Green Basses Don't Sell, And Yet...

[the explode man]

I have two Dargies, the next bass I buy will likely be Charging Green, the other green basses are unlikely to become available ...

At this point I can't imagine owning a bass that isn't green.

I have the Dargie I, II and an Emerald Green! However, I'm all about the Sterlings, so I wish they would start offering the newer finishes on those instead of just giving the Stringrays love.

Interestingly, Green is the 2nd most preferred color among men, and 3rd most preferred among women.

I am not sure I believe that chart. It's unusual to see red so low.

Maybe there was a Dargie Delight 3 appearance in the BFR NAMM room this past Jan..

Ya I was kinda hoping they would have introduced the Charging Green option for the Stingray guitar as well.

I am really loving the Charging Green. I need a backup for my Stingray, right?

I was looking for a different study that I recalled about green being the most popular color for children, but I couldn't find it. I thought it might explain something about green bass enthusiasts like myself.

This is where that graphic came from, not a great methodology, but 1,695 responses is a reasonably large study. Results | What's your favorite color?

Ut Oh...

Ut Oh...

Ut Oh... is right... Maybe I really need to wait longer than I thought before ordering anything new..

 

[Dargin]

That's about a year away..Don't wait THAT long.

That's about a year away..Don't wait THAT long.

That's my plan. To not wait that long.

I got the go-ahead from the wife to order myself a new bass. I'm having such a hard time picking a color because all of them are so good!

My DD1 Bongo & DD2 Big Al could use a new friend!

What color does your wife like.

Some of us might have to save that long, but it is good to have goals right

Black/maple?

That's the one I want! xD Yeah.. boring huh? I can't help it though, black/maple Stingrays are just too sexy to me. I already have a black/ebony BFR Stingray, but I want one with a maple fretboard. And if the new one becomes my main, I want it to be black. My BFR is 10 lbs

 

[Wim Laven]

I had a dream about a fretless Bongo 5h last night... it was a DD3...

Who the hell said green basses don't sell?

Does this count as green also - in which case I will be joining that exclusive band of EBMM green bass aficionados as I have an HH version of this on order - looks a great colour to me!!

 

[Dargin]

DrT, nah that's Teal. Charging Green is green.

 

[drTStingray]

DrT, nah that's Teal. Charging Green is green.

Ah thanks Scott - guess I'm only dipping my toe in the 'green bass' water with the Cruz teal - almost blue for some people. I'll leave the charging green to the professional green bass guys like Bovinehost..... I might be snared by a DD3 if it happens at some point though!!!
