goonieman Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Worst bass colour ever. I can hardly look at it... burp , ugh, a little bit of sick... cough. I did a google image on not sure anything can really compete, unless you can find a tan brown sparkle sunburst? anyone? Quote
Maude Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Does the Copperburst Danelectro Longhorn count as tan brown sparkle sunburst? If so then it's very very high on my gas list. Quote
goonieman Posted July 3, 2015 Author Posted July 3, 2015 Maude, that is an excellent candidate - but I think you are confusing form with paint job. Don't let the truly horrendous and completely unergonomic body shape distract you... http://www.activebass.com/item--LP.DLHBASS-CPR Quote
cytania Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Sure it isn't just a badly photographed shoreline gold paint job? Check out the eBay-Weird and Wonderful section for some truly bad paint jobs. Quote

RhysP Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 That looks like Burgundy Mist to me - easily my favourite Fender custom colour. Quote

EssentialTension Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 A bit late now but ... that's burgundy mist metallic and it's gorgeous. Quote
alyctes Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) I have a Peavey Foundation which is not far from that colour. Pinker, less brown. This is pretty bad, IMO: [url="https://www.lasvegasguitarworks.com/technical-articles/images/burst-guitars/jet-caribbean-burst.jpg"]https://www.lasvegas...bbean-burst.jpg[/url] And this is worse: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DEAN-Custom-Zone-4-string-BASS-guitar-in-Florescent-Pink-w-LIGHT-HARD-CASE-/141219661594?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20e159071a Edited July 4, 2015 by alyctes Quote

bertbass Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Anything remotely green or sunburst. Sorry no pics. Quote

[/quote] Ok, I guess horses for courses. I think Burgundy Mist is a really kitchy tone... it smacks of a rusty Ford Mondeo, or one of those dresses from a little porcelain doll that grandmothers collect. This is just my personal experience of course... I don't want to offend anyones taste. I'm sure you have very good reasons for liking it. Quote
