About colors

[rufo bw]

In first place, Hello everybody, this is my fisrt topic, and I hope to learn off all of you, and to help when I can.

I'd like to ask you for some help, I'm going to buy a Corvette STD Ash, but in my country there are not many bass in stock, so I have to choose the color by images I find in internet.

I'd like you to recomend me places where I can see, how the diferents colours fit to Swamp Ash body.

So I have seen this picture of a burngury red one, but i think this is french violet, what do you think?



P.S: Excuse for my english, I hope you can understand me.

yes that is french violet

this might help you with colours;

these are all photos with finishes over an ash body (the same body wood as the corvette STD your after) or finishes that look the same whatever wood the body is made of





bassmonster's corvette (ash with burgundy red coloured oil)





bassmonster's rockbass (alder with ocean blue coloured oil but alder looks similar to ash)





Benedict's $$ (ash with nirvana black coloured oil)





Splinter's Thumb BO (seafoam green solid high polish - looks the same with whatever wood :wink: )





Blockrocker's $$ (ash in antique tobacco coloured oil)





Basscisco's fortress (ash with a honey violin coloured oil (i think))





Munkeh's corvette (ash(i think) with emeraude green (i think) coloured oil)





Two of Joe's basses

Top photo is a $$ (ash with the nirvana black coloured oil). bottom one is another corvette (white solid high poish-looks the same with whatever wood)





jDub's $$ (ash with a honey violin stain high polish)





anarchyok's vette (ash with the natural oil)

Mr top10's $$ (ash with burgundy red coloured oil finish)

Great shots there Alex. I'd love a French Violet bass. Very nice colour, and not too commonly seen.
