The colors you can tolerate really depends on which decade you "grew up" in. I love hot pink probably because I cut my teeth on the road and in the bars in the late 70's and all through the 80's. My hot-pink Franken-J bass, built in '82, was all the talk everywhere I played. It even nearly got my butt whipped when I took it to a newly-landed country gig in '87!

The guitar player was very suspicious of it.

BTW, Sheldon told me he loved, and understood, my idea for a pink SJ. He's an 80s guy also. Everybody Wang Chung tonight!
I'd like to see this concept SJ5 rendered in the yellow, with a maple neck, small pearl dots, and a white pearl pickguard.
