Oh, now you've gone and spoiled "Union Jack (Flag)" week!

Here's a white bass that can't get much whiter, Gary Clauson's '98 4003 White with white binding and trim. It was so white, that it overexposed the picture and I can't even fix it in Photoshop! None whiter!

Paul,

I believe that 'None more white' would be the proper way to express the whiteness of that bass.

Does this count? It's a photoshop rendition of what my '00 V63 will look like, after Dale works his magic in the coming weeks. I altered the surround to look like mine, and adjusted the pickguard to look like the custom one Tony [Pickguardian] made for it.
It will be bright white, with the fretboard and headstock wings stained DARK rosewood.
From what I've seen of Dale's work, it should look this good or better... I can't wait!Image

Sean,

I really like that one, and the "None More White" bass above is stunning!

These are all beautiful, but my favorite has got to be Mark Gilbert's. Man that is awesome.
