View Poll Results: Would the right Limited Edition make you order immediately?

**muggsy** · 10-24-2005, 02:17 PM

The right limited edition would make me order today. A mahogany Bongo would do it, as would a Bongo with rosewood neck like the one at the Open House. I don't have unlimited resources, and the gear I already own is way more than I'll ever need, but certain basses just make me covet them. It's not like they do something that my current basses don't do, they just look cooler doing it. If I placed the order, then I'd have to figure out what to sell to pay for it, but that's a nice problem to have.

The rosewood neck would be great, but a fretless status graphite neck could be
an option for a LTD model. An SR4 HSC with a graphite neck would be the S%&t.

Well, I didn't think it could happen. But the unbelievable occurred. As the limited Buttercream run was coming to an end, the dual pickup basses were announced. Then, as I was contemplating these events on my back porch, Jupiter, Mars and Saturn formed a nearly straight line in the western sky. Now, how often does THAT happen? Out came the check book.

OK. This isn't exactly what happened, but you get the idea.

Already planning for a 2007 LTD purchase...

I'd like to say that time will tell if I can hold out that long, but in reality it's my wallet that has pretty much settled this issue!

Hell, I've got a Stealth Black Bongo that's no longer being made in that finish (don't you dare mention Rustoleum Flat Black!), so I guess that counts as my LTD EBMM bass.

Last time I checked, The Stealth Bongo was not a LTD Ed bass and is still available for ordering. Sooo..try again!

Unless #1 Black on the MM color chart counts as Stealth Black, what's available out there is the last o' the bunch!

**MingusBASS** · 10-25-2005, 09:51 PM

All I know is that when EBMM unveiled the Buttercream L.E. and Stealth Bongo that this topic was discussed. At that time, Stealth was not a L.E. but an option that would extend past 2005 and into the future for however long the factory decided to make them or however long people continued to order them. Maybe I missed something but I haven't seen anything on here to make me think something has changed.

Some information such as the color chart and whatnot is not updated on the site. For instance, if you notice, according to the website their are no lefthanded Bongos or dual pickup Stingrays, Sterlings or SR5's. And AFAIK, Stealth Bongos are available.

The peanut gallery is correct - Stealth is still available. It still makes me smile that there is no upcharge for that option.

And I really kind of want one.

Anyway, it will be interesting to see what's new in 2006.

the keep your hats on,

Huh? Isn't that like asking how much I pay for a $10 bill? I mean, aren't Wombat Pelts the coin of the realm in SoCal, USA? Even last week, the bank had a poster hanging about how they're "wheeling and dealing", but when I asked, $10 bills were still $120 a dozen and $1440 per gross [free shipping with bulk orders, no sales tax on internet sales]. I trust that what you pay for one WP is exactly WP1, or WP12 per dozen and WP1440 per gross. In Wombat we trust. E Pluribus Wombat. Semper Wombat.
