Title: Fenderbird with new paint
Post by: georgestrings on September 22, 2014, 05:13:10 PM
I just put it back together, and took some quick pics with my crappy camera - here goes:

Looks fine from here, but my monitor shows two different colors. Is this sonic blue?

You're right!  #2 and #3 look significantly different!  #1 agrees with #2, so I'm thinking they're the most accurate and the other is a lighting effect.

My monitor is showing a sonic blue bass with a surf green top!

Not that there's anything wrong with it...

Love the bass! :thumbsup:
Looks like a color balancing issue with the images themselves - the backgrounds have a different hue as well.

It's actually seafoam green, but in some light it appears to be blue - besides my crappy camera, lack of photography skills and poor lighting contributing to the "effect"...

Looks great! Reminds me of my sonic blue a little bit. Stage lights make it look anywhere from white to lavender in pics.

George,
 
 It came out fantastic! Rock that bass!

The color shift is from different bulb types - they'll render the visible color spectrum differently.


Great pic Tom!

Thanks, Mark - your opinion on all things Bird carries considerable weight with me...
