Off Topic Tangerine Pearl eye candy

[adouglas]

I can't be sure having never actually seen it, but I think that Tangerine Pearl is close to a Mopar (Dodge/Chrysler for those of you unfamiliar with the term) color.

For some nice automotive Tang Pearl eye candy do a Google image search on "hemi orange."

Some of the pics make a pretty compelling case for a black pickguard on that color.

I won't post any photos here because none of 'em are EBMM-related.

I just saw that a couple of weeks ago. Looks like it's about time to start thinking about a new bass!! I agree, a black pick guard would be bad ass on that color.

Only uber-cool artists and those with ghod-like powers get bumped to the front of the line. Since neither of those attributes applies to me, I get to wait like the rest of us.

Did you see this?

Wow!

That looks really pale. Is it an accurate representation?

Yeah, that main shot is not that appealing to me. Looks very different from the SR5 shot in another thread. Almost as if it were more pearl than orange. I suspect it's because TPB uses very bright, white lighting.

I emailed Pete D and sent him both the Al photo and that SR5 photo. He was at NAMM and saw the Tan P Bongo. He said:

"Yes I have seen the color in person and those are both terrible photos. It is an extremely vibrant color with a lot of pearl - similar to Orange FireMist only brighter and more vibrant. "

Anyone see this pic?

 

[Runnerman]

oooohhhh that's sweet!

 

[melvin7822]

Indeed it does look very sweet. I think I've come down with Tango fever, or more specifically Tango Bongo fever! I've now ordered two Bongo 5s in tangerine pearl: a fretless Hp with black pickguard and fretted HHp with white pearloid pickguard.

Congrats melvin. I think the white pg looks awesome....see you're selling your black roaster.

I do believe, A Douglas, that you have GAS extremely badly!! BTW there is a good approximation in UK - search on Ford Focus RS (there is an orange option with black trim) - Have you decided on a pg colour yet for this bass?

I placed an order with Pete DuBaldo about two weeks ago.

Due, oh, sometime. Eventually. I refuse to mark the calendar.

Well done and nice choice - I hadn't picked up on that. Just three or four months to go then?
