    The 2 basses I own only came in one colour, saved a lot of frustration.

    I do however miss ice blue and medallion gold.

    I miss the large flake sparkles. I am grateful for the sparkles I was able to get at the time.

    I regret selling my RedRise Sparkle.

    I am glad to own a Blue Dawn Sparkle.

    If only I had both...

    Somehow, all of the colors I love get the axe, or, are limited runs to begin with.
    Trans Orange, and Trans Teal are discontinued, and Venetian Red was limited. The next color I have my eye on is Mint Green.

    '09 Trans Teal SR5 Fretless 02/19/09

    1. I regret not getting a Bongo in Medallion Gold. Had the chance but missed it.

    2. I'm glad I got a Stingray in Burnt Apple. Beautiful bass.

    1) I wish I had even seen some of the sparkle basses at the time. They weren't even on my radar. And, I wish I had picked an SR5 in blueburst (often refered to as Smurf Blue) back in the early '90s.

    2) My trans white SR5 is quite nice and a rare piece.

    1 I would have liked a white Bongo.↲2 all my basses except the black one.
    bovinehost: Yes, I do agree with that, but if there's nothing wrong then there's nothing wrong.
    Beth: I would compare Bongo to Tommy Lee Jones. Bad a$$ and just hot in a weird way...
    cheezewiz: They should take their lace thongs off and play bass.

    Bongo 5 H, Dargie Delight, in some cave somewhere...

    I have the medallion gold bongo -- the smalleq fretless -- very handsome....

    Sold the trans crimson 30th SR -- miss that color.

    Always thought the egyptian smoke looked intriguing.
