Annoying Twit Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I point out this listing only because as the J&D bass threads show, this seems to be a very popular colour for basses. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hofner-bass-blue-green-/251437594347?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3a8ad936eb Quote
discreet Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Turquoise? Or Seafoam Green... or is it Sonic Blue? Quote
Immo Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Certainly not turquoise. Seafoam green or mint green maybe. Quote
Annoying Twit Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) It looks turquoise on my monitor. Though, from the J&D threads, the other colours described seem popular too. Edited January 29, 2014 by Annoying Twit Quote
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 David Icke might be able to tell you Quote
BigRedX Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Sonic Blue? There's nothing remotely sonic about that colour. Wishy-washy pastel blue maybe, but definitely not at all sonic. Quote
Immo Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Amazing how the colour perception depends on the person and the monitor Quote
Prime_BASS Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 [quote name='Immo' timestamp='1391016771' post='2352328'] Turquise JB [/quote] Fender have that listed as Caribbean mist. Quote

[/quote] Yeah, I see this on my other monitor (@work). Ocean Turquoise Jazz Bass, this time for sure Anyway, in my "drawer" I have a lefty P-Bass neck with headstock in intense turquoise colour and rosewood fingerboard. Gonna find a decent body for that baby, it looks awesome. Edited January 30, 2014 by Immo Quote
Annoying Twit Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 I've just seen a TV programme about people living on Sark. One lady was swimming in the sea, which was an amazing shade of turquoise. Then the thought occurred to me that I'd better not mention this on basschat or there will be a big long conversation about exactly what word describes the bluey greeny shade of the sea water Quote
mcnach Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1391024888' post='2352448'] Sonic Blue? There's nothing remotely sonic about that colour. Wishy-washy pastel blue maybe, but definitely not at all sonic. [/quote] hmmm, if you look at some of the other pictures in the auction, some do look more blue, in a sonic blue kind of blue indeed. My classic player strat, in sonic blue like this: has that sort of hue too. Quote
