    I think blocks would look funny on an EBMM honestly.

    I know what binding is but no idea on blocks. Is this block inlays or something else?

    I dig the Bongo because of its utilitarianism. I prefer to have an instrument that looks better in my hands than hanging on a wall. Just me though.

    Blocks and/or binding on an EBMM (except maybe binding on some sort of BFR/LE model) would look pretty weird tbh...

    What if B.P. could shoot his age? We'd probably never see him again.

    I think pearloid blocks would look nice on rosewood, but it's such a minor thing....

    I just can't see myself caring that much.

    I'd come over on Sunday afternoons and we could shoot rockets at flying pigs.

    Tell me that wouldn't be fun.

    by blocks, do you mean block inlays? As in the big things that take the place of dots on the fretboard?

    I'm sure that's what he means, "blocks and binding" is a common term. Personally, I prefer martini glasses, but that's just me .

    I think Roger Waters would buy them. I believe he is in the market for a new one.

    I'm a left hander who plays right handed, so I guess that makes me confused.

    A big + 1 here! I love the inlays on my 3 Dargies, they make those basses extra special to me.
