I know, I know. I hate gold hardware. IMHO, gold only goes with black basses. BBNE2 as an example.

The pearl tuning pegs don’t work on the black version at all. 🤮

Agree. Absolute fantastic bass though. One I wish I still had. The fingerprints were always a nightmare though. I’d get it in pewter or white (and change hardware colour to silver) if I ever went there again.

Speaking of NE2s they really do look completely crap when they go for white with gold , far worse than turdburst, don't they? Can't imagine any self respecting bass player touring with Eric Clapton or Phil Collins would ever be seen dead playing one.

Amateurs eh?

I was looking to get some feedback on how the design looked to people, without blowing my own trumpet so to speak... now I get it may look bad but I was genuinely just excited to show what I had come up with myself, not look to ‘self promote’

Apologies

The pewter has chrome hardware doesn’t it? Or black?

your pic above confirms

Good of Phil to make the effort.

He was just a bit pis*ed off that Nathan was able to play the bass and sing at the same time (I find it hard enough just playing the bass), but someone had obviously nicked his drum kit.

If it’s what you’re after buddy, fair play to you - other options and basses are available for those who don’t like it.

Yeah. As standard. White has the gold. It’s the white if change out the hardware to chrome. The pearl tuners I could live with.

Nah. Nathan's white NE2 is iconic and, come on, it looks stunning. It's a beautiful, balanced design.

But heh, some folk think orange is the new black (cue pic....😁)

The bb-2005 gives a fair representation of what that would look like.

Don’t mention the orange bass...once it’s name is unleashed, you know a picture will appear...

And then @Cuzzie will say “ooh, a brown bass”.

Super clean, love the 32” scale thing too!

It says on the page that it would come in 6 of their standard colours and with a natural neck/fingerboard (as a standard model that is) so I guess that’s less flashy...

I think it looks great, certainly a MK influence as mentioned...

NO Silvia. You've missed the point. No matter how elegant, balanced and good looking a bass may be with white and gold hardware it's just wrong. FACT. No point arguing about it or having a different point of view 😉
