    Yeah it looks great on the Dargie. I'd love to see what that would look like on HoneyBurst.

    Neither of those I must say. I'd suggest Black, True Gold, and of course Olive Gold.

    The guard on the 30th may be the ugliest thing I have ever seen.

    it might work on the dargie..
    as for the 30th.. id probably rather swear in church.. ghehehe
    the 5 ply black cream black cream black guard on the 30th is heaven to me

    MrM
    just put flats on the bongo!!
    just put roundwounds on your fretless!!

    eb customer support:
    E-mail: musicman_customerservice@ernieball.com
    Telephone: +1 866-823-2255

    trussrod adjustment:
    Click here for an image!
    less relief / flatter = lower action
    more relief / bow = higher action
    do NOT use cheap tools to adjust with. they might break and scrape up your pressious!
    also, if you are lucky enough to have a 100th namm sr4: the truss works the other way around on that one!

    For gold swirl, Id say white, black, olive gold, and greyish finishes would be my only preferences.

    I dont think it will be going on either. It was an accident that i ended up with it in the first place so maybe i will trade it away for another. JOSH

    Bling!
    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.
