Yes it's still available...horrid stuff🤮 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do people reckon? Or maybe its just coincidence. The owner of that place is a Protestant Glaswegian, so not a lot of coincidence there. Half his shop was also painted $h1t brown although the significance of that isn’t immediately obvious to me. Not sure I really want to know, tbh 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diskwave Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Easy, it represents the 70's, the greatest era of music ever. TV Ads aimed at young people playing 70's music, loops, samples..its all 70's. When I got my 120 bass amp in 1978 and 2x15 parabolic bin it was just so flippin cool, and that little funny logo...brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, yes, that's true, even though it doesn't weigh the same as an Orange either! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely bass with a JMJ neck , Jag body (better suited to my "portly frame" than a Mustang) enormous Humbuckers and fancy Barbie gold hardware. Really pleased. On 18/08/2023 at 20:42, Maude said: A lot of music shops use the colour orange in their logos etc as neurological research has found that orange stimulates the same receptors in the brain as hearing music you enjoy and purchasing items, among other enjoyable things, releasing endorphins that give you that warm fuzzy feeling. Further research found that some people will believe anything they read online. So orange prompting the "buy" part of the brain does work then 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
