Could not resist--coming home soon

[Kirby]

Man, since I saw this on Ebay, I have been thinking about it. Did not have a trans purple and since purple is my favorite color, I had to go for it. It ships Monday! WOO HOO!

This reminds me of the good ol' Prince:
Purple Ray, Purple Ray!

nice!!! congrats

I had a trans purple SR5 a while back - great finish!

Congrats.

 

[Kirby]

Thanks guys! I have never seen this finish close up, but this one looks like it is dead mint. The seller claims no chips or scratches and a mint case so I am pretty psyched. My Dargie and this should both arrive next week hopefully, should be a great week!

I was gonna get a Trans Purple SR5, but it already sold by the time I emailed about it.

Nice color though.

 

[Dr Stankface]

Oh I don't like you.....



Sweet score!

 

[Oh! Henry]

I was watching that auction too, Love the color! It looks like a grape lollypop, had I bought it I probably would have licked it.

 

[Bassplyr]

How long ago was that color discontinued? I say they make a Purple sparkle for the next LE color!! That would be the bomb.

 

[Kirby]

Thanks BP! Keep up the great work with the awesome product!

I am more of a traditionalist when it comes to my basses, the Bongo is not quite my style. They sound great, but just not me. Good thing there are so many other choices!

Yes, the color does look like a grape tootsie roll pop!

Sorry BP, not Jones. I did meet you at NAMM in Nashville a couple years ago though. Looking forward to meeting you again, maybe at a future open house?

the bongo will eventually win you over when tone is supreme bongo reigns

Ha! My bad BP. I am not ruling out a Bongo by any means, just too many others to concentrate on for now!

Hey Kirby, I couldn't get this one outta my head either, that's why I kept bidding. I even named it "Gilbert" - ie Gilbert Grape (from the Johhny Depp movie) LOL

Great score. Obviously the bass has gone to a good home

BTW, I agree that purple should be reinstated and released as a limited edition - it would look amazing on an unlined fretless model.

Cheers

Andy

Thanks Andy! Since all of my basses have names to help distinguish cases, I think this one may have to stay named Gilbert!
