Glad you like it, I believe its commonly referred to by EB as the ugliest finish they ever made. One came up on ebay a few months ago, thats where the Pics I have came from.

Didn't see one of these in the list...

That's "Old Blue Bassman" Dave's rootbeer SR.

Maybe it doesn't qualify for this thread, being pre-EB.

HOW!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

If another metal flake brown comes up anywhere, I call dibs on it.

Paul, while I'm thinking about it, Dargin has a solid Logan Green Bongo and I know he has decent pics of it somewhere. You should annoy him about it.

Metalflake Brown was a personal favorite of mine...

but -- it was damn ugly to most people and didn't sell for peanuts..

Dude, these are the available colors.

And this shows which colors are available for what instrument.

There aren't too many green color options, but you migth want to check out Teal Pearl a nice metalic green color.

Hope this helps, Glenn |B)

**GWDavis28** · 05-10-2006, 09:26 AM

Nah I'm pretty sure it up to date. They are suppose to be revamping the Music Man website. They talked about better pictures and color representations.

Teal Pearl is a great color.

Good luck, Glenn |B)

**GWDavis28** · 05-10-2006, 11:40 AM

Foggy, we need some comparisons of Egyptian Smoke, Trans Green and Teal Pearl.

I man's stuck in a dilemma.

I am considering a Sterling in Medallion Gold. I have seen some pics where it looks more like this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...n/IMG_0612.jpg

.......and some where it looks more like this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...d/IMG_2976.jpg

So, it seems there is a big difference. Or is it just the light these pics were taken in? I prefer more of a lemony yellow than a toasted marshmallow color. If it's closer to toasted marshmallow, then I might have to consider a different color.

The first pic (mine) is a more accurate reflection. I have also seen the bongo in the other pic in person and cab verify that it looks exactly like mine if you have any doubt.

This is another pic of my bass and pretty accurate. All in all it is a fantastic colour.
