I work in education. You’d be surprised how much more chill the boys get, and how much nicer the girls are, when I wear a pink shirt to work. A red shirt, by contrast, seems to set them off a bit. I think whoever “discovered” color theory was truly on to something.

In color psychology, red is a primal stimulant. Pink very definitely is not.
From a strictly personal perspective, I much prefer red. Pink doesn’t do anything for me. But to each his own.

I get that. Used to hate pink in my younger days. The red shirt I don’t wear a lot for that reason (primal stimulant), although I just appreciate being able to wear something other than the typical corporate white or sky blue, you know? They also absolutely love the black shirts. Why, though, I haven’t figured out yet. Black jacket? Nothing. Black shirt? Comments galore.

Black shirts make a statement. Even button-downs have attitude.
I like rocking red shirts, but I’m not a teacher.

Pink could mean I like pink and don’t care what anyone thinks but in a fun way, or it could mean I love both my sisters who survived breast cancer. Take you pick.
If ESP made basses in twinkle pink I would have one.

Simon Gallup played a pink Schecter for a bit. I would love to have any one of his signature Spitfires, but this pink one is my favorite.

Burnt orange is the University of Texas Longhorn color. Another reason for you to move to Austin, @Al1885.
I’ve got no kids but I do have a lady who loves pink.
Pink floats her boat. Not so much for my dinghy.

Dane Jackson has paddled a custom coloured pink kayak for years. Pink is OK in my book.

Here’s my setup in my bassment.
- 2008 Squier VM '70s JB
- 2008 Dean Zone ZOXMB
- Yamaha TRBX504
My daughter gave me the Squier for Christmas (along w/ a Fender Rumble 25) a couple of years ago. She knew I’ve always wanted to learn to play bass, and this was the perfect present. It’s what got me to join BassBuzz and become a badass bassist! I’ll never get rid of it for those reasons.
The Dean I picked up at an estate sale. My wife and I like going to estate sales around us and have picked up many items at great deals this way. The Dean is an inexpensive bass that they were taking offers for. I offered $60 and they called me the next day to say I won it! I was pleasantly surprised by just how well it played after some new strings and a bit of tweaking. It’s the bass I have been learning how to maintain them all.
The Yami I bought from a local guy that used it sparingly for a few months when recording in his home studio (he’s a guitarist and keyboard player). He used it for a couple of months and packed it up, and it was sitting in it’s box for a few years, and he decided to sell it. While I don’t care for the color, I LOVE playing it - it my favorite to play. Took it to a luthier to have it set up (before I was sure of my own abilities), and it’s usually the first one I reach for to play.
I also have a Peavey TKO 115S and a Zoom B1X Four to mess around with.

After rediscovering my love for bass over the last few months I finally did it and aquired my dream bass! It’s a Sterling by Music Man S.U.B. Sting Ray 4 MG and I just love how it sounds and feels and looks and everything about it! I’m so happy I finally did this. :]

So do I! I wanted to get a more funky and spacey design.

I was able to sit down with a Rascal today. It’s not for me because of the size, but I bet for people who play full scale normally it is probably the perfect short scale to buy. It’s a very unique hybrid.
The sound though? Amazing. If they put these same humbuckers in a true short scale, I’ll gladly give them lots of money.
The Rascal also looks great in person. It’s incredibly well made. The nicest Squier I saw today.

Do you normally play short scale basses?
