Is this the worst name for a bass guitar finish ever?

[Eldon Tyrell]

Just saw this one. The finish is called "Metal Flake Clown Vomit Green Finish". Clown vomit? Really? 🥴

Who comes up with such a name and who wants to have a bass with a "clown vomit" finish? Ok, maybe it's a great bass and cheap. So, what's the price you are asking? 

Well, the price is a whopping £ 3,649. Wow. Well, maybe it sounds amazing and plays well. Never heard of "Blast Cult" but could be good, maybe even very good, not ruling it out, but with a sparkly clown vomit finish? Don't think I will give a try. What about you?

At least its an honest description.

[Boodang]

Brilliant! Was just thinking the other day how most descriptions are quite boring. At least this gets your attention in more ways than one. Clown vomit... could be a good name for a band!

[Maude]

Blast Cult have long made very nice doublebasses. 

 

I love the look of that bass, and I'd be more than happy to declare it's 'Clown Vomit Green'. 

[mr4stringz]

I look forward to seeing this in other finishes -

a brown or olive  called weaning baby poo;

a white called 80s dog crap;

a black called no 50 pences for the leccy meter;

a red called Burned English man on the Med

 

I mean, the possibilities really are endless.

I’d have said Kermit Vomit

[Gareth Hughes]

Should at least be multicoloured to be called Clown Vomit. Maybe it’s one of those ones that changes colour when you look at it from a different angle, possibly revealing some semi-digested popcorn?

[Eldon Tyrell]

Not sure why green finishes are attracting, let's say, "interesting" names. Here's another one: Toxic Venom

you know there's a range of nominal things I've seen people focus on in bass gear - the nominal name given to the colour is a new one. 
If it helps you spend your £3600 you could call it Glitter finish close to Pantone 7737c?

I am pretty sure there are some better names available than "clown vomit" or "Glitter finish close to Pantone 7737c" 😉

I like clown vomit. If you have to pick a name for a colour it's funny. 

What would you call it?

[SumOne]

The strings not lining up across the middle of their individual round pickup circles would annoy me more. 

[Reggaebass]

Strange name but quite a cool colour

As it is just the name of the finish, why not just call it "Metal Flake Green Finish"? No need for the clown and his/her vomit 🙂

Who would have known that clown vomit could be so expensive! 🤡

Checked the urban dictionary for the meaning of "clown vomit". It seems to mean "A term used to describe the result of a corruption in video games where the backgrounds, pixels, and graphics mesh together in a chaotic cacophony of colors, often resembling the theoretical colorful vomit from a clown."

There you go, chaotic cacophony of colours. So definitely not green only. Definitely a fake finish 😉 

 

[Kevsy71]

Surely an ideal colour for a Chunderbird?

It may be the worst to have been used so far, but I can assure that I could come up with colour names so horrific as to get me banned from this forum for life. The regurgitated contents of slapstick entertainer's stomachs is but the tip of the nastyberg.

C'mon, don't tease us but share some of your ideas. We won't tell the mods 🙂

You're more likely to see a clown vomit sparkly green than see any sea foam that is a lovely mint green, rather than the sludgey pale brown it actually is.

Messrs Musicman clearly missed a trick when they named this rare and somewhat infamous colour aherm….. trans green.
