Axis 30th Anniversary

If you could bring back any LE color, which one would it be?

Envy Red. But if I could bring back any color, it would be Metal Flake Green or Trans. Purple.
 
You can make your own relic bass...just get the grinder out or some sandpaper and get to work!!
 
Oh hell... the moment EBMM starts doing relic/NOS/lightly used instruments like another company tried is the moment I stop playing them. I think it is a horrible marketing idea to take an instrument built with current "aged" parts, beat the crap out of the instrument, age it, everything they do to it, and then sell it for $7k or whatever. I can do that to one of their $400 models on my own time!

But as far as what EBMM could bring back that I would love, I would love to see Envy Green or a similar dark green shade (or any green, really) or a purple appear on the color options list. Any of the sparkles would be great for the next or and more subsequent LEs, or just something really freaky... like Big Poppa Chrome... would look like him on a Bongo...

I agree with you Basscontrol about the R@lics/NOS etc, But Unfortunately people are buying them and the market is getting bigger so as a marketing excercise it has been a success.

My take is earn your own battle scars on your instrument.
 
they're not LE colours, but I really love Pearl Blue (not the Blue Pearl) and of course Stratus Blue Sparkle!!!
 
Oooh what a toughie... As LE's I would like to see Buttercream back, but in terms of other colours, I miss certain sparkles and would also like to see Lavender Pearl again :)
 
I would say 2006 Black/Gold so that I could get a 2006LE AL with rosewood.

Though it's not technically one of the now-seemingly annual LEs, I would say DD in MOG so that I could get a DD AL with rosewood.
 
butter cream, its just amazing.....with that tort PG.....its mealt in the mouth
there has been some great photos of bongos in the last few week in the butter cream and they look great

I don't in any way think that Lime Green would be a big seller - to say the very least - but it certainly appeals to me.

Amen brother. I'd sell the Dachshund that's sitting on my lap for a silo in that color... ok maybe not, I think he knows I'm talking about him now :D

I wouldn't mind gunsmoke or las vegas gold coming back, and buttercream also.
 
Sparkkles of course!!!!!

I'd say Gold sparkle, Black sparkle or of course Stratos Blue like Dweezal Zappa's AL!!

Or Lisa Loebs Pink Sparkle AL!!!!

Glenn, lover of sparkles!!! |B)
