And for that matter, the Plasma Railboards? I let a Chrome Plasma slip out of my hands. I could have DRIVEN to a guy in Baltimore MD to get that sucker.
Fool, fool, fool...

It might be because the dye wasn’t as robust as they’d like ? I think with the plasma , they were having some kind of quality control issues from the provider , don’t quote me on that though.

My understanding was that the dyes would rub out over time. While disappointing, a pretty understandable reason to discontinue.

I recall Andy P got one of those green dyed Sticks right before they discontinued it. It matched his green eyes.

That's correct: I was holding out for about a year on a gunmetal Railboard, until Emmett made the determination that their plasma supplier problems weren't going away in the foreseeable future. (Switched my order to the wood Grand - in hindsight, the feel and the tone of what I ended up with works better for me than the Railboard would have.)

I seem to recall that SE thought a little while ago that they were going to be able to bring the Plasma back, but judging from the current order form, it doesn't appear that this happened.

I mean the players. No one posts.
But then again, there's a lot of Sticks out there, and no one posts.
I have as yet to post my madness either!
