EssentialTension Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 [quote name='goonieman' timestamp='1435954727' post='2814031'] 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?

discreet Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1436115211' post='2815080'] I quite like the body shape. And even if you didn't are you really telling me that Warwick do not make worse body shapes? [/quote] I like the body shape, too. Warwick famously stole the Spector shape for their own basses. Stuart was furious, and still is. But yes, Warwick have certainly come up with some belters on their own account. Cough! *Dolphin!* Cough! Edited July 5, 2015 by discreet Quote
Billy Apple Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Worst ever.. Spalted or burled. Rotten wood on your bass Sir? Quote

[/quote] Does plain (even rotten) wood even count as a colour - I know Warwick basses are often uncoloured but they have made some choice coloured ones including aherm ............. black (about the least adventurous of all bass colours), and the even more whacky chrome and dirty blond!! That Musicman puke colour has surely to rank as one of the all time disasters of mixed pigment though! The pic shown is not too bad but I've seen others where it looks browny yellow - it's called trans green btw (for those who didn't know) Edited July 5, 2015 by drTStingray Quote
alyctes Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 I'm interested in the pickup combo, but oh, the colours...

[/quote] There's a lot of colours tort doesn't go with - the exceptions being white, sunburst, natural and (at a push) fiesta red. It does not go with any kind of blue, green, black, grey or silver... IMHO, of course... Quote
bartelby Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 There were some truly horrendous "crackle" finishes in the 80s. Washburn, Jackson and Charvel seemed to be the main offenders... Quote

discreet Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Agree with whoever didn't like Antigua, it's a truly horrible finish. Makes a bass look like a crappy ghost - on the moon! Quote
4-string-thing Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I used to have one of these, great bass and seemed to fit the spoof hair-metal band I was with at the time perfectly.... Not so sure nowdays, but given the chance I'd probably buy it back! [sharedmedia=core:attachments:95007] Quote
Low End Bee Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Sunburst. Yuk. Exactly what my main bass is finished in too. It's a love hate thing, Quote
BigRedX Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Any bass (or guitar) with a blue or green top and natural sides and back - usually in some incredibly bland looking wood. Only someone colour-blind could think it was attractive. Quote

[/quote] I had the guitar version of one of these. It was a nice player, though the novelty of that finish wore off rather quickly. Quote
