Jamaican/Rastafarian colours bass guitar

[Bass Novice]

I would really like a bass guitar with either green, gold and black or green, gold and red colours. I have been searching the internet but can not seem to find one in these colours. Does anyone know of a company that makes them, or can point me in the right direction?

Afraid not - I would think you may be needing the services of someone handy with a spray gun.

I’m sure someone here may be able to suggest someone. Also have a look here in Gear / Build diaries

for ideas. Good luck!

There's a few companies that do wraps. Will require a bit of work, but could be a fun project if you are practically minded.

@ped's suggestion would nearly suit your colours and as an owner of two Reverends, I can cofirm they are great basses.

 

Failing that, there are quite a few red and black basses out there with gold hardware; buy one of them and stick a green pick guard on it.

This one has come up a few times on a few reggae forums I’ve been on, not sure of the brand and a custom order I think

That's a Dingwall with a "rastaburst". There's a thread on TalkBass about it, but it looks like all of the pictures are dead.

I would say get the bass you want and get it repainted, rather than buying a bass you don't want just because it's the right colour.

[Maude]

How about this SX in the 'Basses for sale' section? 

Depending on how red the orange bit is, a green pickguard could give you your rasta bass.

 I should send this picture to my dad. He would love it. It would be followed by a phone call about how things was in the 70’s and 80’s for a Rasta.

That would be cool, the 70s and early 80s was the best time for reggae imo, I’m sure he has plenty of good stories

 he has some fascinating stories. As its carnival bank holiday, ill reach out to him.

Perhaps something like this and add some red knobs: 

 

 

Although, for me, THE Reggae Bass look is a slightly knackered Fender Jazz with a sunburst/tobacco burst. e.g.

 

Aston Barrett: 

 

 

Robbie Shakespeare:

 

 

Flabba Holt:

 

 

 

 

.....all of them played all sorts of other Basses too, but that's what I always assume a Reggae Bass to look like.

@Bass Novice I got a shot of a nice jazz bass from a video I was watching, the pickguard matches the body, I wouldn’t mind this

I recon its a cĺear plate...
