Sean Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 (edited) It's from Jeannie's and it's blue/grey pearl which, well, er, I don't know really... Maybe on a black or white bass? What do you reckon? And updated to... You just have to look past those pink strings! The colour maybe a not to everyone's taste (including mine) but I love these DR Long Life. For me a better feel than Elixirs. Edited December 25, 2007 by Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 You're worried about the pickguard colour with THOSE STRINGS!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Cooke Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 it's fine on that bass... but you really need to get blue or black strings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul, the Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 It washes out the blue a bit because the contrast isn't so prominent. It still looks nice though, Sean. It might be a grower if you're not fond of it so much yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul, the Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I already like it more on second viewing. And that binding gives me quivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that binding gives me quivers [/quote] Pervert! Seriously though, it's definitely a contrast thing as you say. I was initially going to go for red or brown tort as the man himself has on his blue one but then I thought, hey, why not be different? And now what I have learned? That the classic combinations are classics for a reason . Oh well, it's being gigged tomorrow night ( at a Conservative Club - oh give me strength!) so I'm sure the band will give their unrestrained opinions.

obbm Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I have a red tort, at least that what I think it is that was on mine when I bought it, which i don't want if you want to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Bass Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I do think it is the strings, i think it would look great but those strings make it look too busy i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeh Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Love the blue/grey pearl and hot pink strings, but think the red tort is fugly. But tbh I dont like tort at all anyway, I'd still love that bass though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul, the Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Well you can't please everyone. A huge improvement, Sean. Probably my favourite modern bass on BC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martthebass Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 That red tort would look real nice on my black sparkle DJ. Must get rid of the standard white guard, was going to get a black one - this may have changed my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tait Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 if you want my honest opinion, i don't like either much. it could just be the strings, i don't know... sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
