If it gets a refin I'm more thinking about orange, powder blue, ... Vintage surf colours;)

When you say powder blue and orange what comes to mind is this:

That's more of a neon lime (also not the most tasteful choice IMHO)

This is seafoam:



It can even get a bit browner than that (I guess because the sea is a bit dirtier is some places :P)

...actually this doesn't look too bad; you'd just have to be a retro 80s/rockabilly fusion dayglo punk (or a member of Sigue Sigue Sputnik) to pull it off:



It's a crime to do that to a White Falcon though.

Fender's Seafoam Green.... ('62 J bass).  Does lack intensity next to that Gretsch, but a very nice, classic color.





I still kinda like the SubLime, tho.

I love the seafoam on the Fender. the Gretsch looks nice too, but the green Dodge is a bit to much. Same as the Gulf GT-40. My blue Squier Musicmaster looks good together with my little practice amp, though.

I think I keep her as it is, but maybe once seafoam, a white guard and maybe two lipsticks, both in an angle and one more close to the neck?

BTW: I removed the white tape cross so it looks a bit less 'punk' ;)

That would be cool - and if you do it, the first tune you should play is Pipeline!

Alright ! Let's talk about the resonant properties of vintage glue  ;D

Love what the lipstick does for the bass Chris, but it really needs a refin ........ I'd go for Fiesta Red but I don't like blue or green basses which kinda limits the surf and sea foam options ..... how about some sun rise orange ?  ;)
