Sort of reminds me of the orangeburst one Gibson did for Hawaiian Tropic.

All those pinkburst guitars and basses were featured in Premier Guitar a couple of months ago. Nice!

IMHO it's ugly and not even a burst. Just a red border around a salmon-colored body.

I don't care for any of them but at least most of the other ones have an actual color transition.

I agree with Dave- kind of a Coral color, not pepto pink. The red border is just not right.

I actually still own a couple of pink basses...although I haven't played them live in awhile, since I hung up my red spandex and leathers. Manly basses!

Used to have a pinkburst Modulus 5-string in the 90s.

Hamer Scepter 12 in pink pearl snakeskin, red LED dot markers, triple-coil Bartolini, boomerangs on ebony, 7/8 size body and extended cutaway. Got it from the original owner, Willie Basse of the all-Black 80s metal band Black Sheep. Willie still does a lot of engineering/producing for major labels....owns a studio in Hollywood. A great 12ver despite the weird look...the triple coil PUP really shines and the bass is great in the studio with the cutaway.



Pink lined fretless Kubicki (and an unlined one,) both pre-Fender. Phil Kubicki told me that he only made a fretless bass to about every 50 fretted ones, which means he made less than 25 pre-Fender. The pink one is SN#212 (my NYC area code where I was born...also have SN#212 Kubicki mini Les Paul that was Kerry Livgren's) and the red one was the last pre-Fender fretless made.

Not the type that looks like an Epi.  :mrgreen:

I don't eat salmon. It tastes fishy.  :P

FUGLY! The thing looks like a used tampon.:puke:

Even worse, a used tampon with black hardware.  ;)

My Greek friend, I really like it. Some salmon is good for you.

That said, shouldn't you be saving money right now rather than spending it?  :-X
