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.

So back to when can I get a right-handed Dargie green Bongo 6...
(BP checks production schedule....)
Hmm... let's see... How 'bout... "Never."
Does "Never" work for you?
Dargie Green has come and gone....

I can't wait to find out what the 2008 ltd ed is going to be. If it speaks to me, I'll have to pick up a Bongo 6 SC/H.
It's too bad (for me) that the Autumn Burst is no longer available. I think that'd be a pretty striking look for a Bongo 6.
I hope a six string set of Ernie Ball flatwound bass strings is added to the product line, too. I'd hate to have to use Acme strings to get my flat fix on the Bongo 6.![]()

You go 10 days on holiday...and when you come back, you just discover EB is making that Bongo 6 fantasy a reality ! Makes me wonder if those holidays didn't last longer as I can remember...
Anyway, that proto looks great (as other people here, I really love the 4 + 2 headstock), and it makes me want to see one in real...(maybe not to carry it, but that's another point...)

You're welcome to say whatever you want. But, don't expect it to have any bearing on what actually happens. They certainly don't ask for suggestions, and they certainly don't run ideas past us for input.
I try and think of it like a nursery in a hospital. Sure, I can look at the children, but I don't expect the nurses, or parents, to ask for my input. Some might even say it'd be rude of me to offer it unsolicited.![]()

Wow, if there's anything I've learned about BP, it's that only BP speaks for BP and that "never" is seldom the right word to use about EBMM. Seems anything can happen there if the stars align correctly.Does "Never" work for you?
Long before the Dargie Delights I was told there would never be basses made in that color. I'll Jack explain how well that worked for me.
