What colour is my Bongo?

[philthygeezer]

This was sold to me over the net as Carbon Blue Pearl:

I think the abalone pickguard is throwing me off. From the back it looks like steely gray! Then sometimes I think the blue IS in the paint...

Could it be Sapphire Black or Graphite Pearl??

This is confusing!

EDIT: Good thing I'm not naked in that top pic!

It's really hard to tell. It could go either way.

Post the serial # on Monday, and I will look it up. It's hard to tell from the photos

From the pics I would agree with the seller that it's Carbon Blue Pearl. It'll will be interesting to see Jon's response next week.

 

[MingusBASS]

To me, it looks like Saphire Black in the pics...but maybe it's just the lighting.

You're wrong.

ps looks like a moonstone pg?

 

[TSanders]

I had a StingRay in that color combo.

Its sapphire black with a moonstone pickguard.

I own a CBP Bongo with moonstone PG. The one in the photos has a moonstone pg for sure and it fits very well with CBP. Hard to tell about the colour of the bass. I remember photos of Bassmonkeees black saphir 5 that looked like CBP due to the light.

On my crappy monitor here at work it looks like Sapphire Black. At home, on my good monitor, it looks like CBP.

 

[roballanson]

Sapphire black for me too....

I'm with Larry, almost sure enough that its Carbon Blue Pearl that I'd bet my Desert Gold Bongo on it.

Well now we just gotta break up the parts of Pete's Bongo 5. I'll take the neck and pickguard.
