288' post='2368143'] Hmmmmm....google searching corvettes now... [/quote] Dont pick corvettes of the 60/70's they didnt generally have sexy names....normally something like 43 dark brown, 34 mid red etc....instant loss of streetcred points! Quote
iconic Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Ps....orange always looks good to me...but i'm a tad colour blind.... Quote
cocco Posted February 15, 2014 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
simon1964 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Seafoam green would look great on that. Definitely with a matching headstock, Quote
TomRichards Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 What do you guys think of my original thought, a pearl white to black burst? Quote
Big_Stu Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Cadbury's Purple with metallic flecks. I saw a JImmy Moon bass with that finish once & it was truly gorgeous. Quote
