I like the Brown Metallic Burst on this Fender Special Run Standard Series Precision Bass.

This isn't a Precision, but the Butterscotch Blonde finish on this Modern Player Telecaster bass looks nice.

I will apologize in advance for this. :roll:
This isn't a Fender at all, but I really like the Black Cherry finish on this Michael Kelly Drangonfly 5 String acoustic bass.

Just found this Custom Shop Jazz bass with a Violin finish. Now this one I really like. If I were looking to buy a new bass, this would be the one.

As much as I'd like to buy the exact color I want, i bought the best playing basses, i'm really not a fan of natural, or blonde or whatever, I do like sunburst.

Point is; If it plays well, I like henna, henna color at all.

I found the best playing basses I have are my 1969 Lake Placid Blue P with a rosewood board & my 1972 Firemist Gold maple "A" neck P. My favorite color is LP Blue so I got the best playing in my fav color. The '72 gold one is nice too. Photos to follow this weekend

My personal favorite is transparent blue. That being said, I'd gladly go for a violin burst or walnut, I mean, who wouldn't?

This is not a real transparent blue colour, it's that blueburst finish which looks classy on the ash veneers. Blueburst was offered as an option on the Plus series basses made between 1989 and 1994. Fender decided to keep Blueburst for the American Deluxe basses for about 3 years before dropping the finish from their colour chart in 1998.
