Dingus Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Probably due to my conservartive upbringing and my instinctive good taste , I am much too sensible to have ever owned a bass in any of these ridiculous colours . However , that doesn't stop me from casting a sideways glace at them and wondering what it would be like to come home to the offbeat charms of one of these monstrocities . It's like looking at a Chav woman in the supermarket sporting gaudy makeup and offensive children and wondering what it would be like if you gave her a job as your cleaning lady and let her into your home . Would she steal from you and laugh all the way to Cash Converters , or would you end up giving her a special Dingus "Christmas bonus " one afternoon and run away together to start a new life on benefits in Luton ? Could I , Lord Dingus of Nowhere In Particular , really go out in public with a yellow bass ? Or a green one ? Or a woman who buys her clothes from a sports shop ? I've got a red bass , but even that is Fiesta Red , a classic Fender 1960's custom colour , and makes me look a bit like Hank Marvin with clinical depression . Basses in these strong colours are O.K as a novelty , but that would wear off very quickly , I suspect . I love this , though : Lamborghini Orange . I could live with that . It would go lovely with my brown chocolate cords I got from Gap , too . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] that was the hottest outdoor stage in the history of outdoor stages. Sun was pouring right in the front of it, no shade, nowhere to hide. I though I was going to drown.

Jonnyboy Rotten Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 [quote name='fumps' timestamp='1376572033' post='2176227'] Me too I have the piano white one.....but I do like the Orange too ! [/quote] I got the Orange SR - see profile pic - and I love it. I don't think the yellow one was available when I bought mine. (it looks like the older version with four pots instead of five) I don't think I would have gone for yellow on the SR anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Butterscotch Blonde for me too, I'm afraid. However, some bright mind allowed us some green as well. Here's a pre-production prototype attempt at a Bongo. Don't own it, mind.

BassTractor Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 However, I do indeed own this here one cello-thingie, here played by a friend who has it on loan. A classical musician, she plays it Harnoncourt style: [URL=http://s1170.photobucket.com/user/basstractor1/media/Marina20121224Bongo_zpsa09d14d5.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r525/basstractor1/Marina20121224Bongo_zpsa09d14d5.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
