Do they still do Oranjeboom lager?

They had a terrible tv advert for it in the 70s / 80s with a cheesy tune lifted from some other programme .. 

Yes it's still available...horrid stuff🤮

I imagine it's a bit of a cheapo "asda's own brand" quality type liquid..

Has anyone noticed that a lot of music gear related sites have orange logos? Wunjo's: orange. 

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 😂

That was the guitar side … 🙄

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.

Well, it looks white but you can't deny that it sounds orange.

Haha, yes, that's true, even though it doesn't weigh the same as an Orange either!

I'm wearing a orange boiler suit as we speak ( it doesn't have "Dept. of Correction" stencilled on the back or anything, btw) 

Are you selling musical instruments and accessories?

Only very (very) occasionally, if I get one o' them special offers from evilbay "80% off fees" 😁

(and none of the stuff has ever been orange)

Just arrived, my Fender Mike Kerr bass in Tiggar Orange. 

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.

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 😂
