AndyTravis Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Just a general discussion... I have a bass Ive taken the paint off. Looking for suggestions on what could look well with the gold hardware. I was thinking Metallic Purple, Or Dark Metallic Green. Open to suggestions - pictures welcome... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4000 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I’d normally say any mid to dark blue, but that purple looks awesome. I’ve always fancied a purple bass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzyvee Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 what about the natural wood finish? is that not an option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it’s had a chip on the back so would show the filler/repair/graft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, that needs to be something spectacular. Gotta be purple or blue! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJE Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 That metallic green on the Gretsch is seriously nice! Always wanted a green bass after listing over an early green Eric Clapton Strat as a kid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) Deep green... Off to find an example... There's a photo of a green Goodfellows /GB Rumour somewhere - looks amazing. Sod's law - I can't find it. Edited May 15, 2021 by TheGreek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drTStingray Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) I don't usually like gold hardware but these seem good to me. Purple or pink sparkle? 😬👍 Edited May 15, 2021 by drTStingray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Purple and gold is a classic combo, just works, channel your inner emperor (or Prince). I’m not a gold hardware fan, but when I originally saw that Gretsch metallic green and gold finish, I was reaching for my wallet, thankfully GG sold it before divorce proceedings could be filed 😆. It looked even better in the flesh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
