    I think BP said a few years ago that green basses don't sell.

    The Dargies were an abberation, built pretty much just for the knuckleheads.

    I'd love to see a British Racing Green Bongo, though....

    ...... or a Seafoam Green one with maple fingerboard..... oooooouuuuu seXXXy!!

    My deepest apologies for the below example, its not an EBMM (I am sorry BP I'll send you a drink voucher to forgive me) and I have blanked both the headstock or any recognisable marks, even my son (picturd) seem to love that bass.

    If there was a similar colour combo I would buy it regardless of model/pickup configuration/shape/form

    That sterling sure is the cats pyjamas, and DD is just a great finish, but I would LOVE to see some regular production green finishes in the future. I love green.

    And captmoto, you are being very careful round here now aren't you! But that looks like a PRS to me...

    I'm not a fan of seafoam green, but a dark "forrest green" metalic is really nice, especially with a tortoise shell pickguard. I'm not sure I could see it on one of the MM models, but it does look pretty nice on J-style basses.

    Yep. With a yellow stripe, like those beautiful Lotus F1 cars of the mid-60s, before the era of aerodynamics began. Really pure racing machines.
