    If that was a 6 string with single H I'd be currently walking through snow in Louisiana.

    Beautiful Bongo. White + black hardware = thebest

    So next time we'll see a Chuck Ward copy? ;-)
    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.

    Think "Lady Godiva" except kind of fatter and with more body hair.

    BTW, Brandt, that IS one great looking Bongo and I'm not unaware of how weird it is to have snow in Red Stick. When I was still living on the Coast, it snowed once and everything shut down like it was a nuclear attack or something.

    I've got the body hair covered but it will have to warm up here before I show that off.

    Bovinehost, do you ever venture out to the NAMM shows? I’d love to run into you one day and pick your brain on all things Music Man…..

    I'm afraid I won't make it in January, I am EXTREMELY sorry to say. We had a death in my wife's family and have to go to Peru to take care of the arrangements and some business and all that....just after Christmas and into January, so any travel money is shot. (Not that there was much to begin with!)

    But we'll hook up one of these days. And of course I'd love to see the store (and steal your Bongo).

    Is the white pearl going to be a production color? Or is it special order only (with a different color neck I'd assume)?

    Definitely the best Bongo I've seen. Yet.

    Black on white will take some beating and I'm liking the fact it has no pick guard...

    Tasty.

    Thanks for the complements guys!! Unfortunately White Pearl is not a production option on the bongo. I was fortunate enough to have this special bass built for me with the help from my rep and a final blessing from BP.
