Probably due to my conservartive upbringing and my instinctive good taste , I am much too sensible to have ever owned a bass in any of these ridiculous colours . However , that doesn't stop me from casting a sideways glace at them and wondering what it would be like to come home to the offbeat charms of one of these monstrocities . It's like looking at a Chav woman in the supermarket sporting gaudy makeup and offensive children and wondering what it would be like if you gave her a job as your cleaning lady and let her into your home . Would she steal from you and laugh all the way to Cash Converters , or would you end up giving her a special Dingus "Christmas bonus " one afternoon and run away together to start a new life on benefits in Luton ? Could I , Lord Dingus of Nowhere In Particular , really go out in public with a yellow bass ? Or a green one ? Or a woman who buys her clothes from a sports shop ? I've got a red bass , but even that is Fiesta Red , a classic Fender 1960's custom colour , and makes me look a bit like Hank Marvin with clinical depression . Basses in these strong colours are O.K as a novelty , but that would wear off very quickly , I suspect . I love this , though :



Lamborghini Orange . I could live with that . It would go lovely with my brown chocolate cords I got from Gap , too .

that was the hottest outdoor stage in the history of outdoor stages. Sun was pouring right in the front of it, no shade, nowhere to hide. I though I was going to drown.

Seriously good trick to look "cool" in such a place. ta Shell. :)

I got the Orange SR - see profile pic - and I love it. I don't think the yellow one was available when I bought mine. (it looks like the older version with four pots instead of five) I don't think I would have gone for yellow on the SR anyway! :)

Butterscotch Blonde for me too, I'm afraid.
However, some bright mind allowed us some green as well.
Here's a pre-production prototype attempt at a Bongo.
Don't own it, mind.

I've actually got a four string one of these and it's great . I can see how it wouldn't suit everybody , though , that's for sure . Unfortunately , mine's white , not Lamourghini Orange . This one was a one-off custon piece for Randy Jackson . Lucky Randy .

However, I do indeed own this here one cello-thingie, here played by a friend who has it on loan.
A classical musician, she plays it Harnoncourt style:

That's pretty cool

Thanks Ray.

It's my Fretless Boomslang Jive Bass which was designed a few miles up the road from you in Hampton by a South African and made in China!
