Re: P-Bass Color Scheme Poll!!
Yeah, a pale Sonic Blue WOULD look really good. I actually do intend to put the P-Bass pickup cover on it too!! I didn't know they made white MM pickup covers... Hmm... That gives me a few more options... Thanks dude! Where'd you find those pictures?

Re: P-Bass Color Scheme Poll!!
Why is 2 or 3 pickups the norm for guitar but 2 pickups on a bass somehow out there? The tele is often held up as the pinnacle of simple and utilitarian, but it has 2 pickups. Different songs call for different tones, and that goes for bass just as much as guitar. Perhaps changing tone mid song is less common for bass, but a funk grove and a 90's grunge tune and a 60's doo wop aren't all going to have the same feel. This is osg for crying out loud, its all about weirdly complex instruments. rant ends sorry for the derail

Re: P-Bass Color Scheme Poll!!
I like the way you think! Haha. I've never been someone who changes bass pickups during song (usually), but for different songs? Hell yes I do!FunkyFlash5 wrote:Why is 2 or 3 pickups the norm for guitar but 2 pickups on a bass somehow out there?

Re: P-Bass Color Scheme Poll!!
I just got home from work (second shift) and I was looking back at your photoshopped P-Basses and hhhehehe you gave me an idea... Krylon fusion (the stuff that's really good with plastic) and a custom painted MM color...

Re: P-Bass Color Scheme Poll!!
Just had an epic idea. I was looking through some older posts and found the Goldmaster thread. This is what I'm thinking: that vintagey orange that I like so much, with a maple neck, and a gold guard...

Re: P-Bass Color Scheme Poll!!
Not psyched about that tbh. With Anodised silver instead of gold it might look cool though. But I still favour the pale sonic blue.

Re: P-Bass Color Scheme Poll!!
I like the sonic blue too, but I think I'm gonna use that scheme for my Bass VI project I'm working on. I've kinda decided on the orange for sure (not quite like that original picture, but a bit closer to the base orange (i.e. not the stripes) from a Competition Mustang, with maybe a hint more orange to it...

Re: P-Bass Color Scheme Poll!!
Man OIG! Those natural and white ones are gorgeous
See, the gold on orange would look great, (that's kinda the orange shade I'm going for), but I'd do two things different on yours: maple neck and white/cream pickup covers. I think the dark neck and black pickup covers stick out too much (like new aesthetics on an old-school base). It turned our really great in the end though!!!
