Burgundy Mist or Lake Placid Blue or...?

[JamesBass]

I've decided I want to get myself a Limelight Jazz bass built, and so far I've narrowed it down to two colours. Lake Placid Blue or Burgundy Mist. I'm planning on having a rosewood board with blocks and binding, a matching headstock, and a tort guard.

So someone(All of you) help me decide!

Shoreline Gold.

[neepheid]

Shell Pink.

I have a burgundy mist stack knob sounds fantastic. Bit dark, I might have been tempted with a fiesta red or LPB if I could choose again

My two favourites.

Burgundy looks amazing with tort (I had a mexi classic FSR with dots, no binding) and parchment suits it too - but there are regular reissued basses out there.

The LPB blocks and bound has also been reissued (had the us 75 reissue of this)...

Go burgundy and blocks, mash it up, get stack pots and a transition logo - ruin everything the purists want to see 😄

[alyctes]

Neither, but burgundy is the better of the two

This is being saved for a future P bass

Exactly what I'm kinda thinking. I wanna create the ultimate jazz combining all of the best features of its history

Love Shoreline Gold, I've also got Fiesta Red which is also great and I had Daphne Blue, which I also really liked. Of the two mentioned, i like LPB - i think its one of the best colours, both traditional and modern as it has the metallic finish. I'm less keen on Burgundy Mist personally, although i can see why people like it. I doubt i'm man enough to wear a bass in 'mist though! How about Sherwood Green (also a metallic finish) - looks great on my Jazz?

I'd love to see some pics of the Sherwood Green Jazz, it was a colour I had in mind but might have ruled it out too early now...

+1 If it has to be one or the other, then Burgundy Mist. Not a big fan of green basses.

[franzbassist]

Burgundy Mist, Mint Green scratchplate, dots and bound neck with lollypop tuners. Job done

[Chiliwailer]

Mmm, great colours. I love Burgundy Mist but could never pull the trigger on one and own one.

As you can tell from my profile pic, it's LPB for me.

For me, Burgundy Mist (better than Lake Blue) suits really well a Relic finish. Limelight does it well usually, not to reliced. And prices are clever.

Tortoise or White ? Take the 2, you will change often and will have 2 basses in 1



Matching Headstock and above all Dots and binding, my favorite combination. Good choices

Mint green, always mint green.
Edit: OR Parchment white.

If Mark can only do the darker shade of BMM then I think I'd be more tempted by LPB, if he can get the lighter shade of the top pic the I'm pretty certain that's what I want, ok maybe about 85% sure haha

[uncle psychosis]

Of those two burgundy, but if it were me it would be shell pink or sonic blue.

[planer]

LPB all the way.

[Bigwan]

I'd it narrowed down to those 2 colours too... Now thinking Sherwood Green instead!

[Lozz196]

Of the two mentioned, LPB.

I don't think you could go wrong with both those three

Any of those colours are good - particularly the one you like.

[inate_hex]

Burgundy mist. I prefer the darker shade though.

I prefer it to the more 'washed out' look - it's class.
