Interesting color. I remember seeing one in purple, which I wanted like _crazy_, but never green:

I missed out on a fretless Elan earlier today.  So, I consoled myself by snagging this SC Green Bass!!! I hope it will get along with my Spoiler.  I'll post a family pic when it arrives.

Congrats!  The color looks great on that top; the color and grain have a nice ocean appearance.  Very nice!

Congrats.  Very unusual, very pretty bass at a good price.  Post some pictures when you get it.

It just got here!!!  It looks and sounds great (a good bit darker than the photo).  I'm very happy with the purchase, but heads-up to anyone considering buying from Jim's Guitars: The bass was described as Mint.  While it is in very good condition for a '94, it has definitely been played.  I'll post photos later.

He probably meant mint as in the color...
 
Great bass, BTW. Love the color!

I hadn't thought of that.  You're probably right.

I was looking at that bass prior to Mike buying it and requested additional pictures from Jim's Guitars. I would rate it as clean but not mint from the pictures I received. Still it is very cool and have never seen another like it. Enjoy!
