miles'tone Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Been looking at loads of the old Fender custom colours for my refin and I really like this colour combo, but I'm undecided if I could rock it myself. Not sure if the novelty would wear off. What do you lot think about it? Could you/do you play a pink one?

BobVbass Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Not sure about the Tort pickguard with it - but with a white one it would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number6 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Looks good.....i think a mint green pickguard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I like it... although definitely not with tort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Shell Pink and Surf Green are two of the best colours - I would love to have one of either some day. Also echo the reservations about the tort pickguard - doesn't sit right with the colour for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddy Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Pink rules [size=4]I've got a pink-burst Jay Jay French Epiphone Les Paul [/size] The Fender looks awesome, a real pink, not like salmon pink which is only pretending to be pink.

ped Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I'm biased as I used to have a '57 re-issue in shell pink, with white PG and all the ashtrays. I loved it and it looked great in the flesh. I'll see if I can find a pic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Looks great, but would better with a different P/G as others have said. Of course you like pink, Ped; your new avatar's background confirms it.

toneknob Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Like! Specially with that pickguard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles'tone Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 Hmm I quite like the tort. I thought it might be a bit anaemic looking with white/mint. Tort with rosewood, white with maple maybe? http://basschat.co.uk/topic/234493-nbd-pink-precision/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles'tone Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Nice one Toneknob 👍 Edited May 27, 2015 by miles'tone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Pink is fine. I have an MIJ '96 Anniversary Jazz which I acquired many years ago through this Forum. It has all the signs of being heavily used both by the original owner and myself. I found that the original white scratch plate was a bit too in-your-face so I changed it to a Tort. This was taken before I changed back to a VVT control plate. Edited May 27, 2015 by obbm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myke Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I love it! Doubt I could rock it though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Bolton Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I love Shell Pink, but I'd also echo the comments above and say that the tort scratchplate doesn't go with the colour combo. My general rule is that tort can go with pretty much any colour but only goes with rosewood fretboards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Shell Pink? Half-arsed, insipid excuse for pink. This is pink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I'm generally not [i]too[/i] bothered about colours (despite both my fenders being Butterscotch blonde) but it would have to be an exeptional player/tone for me to gig a shell pink, sorry. Come to think of it I think it's the red end of the spectrum that I find least appealing, not a big fan of CAR either. having said that I'm not keen on green. OK maybe I am influenced by the colours after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
