'Boo!' and such. I slink away, a shattered husk of a man. I shall plot and scheme until finding a way of making images of red Geep Nines haunt your dreams. :rolleyes:

I saw one when they came out (aged 12) and thought it meant I officially lived in 'the future'. :gas:

(Thread hijack over. Sorry, green bass owners.) :blush:

Yes. They were quite the thing when they first came out. My mate bought a brand new one and had it for all of 5 minutes before he wrapped it round a lamp post in Acomb.

Surely, given the flawless scientific proof, this must be close to the ultimate bass (why, oh why, is the headstock black?):



It seems that customers of "hifisoundconnection" in America may not agree, though:

[i]Was: $1297.00[/i]
[i]Savings: - $1098.00 (85%)[/i]
[i]Your Price: $199.00[/i]

I've been thinking of refinishing one of my Thunderbirds. Now that I've been enlightened, I think I may well do it in some kind of Ninja Turtle green, like this American guy's Jackson:

I've developed a product that will enable everyone to experience the tonal superiority of green basses. Chlorophyll impregnated green tape. The chlorophyll, with it's strong light capturing abilities, enables a 2" by 5" strip of tape to capture as much green light, and convert it to tone-enhancing body energy, as a bass painted entirely green. Simply take the tape, and affix it to the front of your bass. (Not the rear as the tape will be shaded by your body and be ineffective.) Strips of chlorophyll bass tape are now available from me for the very low price of only £79.28 a strip. Coming soon - mauve bass amp tape.

I'm afraid you've got your science a bit wrong here AT, things that look green absorb strongly in the blue and red, and hardly at all in the green :(

Ooooooo. I'd forgotten about that one. Always thought it looked ace (and it clearly still does !), but I could never cope with the nut width.
