This color took a while to come up with... wanted a green I hadn't seen a hundred times on a bass.

A Myrtlewood top which leaned towards green made it that much more fun.

The model isn't really my thing, but that is a fantastic color!

I never thought that I'd be so giddy waiting for wood... I feel like a kid in a candy shop.

Hey Bob, what's that fingerboard made of? It's hypnotizing...

Here's a dealer photo of my new Kala UBass. It's swamp ash with satin espresso brown finish.

Helsing, is it just the light that plays tricks on the colors or is the paint actually reacting to UV rays to darken or brighten? If the second then what sorcery is this?

Pretty sure it is just the light playing tricks on the colours,
But it is a pretty big difference non the less,
Though i love all three shades i have come across so no complaints

Thanks. It's basically a six string version of my 78 Fender Jazz.
