I've never heard anything of it's like before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 A fancy name to try and persuade you to buy what is in reality a rather dull coloured bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 For some reason I thought that colour was called Prussian Blue (it isn't) so I looked up that phrase on Google images ... and got this. [attachment=79959:prussian_blue.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz666 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Triumph used to do a "Nuclear Red" which was metallic pink. Not many sold as I remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottomEndian Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Not quite the same thing, but the thread title put me in mind of Howard the Bass Doc's story of a (presumably non-bass-playing) visitor to his old shop. Admiring a sunburst bass hanging on the wall, said visitor proclaimed, "I love the way the colour just... f***s off." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
