What Colour is this? or EBMM Bass Finishes Guide

[baabooshka]

I was wondering if anyone could point me to a color name for this, Ive searched high and low and havent really been able to narrow it down. Its not mine,
I love the color and wanted to try and acquire one for myself. Its a late 90s, possibly 97/98 era. It was made? for Mark Hoppus in the band Blink 182. Thank you!

Terrible quality photo because it's hard to get a good shot of the finish. It's cardinal sparkle red. Does anybody know how many of these were made ??? I'm having trouble finding any info on them. Thanks !!!

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

The finish was offered in Sept and Oct 2013. As to numbers, it's hard to say. Ernie Ball doesn't publish this info but it can't be that many with an ordering window of 2 months.

There's a Thread on Cardinal Red:

It's official... Cardinal Red Sparkle is here!

I see 'touch up' bottles of Tangerine Pearl paint (marked as PVE/AVE/VE, whatever that means) on eBay and other places; would that match my Tangerine Pearl Bongo? It's got a dime sized chip on the back I'd like to fix up a bit. Thanks in advance

Mee too... (since Saturday)
Unluckily there is not much information about this absolut amazing looking Series of Instruments from EBMM-Serial-Database based on Serial-Number of mine...:

Edit: Just wrote to the EBMM-Customer-Support, asking about some additional Infos regarding this "uncommon" Series/Instrument...


Edit: Reply from EBMM-Customer-Support:

The String-Through-Body of this Bass is made from "Ash" with a glossy "Mahogany Black" Finish (that's matching to the "MB"-Color-Code in BuildCode), Neck is made from (unroasted) "Maple" as assumed like the "Ebony"-made Fretboard. The "Count of Production" of this Model/Series is not precisely determined by the EBMM-Support-Team, i have read some "diverging" statements in the WWW about that from 50 to 150 "worldwide", but this Series "Limited black Ebony" was meant to shipped only to German distributor, so it was probably not very common worldwide in any case...
