NBD - shell pink CME bronco

[pcake]

when i tried to buy a shell pink bronco from chicago music exchange a couple times before, they were sold out. i emailed them before the current batch was in stock, and they let me pre-order. the reps i talked to were nice and very helpful, and the bass arrived in perfect condition today. feels great, sounds great, is sitting in the rack next to my black bronco with tort. strings are on the way from MF.

unlike other broncos i've played, this one was nicely intonated. no other issues that i can find with a quick once-over.

this is the only time i ever bought a bass for looks - that vintage pink with the white and the maple is so nice. pickup will be upgraded at some point, possibly with a fralin.

it does play easy. love me a 30" scale bass, and i find broncos to be at the top of the comfy to play list.

I love the simple, clean look of the broncos. Nice work there! I hope you love playing at as much as you do looking at it.

Nice looker! Matches my friends hair (in my avatar )

I refinned one in Sonic Blue, a few years ago, and commissioned (Carey) Nordstrand to make a split-coil for it! You can view at post #22 ff. In retrospect - the spacing should ha been 16mm - but the 17 worked. Ya might consider this one

If you ever replace the tuners, put some lollipops on there (preferably ultralites). It would look so cool.

Hi Patti

vintage pink with the white and the maple is so nice

A classic combination...

it does play easy. love me a 30" scale bass, and i find broncos to be at the top of the comfy to play list

...and it doesn't need to be a looooong Cadillac to look great in pink and white!

happy NBD!!!
