Why... WHY?!!?!!

[adouglas]

... was Desert Gold discontinued??

 

[Aussie Mark]

I'm surprised too, given that Elvis Costello apparently bought one!

 

[adouglas]

LOL!!!! For years my brother looked a WHOLE lot like Elvis Costello back in the day!

Had a few suprizes on the discontinued colors, but i guess out with the old and in with the new.

 

[Big Poppa]

we had a choice between discontinuing colors that sold and ones that didnt and we chose the ones that didnt

 

[adouglas]

Yeah, I figured that was probably the case.

I just don't understand humans sometimes.

dude that's crazy

 

[Basspro]

Woulda sold thousands of these in the 60-70's.Fads "like colors" usually make a comeback eventually, just look at the retros. Yummy

When I went to order a Sterling a few weeks ago I had... 27 colour options?
which is just ridiculous.

I like orange, so I got orange firemist but now there doesn't seem to be anything in that area of colours (translucent gold?). Makes sense to cut the colours that don't sell but I think it's weird to have three different shades of whites and blacks, tobacco burst and vintage burst, but no orange. Maybe that could be said about colours like pink and purple too, but who would buy something so ridiculous

Desert Gold just rocks an a Bongo!

I'd love to see something close to that colour announced at the upcoming winter NAMM. Bongos deserve a more spectacular finish than my bank clerk's family car ... *ducks and runs for cover*

Desert Gold just rocks!

No need for Bongo. I'm glad to have my DG SR4HH RW MHS and it's rare. The only thing I could imagine to be even better was a full rosewood neck paired with Desert Gold.

a desert gold or true gold bongo 5 is exactly what i need to get my MM stable complete for the Moment.

I am really happy i made it for the olive gold Big AL in time....

Or green. Green basses don't sell, or so I'm told....

Seriously, EBMM colors are great. I have yet to see one that isn't even better in person than it is in photos.

Haven't seen TG or OF yet and I'm sure they're amazing. I just have this thing for DG, though.

BY the way green guitars and basses dont sell.....People look here and see the Dargie but we really didnt sell a lot of either..the emrald green JP BFR was the lowest seller

 

[adouglas]

BY the way green guitars and basses dont sell.....

I know, just kidding around. Kudos for making them and giving all of us hardcore types something to drool over.

 

[thatsbassist]

How do you even order dargies? sorry im new

LOL!! that was a good one Mark...

Just joking with you Adouglas, nice shot!

LOL!
You made milk come out my nose...

 

[tkarter]

It lived longer than white bongos did
