    Thumbs up Totally BLOWN AWAY!

    That is the coolest looking instrument I have ever seen!
    So clean, so understated and so totally radical! The grain on the body is the most fantastic piece of ash I have ever seen, and that neck just screams unobtainium all over the place.
    A real special instrument for a real special man

    Fantastic work by the boys!
    bovinehost: Yes, I do agree with that, but if there's nothing wrong then there's nothing wrong.
    Beth: I would compare Bongo to Tommy Lee Jones. Bad a$$ and just hot in a weird way...
    cheezewiz: They should take their lace thongs off and play bass.

    Nice looking bass - I don't know whether it's the medication, but I thought "Spider" when I saw the grain!!
