EB/MM Colours & cars.....Jon?Scott?Derek??

[Psychicpet]

Hi guys, I was just noticing the new off-white colour on a new Dodge Magnum and it looks kinda close to the new Buttercream finish. I was just wondering, do you do any kind of recon. into the automotive field and such for new colour ideas??

And while you're at it .... what kind of paint do you use on the basses and guitars? Are they automotive finishes? PPG? Sherwin Williams? Dupont? Glasurit? Standox? Sikkens?

I cast my vote for the next special ed. to be HUMMER Yellow. Sign me up for the first SR5.

We did have a color called Gremlin Green...Never made it to production

I was tempted by a special edition lava Scion xB that would match my lava pearl Bongo.

It may have been a joke, but I'd get in line for a "Hummer Yellow" SR5, black guard, yellow knobs.

Oh it's no joke, Mister! Except I think a chrome p/g would be cool!

Would that be OSHA Caution Yellow? that is way too cool !!!! Well Jon, the vote is out, The Caution Yellow Bongo or SR5 for 2005 or 06 !!!

Ive seen a few Gremlin Green sparkles around....

Wish my bass had the same color as a "COOL" big bute of a car or suv... but no, mine shares its heritage with this small tincan on wheels. (Great bass! Tiny, Whimpy Car!)

I once built a P bass to match my 79 Trans Am. Blue. Sorry no pix. I was having my spoiler corner pieces repainted and they charged my $75 to paint the bass body. That bass is long gone.

Oddjob, you got a full frontal of the bass in your avatar?

I can't se it on the MM colour chart anymore

 

[MingusBASS]

The average person can not get that color. It was custom and I belive there were 3 basses made in that color. Oddjob won it on ebay to help out a charity. So it wouldn't be on any chart.

Here it is (1 of 3... I know 1 of the another one is a HH and is with the guy from Trick Pony... I am assuming the 3rd is an HS and its whereabouts are unknown)... awesome bass!!! It is just knid of funny... you see Hummer Yellow, Ferarri Red... and lowly Aveo Green

 

[Mobay45]

I don't care what car they got the color from that is one awesome looking Bongo!

I usually don't like the mirrored pickguards but I think that one looks the best with it.

 

[JB1]

I know Jon , Jack & Co get fed up with requests for colours, but I'd iike to see that in production.

I guess OddJob wouldn't

 

[bovinehost]

I love that green.

I don't really get "fed up" with the questions about colors that are no longer in production, but wassa point? If people had been buying sparkles and whatever other discontinued color, the company would still be making them.

Plus....I have some suspicions that colors get dropped because retailers don't THINK they'll be popular and so don't order them in any quantity. So that may or may not reflect the reality of what we regular old bassists would buy.

Nonetheless, that's how it works, so....
