An idea for a finish

Hi all! I'm new to the forums. Been looking around for a while, and thought I might join the community. Ernie ball seems to be a great place, and my next bass will definitely be one.

I was taking a shower, and I started thinking about how cool camouflage is, and how it looks cool as a finish.

Then I started thinking about Music Man's amazing finishes-specifically the translucent ones. (my favorite being pacific blue burst)
how cool would a translucent camo finish be? Like, tran green and natural on ash.

Not suggesting anything, just wondering what you think.

Ah, the Old Guy LTD edition. I'm just afraid I'd lose it if I put it down in the woods someplace (actually have lost stuff that way).

Damn!! I was hoping to be first with the "How would you find it" joke!!

It's an interesting look, but would it look messy on stage under lights?

Thanks Jodizzle.

the finish on that bass is exactly like what I was thinking, except a bit more understated and translucent-kinda patchy.

as for urban camo, let's add some butterscotch and call it calico!

lol at the lost jokes.

I imagine Ted Nugent ordering a few of the 6 stringed variety.
