New bass for MXPX

[rhythmCity944]

that color looks like the color of my scrubs that I wear at work...

and is almost the color of my 1967 VW Beatle...

how about

"baby scrub blue"

or

"Beatle blue"

Why does F#%&#r put those chrome pup covers on their basses? Do they serve a purpose? Not a big fan of those.

If you look at some of the greats through the years as James Jamerson, Duck Dunn, Joe Osbourne and look at those photos, Those covers we're used as thumb rest and look at the angle the basses we're at,
They got that ole upright tone out of an electric Fender Bass with that syle,

Today the whole scene has changed, Fender now does it more for look then actual playing style.
todate only a few players like Will Lee to mention one still uses the cover-s.

Seafoam Green is a great color....I like the thought of a bongo in that color...would be interesting....as I hate the color green.

 

[Dr. Nick]

It's Seafoam Green Kids. A Color us Old guys will never forget.

I concur...I've got a Str@t that color...when I first bought it, I was convinced I needed to have it re-finished, but damn if it didn't just grow on me!

Besides, we all know that custom colors improve the tone!

How about if Mike calls it. "My new bass"?

What makes it "super light"?

Probably just careful wood choice. I have an 8.0 lb Stingray and an 8.2 lb Sterling. It took a lot of searching on my part but they do roll off the assembly line like that.

Who is that noob posting Fenders?

[SteveB]

Call that color "soap scum".

It reminds me of the soggy underbelly of a bar of soap that someone left sitting in a soapdish full of water.

Not that I don't like the color or anything, that's just what it evokes for me.

Someone Just Educating the Kids.

 

[MingusBASS]

We have all seen Sea Foam Green. But it's Fender's name for that color. If they should decide to make up their own name, we were offering suggestions. No education needed for this 26 y/o kid.

Also, it could be the lighting, but the sea foam in jack's pic looks different than the "sea foam" that has been used on Mike's new bass.

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

How about 'Puke Blue'

 

[Caca de Kick]

How about a Central Coast theme and call it Morrow Bay Aqua, or Morrow Bay Green, Pismo Green, Avila Surf...maybe something along those lines.

Yup the old stomping grounds....

 

[roburado]

Crockett Green (for us old Miami Vice fans...).
Cool color...

1980's Time Warp Turquoise

Not that there's anything wrong with that. Just not my speed.

 

[JustinP]

"Chick Magnet" green.

"Well hes a chick magnet if ya know what I mean"

Anyone?!

 

[robelinda2]

"Moody Blue"

Now this i like!


My surname is Moody, it could be my signature colour!

 

[ekb16b]

"blureen" half blue half green kinda makes sense

 

[PocketGroove82]

if you watch south park...you will notice that the color of that bass is exactly the same as the color of the cafeteria floor.

 

[brokenxbonesx]

I say call it left coast aqua. I havent seen him play this bass yet.

 

[aníbalsantander]

looks like antiseptic mouthwash after a good rinse.....ish
