Question Dargie's Apparent Color-Changing

[Thudstaff]

First post here, and I did try to find the answer via the search function.

I've wanted some verson of the Dargie when I first heard about them a few years ago. Now that time has passed and I actually have the money, I may just pull the trigger. My current main bass is a G&L Tribute L-2500 with flats. I'm leaning towards the Bongo 5 HH.

Now...about that paint.

What's up with these pics? I don't recall seeing pics like this posted anywhere else. Is this color-changing legit? If so, I love it!!

Just figured I'd ask the experts.

Yes.
That was the part of the special deal you get with the LTD edition Dargie basses.
I like it.

Yep, it's legit.

The first-run Dargies were Logan Green (sometimes called Martini Olive Green) and the Dargie 2nd Edition has this wild-ass color flipping paint.

Thanks for confirming this.

I now have to ask myself if it's worth the premium for that paint job. Me thinks it is.

I ordered mine a week or two ago. And its due to arrive on the 1st. I can't wait for it!

It's not just a paint job. You get an ebony fretboard and pau abalone inlays.

Where did you order it from?

He didn't order it as much as he bought it from some place that has one in stock. The usual suspects.

Dude...I know you.

Got it from The Perfect Bass.

It's with a friend on the way here right now.
Oh mines a Bongo 4 HH.

I suggest you get the Bongo 5 HHP if they still have it in stock. The piezo really adds more tonal options.

Dude, I know.

Boom!
