Yes, blue would do it for me

Blue basses are important! A snip from a Zoom screenshot of our Wednesday jazz hang with the Ampeg BA108v2+ in clear view.

Second one from the end. Loved that burst, so I had to have it.

The green is a bit too jarring for me.

Then leave it for someone else.

Thanks for the update. I'll ensure my journal reflects this new fact.

No problem-o.
Luckily, we don't all have the same likes/dislikes. Otherwise, we'd all be playing a P bass>Ampeg B15. No thanks on both.

Thanks for the update. I'll ensure my journal reflects this new fact.

In a surprising number of ways, I'm kinda traditional. IIRC, the first guitars/basses I saw were "brown" as in 'wood-y' looking. I tend to go for sunburst finishes('cept for my Gibson LPB2/5). Not even a super fan of Gibson/Epi 'cherry'. I would prefer that my Epi EB-0 was black/ebony[or whatever they wanna call it], but all the 'not new' ones I could find were 'cherry'. Then again, for the $165 I paid for it...
Epiphone EB-0

Thunderbird and LPB2/5

Ibanez AGB-200

^The^entire^collection^
EDIT: I wants one o' these(2021 Gibson Thunderbird Non-reverse, Sparkling Burgundy). However, what I gots to send to the Infernal Revenoo Service says NO!

Wait, we're not all playing a P-Bass into an Ampeg B15?

I've never played a P. I have played a B-18.

Once known as the King of Sub-Bass. From reports my old Peavey MKIV amp and 18" Black Widow gave similar results to the B-18...would have been an interesting shoot-out hey GP lol

The P____ prolly had more cojones*, but that B18 was sweet. It was for sale. Why didn't I buy it? The owner knew what it was worth.

*cojones=good Spanish word meaning...er,...uh,...cojones.
EDIT: Found this
Ampeg B18 All original vintage amp circa 1966 MINT condition!!!!! | eBay

PS: I'm watching Spaceballs, for the quintillionth time, and Dark Helmet's spaceship has just now exceeded lightspeed, ridiculous speed and even ludicrous speed! That's right! They've gone plaid! Yep, just now!

All of a sudden, what I paid for a new Ampeg PF20T doesn't seem all that bad!

Ahh. But did it come with a hernia inducing cab?

Nope, I already had a Rumble 115 cab!

 

[GonePlaid]

Nah. That doesn't count. You need a cab with a dried out, brittle speaker cone that will possibly cause you a slipped disk and not fit in whatever vehicle you own.

 

[Giffro]

Here it is GP..122lbs and a slipped disc over the years lol...

I’ll take it off your hands- .. someone has to play it…
