Good basses always come back to their owners – eventually

Hey, just wanted to give you a follow-up.

A week after I wrote the last comment. I got a beat on a red DynaBass -$220 including shipping from Fla. I forgot just how fantastic this model is. The neck is incredibly fast, and the sound… it positively growls!!!!!

I’m Mega Happy!!!

I got it for a birthday present, and purchased it because it was green. Yes, it was a present from myself to myself. Hey, who else would have bought it for me.

PS. That one was also stolen at the same time the Dyna was swiped (house got burgled), but it eventually recovered and returned three years later. My beloved black Dyna has yet to be found, BUT, I still hold on to a sliver of hope. My San Diego guitarist found his beloved red Charvel online, in New Jersey, fourteen years after it was stolen from his apartment on Coronado Island. Had to pay something like $3500, but he got it back.

I’ve got a Green Yahmmmy 5′er…..

OK. OK, here’s a pic. Yes, that’s red Peavey Dyna Bass, my newest acquisition. Actually, it’s been my only acquisition in the last several year. Money’s been tight. But it replaces a black one that was stolen in 2000. Try one if you ever get a chance. They have very fast necks, and the bass absolutely growls.

The logo on the 65 VOX cab is my own. Right after graduating from college, I for some unknown reason decided to start a T-Shirt company. It lasted four months – turns out I hated designing shirts. Though I didn’t make much money,I was always fond of the “Frog Crossing” design. After the original VOX material disintegrated, I decided to put that on it.

It’s not for a bass it’s actually for a solar car …

LOL. No idea where you can find it – But I think Musicman will paint the headstock to match

I want to know where I can find that paint… I want to paint it all green!

Seriously if you know where I can find this paint send a comment!

Hi Steve, yes it does! I think TVR also used similar paint technology once upon a time. Actually, I think it would look even cooler when vintage/roadworn .

That looks a bit like the Nissan(?) cars a while back with some clever paint that changed between green and purple depending on the angle. A neat idea, but can’t they do less vomit-inducing colours?

Personally I’m not into fancy finishes on instruments or cars. They only get damaged and then cost a fortune to put right, but I know looks matter for others.
