Gunsmoke Silver

[DaPatrooch]

Ok, who else thinks this is one of the coolest colors in EBMM history? I was just watching Dream Theater Live at Budokan and JP's Gunsmoke JP7 was...smokin! How awesome does the JP look in that color? Really awesome!

So my question is was this a limited run or one off thing, and any chances of bringing it back? And is it the color of John Myung's Bongo 6's (and the 5 he used last year for that matter)?

If this color was available I would grab up a JP in a heartbeat, I would do whatever it took for the cash haha.

If I remember correctly, even ernie1966 hasn't been able to grab a gunsmoke JP, which is saying something.

Yep, you is kee-rrect.

I let a stripped down 7 pass through my fingers a couple of years ago, stupid me.

Not the same color as Myung's Bongos. The 5 was Egyptian Smoke (at least the one you see in the "The Dark Eternal Night" studio footage). The silver Bongo 6 is a new color entirely.

JM's Bongo 6 is 'flat silver'...

That's right! Non gloss flat Silver!

This is Gunsmoke Silver!

Close, but not quite the same!!!

Here's one I missed:

Foggy, a nice pic to add to you library.

I'm shocked that there is a color that Ernie doesn't have!

I figured you had all of them with your 43? JP guitars!!

 

[fogman]

Awesome pic Ernie!!!! Thanks.
I do wish EBMM still had some kind of silvery offering.

As you already know. I'm the master of waiting.

If that comes to pass, I will be very excited.

Oh, Gunsmoke Silver, how you tempt me so
With your reflective surface like glassy snow
I wish, I pray, that you be mine
But, alas, I'm poor, and it is not yet the time...

Yeah, I love that colour. A LOT.

Are those John Myung's basses? They look like his. Is that his house?! Is that you in the picture?

 

[TNT]

Yeah,

I really like the "flat silver"!!

The only thing is , I need to always include "creme" binding in the mix - and that changes everything!

I think that's Dan of EBMM Customer Service- If I'm not mistaken?

That looks like EBMM's own Kevin at the Coachella facility with John Myung's basses. That picture was taken around the time of these from the San Luis Obispo facility: http://www.ernieball.com/forums/ernie-ball-music-man-artists/25925-john-petrucci-john-myung-full-photos-ernie-ball-music-man-factory-tour.html

It was this pic that got me hooked on getting a Silver JP.

I had to settle for this Silver Sparkle, which is still uber cool.
(Plus JP held it too ) :

Man!! Gunsmoke silver would be awesome....I always wanted a JP in that color, but i would love to see a BFR version of it though.
