The Dargie III

[tunaman4u2]

I can't wait for the next PDN release... I hope its some awesome birdseye maple... Sterling 5HS, here we come!

My grandmother had a clock with radium painted hands. That paint has a half life of 1600 years!
Unfortunately the product is known to cause cancer by the State of California (and everyone else) so a Dargie in that color would be out of the question.

What are you talking about? All Dargies HAVE that colour!
(sadly, the dots don't glow in the dark though, so I always keep spotlights on me, myself, I.)

best,

The gun sights pictured are actually not glow-in-the-dark. They use plastic rods that capture ambient light -- fiber optic. In the dark, they don't show up.

Self-luminescent night sights contain little glass vials of tritium gas, which is in fact mildly radioactive but has a relatively short half-life. They start to dim after five years or so and have to be replaced. Much less hazardous than radium.

They have such a high bar to beat... Not envious of these guys but after the last release I can't buy another other bass before I see what comes next

Sterling 5 HS maple... come on baby... lets do this!

They are close in color but radium has that "ooo look at me" factor when the lights go out!

Tritium glows in the dark without being exposed to light. Or the ones on my gun sights do.

[Runnerman]

That is correct, tritium is self luminescent, not photo-luminescent which requires light exposure.

Just figured I'd resurrect this thread as Big Poppa hasn't gotten in on it yet for whatever reason.

To quote Adrian Belew, "Well, don't hold your breath 'cause it'll make you blue."

If there is one thing that Musicman is known for, it's rehashing the same thing over and over.

Oh, wait. That's exactly what they don't normally do. Frankly, I was surprised by Dargie 2. I really wouldn't expect a third iteration. Not with the PDN stuff blowing minds.

Hes too busy rubbing his meat

They did it!! They flippin' did it! It might not be the Dargie III, but I am quite alright with the Emerald Series! Thanks EB!

Green basses don't sell.

Green basses don't sell.

Are You sure?

Lord Bongo just ordered a Bongo in green sparkle color (Facebook info)!

My younger son has the DD2 Big Al, and I really like the oval inlays on that run. But, those martini glasses are the coolest inlays EVER.
