It looks as though it's still damp to me. 

But yeah, tortoise shell scratch plates are another abomination that should be erased from existence. They really are offensive. Paired with a turdburst bass, two wrongs don't make a right, they make wrong squared.

Have we had bowelburst yet?

@Osiris is the time to bring out Goldringer/Lannister to see if it’s more offensive than Bowel contents......and we can prove he does plop Gold....

[Stub Mandrel]

Skidmark.

Khaki (pronounced 'cacky').

Senna Chocolate.

[AndyTravis]

The centre of this bass needs some of that burst

[Maude]

Let's bring it into this century with a funky up to date name. All this burst this and burst that is so twentieth century. 

How about 'Colon Squeeze' or 'Evacuation Splash'. 

[sprocketflup]

Cant be arsed ( pun intended) to read the thread, what colour does your mate say it is?

 

 

[LukeFRC]

this is a brown bass ... https://www.andybaxterbass.com/collections/music-man-basses/products/1978-music-man-stingray-walnut 

 

 

I also have played it twice and it's one of the most amazing instruments I've ever played. Stunning. 
So much so you can forgive it it's colour

[Stub Mandrel]

Perhaps I need to be more evocative...

Evening Enema.

Vibrant Vindaloo.

Double Dysentery.

Out of the question

Unforgivable, I hope you washed thoroughly after each time you played it

Nope, I am way too shallow. I couldn't live with that.

Is that the prototype Musicman Bongo?

Definitely not...... and you'd be banned from Talkbass if you posted that there.

Its actually a bad bass copy of a guitar Ronnie Wood played (or mimed with - apparently it didn't work) on TOTP at the beginning of the 70s.

Its also a bit of an old joke started by some people on Talkbass at the beginning of the 2000s - I've always thought that anyone who hadn't noticed that all electric guitars have this shape at the bridge end, and the only other features on an MM Bongo which differ from that are the rounded edges and  pickguard shape are either anti Musicman or have some sort of toilet fetish (there are a lot of things in life with an oval shape)!!!!

Just remember all sunburst basses and particularly those with tort pickguards are BROWN - my Mrs says so and who am I to argue 😂😁 lets hope anyone who plays one doesn't think of excreta every time they pick their bass up. 

As I said before, brown was a popular car colour in the 70s, hence Fender and Musicman doing the walnut colour in the late 70s. Don't let that put you off - as Luke said those pre EB Stingrays are great. Or do you have major problems putting brown shoes on as well 😧

Im thinking this thread had gone a little anti - Musicman - one thing their basses and particularly the Bongo don't do is sound like the sort of things which do go on in the toilet - which is something some basses do.

The word begins with F btw 😏

Do indeed. That is why i dislike sunburst. Actually I have a G&L which is a sunburst but that is far more orange than anything else.

Yep  - not a fan of brown shoes. We had a brown car in the 70s. My dad had his silver fox cortina painted stinky poo coloured with a diarrhoea orange coloured vinyl roof.

I hadn't noticed that, being not that bothered about these brands, but I am guessing by the name you might be a little oversensitive to percieved criticism

I would love a bongo.. just not in brown!

[Cuzzie]

Not sure it’s Anti Musicman, but apparently pre EB means pre Eviscerated Bowelburst

If they choose the majority of the colours to be in the palette of Brown.............well.........

You're absolutely 100% right.

The Musicman Bongo bears absolutely NO resemblance to a toilet seat whatsoever. I can't see anything remotely loo-seat-like about it:

EDIT: Sorry, it appears I'm wrong, the Music Man actually concede this on their own website:

Quote

The Bongo

In the beginning the Ernie Ball Music Man Bongo Bass came out to the consternation of many. The industry and press asked, “What is this strange toilet-seat-looking UFO bass? Is this some kind of lost Alembic design?” yet despite its quirks the Bongo has always been a tonal monster and extremely versatile expression tool.

@drTStingray There's no anti Musicman agenda, we're just having a bit of fun. Puerile perhaps but nothing malicious 😀

But for the record, I personally don't like brown basses. That includes sunburst. I don't like brown shoes either, brown brogues in particular are awful. They look like Crocs. But not everything brown upsets me, I regularly eat my own substantial weight in Dairy milk and gravy is the food of the gods. Oh, and Newcastle brown ale.  But toilet humour I can do. But that's just me and my misguided opinions!

OK, all jokes aside,  I have to own up to liking brown basses, but only if they're brown due to being the natural color of the wood, can't stand brown paint jobs and unnatural looking brown stains.

But what's not to like about these brown beauties?
