EBS_freak Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 What's your favourite Jazz bass colour scheme? I'm a sucker for white jazz basses, white scratchplate, maple neck, white headstock... ....also loved the surf green/maple necked, white scratchplate Nordstrand (Kevin Lindseys I believe) that was for sale on the forum not so long ago.

JMT3781 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Slightly off white with a tortoise shell pick guard.. that or natural with black pickguard... but natural needs to be yellowish otherwise it looks cheap not that i'm at all picky lol!

yorick Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 The Geddy Lee sig bass in black/maple neck/black blocks for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Candy apple red, matching headstock, white pearly scratchplate, neck ashtray, bound rosewood board with MOP blocks. As a close second, the same as the above only in Lake Placid Blue. Too cool for words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'd prefer Maple for a fret board, though, and I could take or leave the ashtrays... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shockwave Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Antigua, the best Fender colour EVER, regardless of bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 White, aged white, or burst with rosewood or maple. MUST be brown tort plate. Block and inlays also brilliant. Other options incl the more pastel colours like light blue and seafoam green. This has got me thinking....I think my 30th bass has to be aged yellowing white.

sshorepunk Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 classic fender colours, sonic blue, off white and sea foam green, all with tort plate. Sea foam green looks great on my CS jazz Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vibrating G String Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Sherwood green, matching headstock, rosewood fingerboard and a slightly mint pickguard. Or the same bass in LPB, seafoam green, silver, CAR, ice blue, or many other car paint colors. I'm not really a pre CBS fan but I love the look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right hand should be fine; just whack the metalwork against the strings, plectrum-style. <ahem> On-topic... 3-tone sunburst, tort plate, rosewood, dots not blocks, plain maple headstock. Simple, clean, happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davo-London Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 [quote name='Pkomor' post='761561' date='Mar 2 2010, 10:03 AM']That, or fiesta red with tort plate and ashtrays: [/quote] I'm a sonic blue and pearlised white scratchplate guy. I don't like white scratchplates at all. They are too stark. When coupled with the Geddy Lee colours it just looks all wrong to me. When I bought my first P back in 1976, I wanted the all black body with black scratch and maple neck. Yum. They didn't have any and so I got the boringly popular natural with black scratch. Not the same at all. Of course the classic sunburst with tort plate looks cool, especially when weathered. Davo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I don't like plain white plates much, but white pearl on the right bass (such as the aforementioned CAR/LPB) is sex on a stick. Ashtray-wise, I'd only want the neck one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosh Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) Olympic white (or Vintage white) with red tortoise shell pickguard, maple neck. -- Ideal on a Jaguar! Or the same but Sunburst body.
