Yeah, fortunately for them, the Corona virus pretty quickly became re-branded Covid.

To be honest, when I saw the title of the post, I immediately clicked on it, thinking it surely must be about this great song and the lyrics at the end: "If I would, could you?" Well, I got it wrong.

From the Guardian: WHO names new variant Omicron, designates as 'variant of concern' The World Health Organization has named the B.1.1.529 Covid variant Omicron and says an advisory group has recommended that it should be designated as “of concern” In a statement, WHO said preliminary evidence suggests the latest variant carries a “higher risk of re-infection than other variants of concern”.

Wow. The ideal bass for people suffering from, what @jd56hawkcalls, LAMS 😉 Where are my Ray Bans? Ok, found them 😎

Good point and my assistant in my office is still wanting for my penny to be handed over, @wateroftyne but maybe you don't give a penny like HP here😉

Short answer: Nope, would not apply. Ok, with regard to your offer of "a penny for your thoughts" (title of your post). Now that you got my thoughts, could you please go to my office and hand over the penny to my assistant? PLEASE NOTE one of the big parts of you keeping your promise is following instructions, it says 'hand over the penny'. If you try to pay me via paypal or credit card or any other means, then you are not the right person for this bass forum. Many Thanks.

Uhh, that sounds awful 😱

Agree, a better name for sonic blue would be baby blue

Well, good news is that it will probably take Tool at least 8-10 more years to release their next album, so you have more than enough time to go through all their albums 😉 My fav is still Ænima from 96, although I think that most prefer Lateralus from 01, so I would start with these two.

Yes, twice actually 😎

Did not know what LAMS means. Googled it. According to the urban dictionary, it is "A social group prevalent in Germany, characterized by poor grammar, sweat pants, and a mullet." So, do you think this bloke came up with the clown vomit name? Could explain it.

However, he also sounds great with a, let's say, less impressive drum kit 😉

You probably watched this one, which is amazing indeed:

Oh yes, great memories. Hadn't watched this for decades!

...which still sound better than 99% of what else was released in that year.

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

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 😉

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 🙂

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

Not sure why green finishes are attracting, let's say, "interesting" names. Here's another one: Toxic Venom https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/C4BSlvMtTV--schecter-c-4-bass-silver-mountain-toxic-venom

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.
