What colour amp, ideas please

[karlfer]

It looks very much like I will be keeping my Little Mark TUBE 800, as nae bugger wants to buy it.
The top and bottom are scratched badly. I can do nothing about the bottom.
I own a Rive fishing box, and lots of other Rive owners get custom coloured framework done. Stripped and powder coated.

I am going to remove the lid from the amp and get that stripped and powder coated on the top.

My question to you, Basschat massive is this.
WHAT COLOUR?
My thoughts so far;
Yellow, match knobs, speakers, have a stack that looks like a Turner Prize Wasp.
White. Toon colours.
Black. Meh

Any of you lot good with that photoshop stuff?
Ta,
Karl.

Get some sticky backed vinyl. Maybe something patterned? Treadplate style?

Vinyl is quite easy to apply if you have a smooth surface & a hairdryer & it can be picked up cheaply too.

Yellow stripes, really go for the wasp look.

[grenadilla]

Is your bass Surf Green ? That colour would be a nice contrast.

First, go to the powder coaters and get sample tags of each of the colours that they offer. Then you'll know what your choices are.

If you made it orange, that would really confuse gearstalkers.

Thanks guys, I knew there be bonkers-ness

I'm loving these ideas

[Conan]

Purple! Not only is it the best colour, but it goes great with yellow

[ColinB]

Break out the wet'n'dry and got for the brushed aluminium look. Unless it's steel, then it'll go horribly rusty

[Norris]

Cover the case in LED strips and have it whatever colour you fancy at the time

[xgsjx]

How about a fur top?

[karlfer]

Keep 'em coming guys, thank you.
Some great ideas.
Some of you have obviously given your carers the slip .

I would be tempted to get some Graphite look vinyl and cover it with that something like this as a rough idea

[lojo]

Leave it , it works and looks road worn

[ezbass]

Yellow leatherette, pimp style.

I like xgsjx's tread plate suggestion.

[tom1946]

Just use the bloody thing, won't sound any better if you waste money powder coating it?
I have been known to be wrong mind.

For me, amp coloration is all about fitting in with the existing decor.

Those boots are something!

Have to say, HJ, it worries me slightly that you seem to have this immediate and apparently limitless access to weird photos...

[Happy Jack]

It wasn't easy, I tell you ...

[Roland Rock]

There's not much that will compliment the yellow knobs. Matching yellow is a possibility, but IMO there is already too much Markbass Yellow inflicting the world ;-)
Black is pointless, so if you had to change it, I'd vote for full on aluminium chequerplate, which might actually give it a bit of a Hacienda/FAC51 vibe.

Actually, you could go further and do the Hacienda diagonal grey and yellow stripes on top

I have a strange liking for those boots. Might have to dig mine out
