A personal explanation of why green basses are the best and have the best tone

[Bolo]

Finally.

[LukeFRC]

you know how there's always a few basses that pop up in the for sale section every so often.
I've always been tempted by this Hamer that pops up every so often - this is Warwickhunt's photo - who knows who has it now

[Billy Apple]

Load of rubbish. Green is un-seasoned wood, or green wood if you will. Wet, heavy and toneless. The only 'tone-optimum' finish is a 3 tone sunburst.

Add in a tort guard and double denim and you've reached tone nirvana.

[police squad]

damnit you buggers. I'll have to buy something green now. 38 guitars and basses in my house hold and not a greeny in sight

[TheSiberian]

Roxanne...you have to put on the green light!

Everyone knows that Red basses go faster though...

That's a funny old way to sit on the toilet!

I have 3 green basses and with get them all together and take a pic soon.

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.

It's the same with bikes. A green Kawasaki is always faster than the same bike in a different colour. It's the law.

Why do you think I'm having my Thunder Jet refinished in green?

[Weststarx]

I have to say I have to agree with this whole thread.

Getting my black P Bass refinished to some sort of green!

I was passing time in GuitarGuitar and tried it out. It blew me away and I went home without it and pined. Went back a day later and just bought it. I knew I wouldn't be able to get another one and it's a keeper. I'm getting a clear pickguard made too.

It's a beauty... It just looks so well proportioned as a five string.

Mr. Tee agrees with the OP.

My first sighting of a Thinline bass. Best looking one on the site, thanks for the pic, but not for the GAS generated. Pity it's green, though. [size=4] [/size]

Dennis agrees:

My first fiver was an RBX765a in this color, through a green cable into a green vinyl covered pedal board, through another green cable then into my trace stack (AH400SMX gp12, 410 & 115). I always thought it sounded almost perfect but not quite. I now realise that the missing ingredient was this outfit all along!

There's an exception to every rule, and in this case it was the GPZ9 which looked very silly in green.

I don't have a green bass, but am kind of wishing I did, now.

As you were.
