But seriously. Yellow bass...

[syciprider]

Yellow sparkle! I am seriously considering letting Marty Bell spray one of these for me.

Sometimes I get the urge to buy an old beat up Stingray to get it refin'd too haha

 

[MattOfSweden]

like this?

MrM

What, they already did one?
That's lovely, though in the spirit of making wishes I'd add some flame to the maple board, go with chrome hw, and probably take down the color intensity a bit. Like the sound of banana pudding yellow...

 

[strummer]

rosewood necked bongo will have its natural headstock so it might just be the most perfect bass to do this to.. no headstock that needs repainting and new logos..

My thought exactly!
And then do another jasontrick, filling the PG screw holes and gluing heads to the PG then stick it on with 2-sided tape.
As you said, Ideas ideas...

+1 for yellow sparkle. I wish BP would do a whole rainbow of sparkle finishes, but I have a better chance seeing pigs fly huh?

 

[drTStingray]

+1 for a pale yellow Bongo or even a Stingray (perhaps a Classic?) or Sterling - IMO chrome hardware + white pg would be good (Fiesta yellow + white roof is a sought after colour for a classic Mini Cooper and shows the contrast well - sought after cos they're rare - didn't sell well ).

Brighter yellow for a Bongo would be very cool also

Not sure any would sell well!!

Yesterday I was cleaning up, restringing, and taking apart a 1979 Oly White or creme Stingray (for photographs) that I acquired a while ago. The bass has yellowed a lot. Not really sure that I like the colour (spelled correctly) that much, but to each their own. But I really came to like the Dargie Delight I colour a lot over time, so maybe I would learn to like a yellow bass to0.

Hot...........Well Ummmmmmmm.. NOT! Yuck, OK running back and hiding on the skinny string side

 

[jlepre]

I don't see what the big deal is....it worked for THIS guy:

or THIS one?

 

[MadMatt]

I don't care much for yellow but inlays with notes is pretty cool! Sure would improve my playing

 

[five7]

If the price was right, yes. I have always wanted to refinish a musicman. Because there is no way I would leave it yellow.

 

[keko]

Why not Yellow pearl, or sparkle, ...especially for Bongo and reflex?

 

[jlepre]

Yellow Reflex with black binding...mmmmmmmmmmm

 

[laneline]

I'd get a banana yellow Stingray 5 HH with a maple board and vintage pearloid pick guard.

Gotta' +1 on that, with a natural headstock.

 

[MrMusashi]

i would buy one... in new york

MrM

ps: if anybody in italy is interested in the yellow sr4 i posted mogarmusic.it stocks them

 

[Scraggy]

this has been always my favorite color on a bongo

 

[ptg]

Young guy - Hated Yellow

Now old guy - Love Yellow! (Even owned a yellow Mini Cooper.)

Hot!

(And, man I hate to keep agreeing with Jack, I also liked Heinz so my opinion is probably, well...suspect.)

 

[Tollywood]

...with Margarita inlays. Definitely hot.

I'd love to buy a new Ball with cool inlays...

 

[nurnay]

I'd love a Ferrari yellow classic SR5 w/ black hardware. Yeah, I know, that takes away the whole "classic" angle, but still...

 

[J Romano]

How about Mellow Yellow, oops sorry, wrong direction....... Flash back from my youth
