White basses on stage

[Standalone]

I have come to appreciate the white finish on my Ibanez. I used to consider it sort of second to my black, dark stain, and sunburst basses.

It looks good and stands out on a festival stage without being ostentatious or showy.

It’s going to show the stage lighting, so it becomes a part of the light show.

And it fits in great at church!

And it matches your sunglasses for that true ensemble look. .

I really like white basses! Your Ibanez looks great,and i always like the look of My white 4000.

I'm with ya!

So many of us wear black or dark stage clothes that I just don't get the popularity of black basses, which disappear into dark clothes and black backdrops.

Ha yeah guilty. This is totally a “I found an excuse to post a pic of me rocking out” thread.

That pickguard on the Mustang is flash. Great stage bass and my favorite Mustang I’ve seen on here.

I love white with black pickguards!


This was about ten years ago:

While I wish my PG were black, but bass is still just a beautiful thing in my eyes. Honestly, I'm pretty nervous playing it on small stages.

EDIT: spell check bit me!!

Jealous of that pawnshop mustang! That thing is sweet!

Irony. If you look in my sig pick, I've been rocking the same black P bass for a long time. It plays great and looks killer, but it absolutely disappears against the black clothing I always wear.

As of today I've taken a different route.


I got this in the mail today, straight from Japan. It's a 2007 CIJ PB-70. Plays like a champ and will show up under the lights and against my black backdrop wonderfully.

I can't wait to get it out on a gig.

Never mind your gear... the fact that you have Taken, Cast Away, Twister and Mrs. Doubtfire on dvd makes you a winner in my book... and the white PJ is pretty ok too.

I like my white with a hint of mint.

White is my fav color but the Black one sounds best.

BTW, what model Ibby is that? Looks sexay.

It is a 1985 RB850.

The ‘86 version changed pickups. This one is lightweight but the pickups sound as massive as they look.
