Axis 30th Anniversary

When was Sky Blue available?

I can't specifically comment on the Bongo but "Sky Blue" was announced as a new colour in Jan 2011 and was discontinued (for some instruments) for orders after 31 Oct 2015.

Light Blue is one of my favourite colours for a bass hence refinishing StingRay in Daphne Blue, all time favourite.
Sky Blue wasn’t an option though lol :p

Didn’t think it was. There were definitely some bold and interesting colours at that time though, I still want a Desert Gold Bongo.
Am I right in saying that there were three types of gold finish in the first year ? Desert, Medallion and there was a shade between the two ? But that could be different years as well though. Not sure

There was Desert Gold, which is bright orange (and my first Bongo). Can't remember if there was an actual golden paint job at the beginning though.

No quite possibly not 2003 but pretty close after it. Desert Gold is the classic Bingo colour. What configuration was yours again?
