AndyTravis Posted May 15, 2021 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
AndyTravis Posted May 15, 2021 Author Posted May 15, 2021 Ocean turquoise metallic and Shell pink...🤷🏻♂️ Quote
4000 Posted May 15, 2021 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
jazzyvee Posted May 15, 2021 Posted May 15, 2021 what about the natural wood finish? is that not an option? Quote

NJE Posted May 15, 2021 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
TheGreek Posted May 15, 2021 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

drTStingray Posted May 15, 2021 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
ezbass Posted May 15, 2021 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
