In one post you've managed to discontinued my top two favorite pick guards and 3 of my top favorite colors... Crushed me...

[chilix]

out with some ideas...can't wait for even newer ideas

[MingusBASS]

Sure makes sense in light of all the new colors. Were most of the discontinued colors launched at the same time as the Bongo?

Major props to team EB for updatng the color chart on the website already!

[fidooda]

what?! natural and black are still in?? you should give those a break to let all the stores get rid of them and order more interesting colors

[bovinehost]

Hmmm, less wailing and gnashing of teeth (so far) than I'd imagined.

Too bad that Desert Gold and Medallion Gold are out. Those were (are) some really beautiful finishes.

In with the new!

Lament for White & Black Ice

by Tom Bail

O' White and Black Ice, you shall be missed.
Like a kooky yin and yang,
They had that thang
And now we're left with Vanilla.
Ice, Ice Baby.
Baby, Ice, Ice.
I lament for thee, o' White and Black Ice.



Pete! I need a black ice 4h bongo pg for spares! Sell me one!

[oddjob]

Not Desert Gold and Black Ice!!!!!! And me without cash (sniff). That enough wailing, Jack? If not I can do some more.

The new colors are cool though.

[Big Poppa]

can you imagine the response if we discontinued a color that people ordered?

Jeff,

Look at it this way, if you own any of these colors, they are instantly rare colors...

I actually have a Medallion Gold Bongo 5 unlined fretless HH/P on order, so I couldn't be happier!!

Try a disinformation campaign next year on the forum! Say you're no longer offering black with maple fretboards!

Lament for Rolls Burgundy

Ahh Rolls Burgundy
How you glistened under that September Desert Sun
Tony Levin looking over my shoulder
B.P. checking my pockets as we leave
Good Times

Testament to Carbon Blue Pearl
by Jack Williams

When you were new, I took you in
and you made me proud.
Alas, your official name
was way too freakin' long.

[TNT]

Yeah,

Isn't your practise to discontinue the most popular colors?

I always thought the goal is at the end of the year to have a nice selection of colors that customers didn't like or order.

Then again, I always try and get rid of aces and kings when I play poker.

LOL
