Show Us Your Green Basses

I hated to sell this one ... but literally 2 days after I bought it I got laid off ...

(I'm 'liking' the bass, not the fact that you lost your job! )
Is that a Nordstrand bridge pickup and a Bart neck pickup?? How did that thing sound. It looks lovely.

That was several years ago ... I am in a good job now ... even in the bad economy I can find work, but when I am off for a month or 2 then I sell stuff to make up the shortfall in income. I have owned between 50 and 70 basses and usually between 12 and 20 at any given time. When times are bad selling the most expensive ones helps.

The bridge is Schaller, the bridge pickup is Nordstrand, the neck pickup is Bartolini, the preamp is a 4 band Audere.

With those pickups and the preamp that bass can cop many different tones in addition to the Rickenbacker tone.

Also a previous owner added a brass nut and a gold TRC.

As popular as these have been, I'm surprised I'm the first person to show one in this thread....

I was eyeing a mint green EBMM SUB Ray4 in mint green just a few days ago to get the feel for them. Liked it, but not enough to pay the $300 the shop was asking. Maybe this is a sign

I love the look of these basses. I came close to purchasing one of them a few months back but it just didn't work out at the time. These are some of the best looking mass produced basses in my book.

I've seen mint green SUB4's below the $200 mark on here before.

That military green with matching headstock... drool
I never knew that finish was named Dargie Delight. It's pretty.

Sub'd. A long time ago someone posted a kind of translucent green burst that I dubbed the "turtleburst". Hoping it eventually makes an appearance in this thread ......
