I must admit to finding that an intriguing concept.

Would I be able to get those Levin tones without a fretless Sabre and/or diapers?

I wonder.

I think diapers might be mandatory from the factory now!!

an HH Bongo 6..... with this..... that is just plain Game Over!

You have got to be f'ing kidding me. That's insanely cool!!!

**mynan** · 07-17-2009, 08:46 PM

Had to read it a couple times to really grasp the concept, but...This Is BIG!!!

**Big Poppa** · 07-17-2009, 09:14 PM

its cool...funny thing is that there are two similar unveilings at the show...imagine that

It isnt going to be ready for prime time for a few months....

Heck, BP, the wiring and switching diagram on the Big Al did my head in, and now you throw this at me too!

I'm deployed for a few months. I got time

Once again, EBMM is helping bottom dwellers break from the 50s.

This is amazing. I'd love to get a guitar and bass with this revolutionary feature.

**syciprider** · 07-17-2009, 09:44 PM

And man if I can find that patch for the Elvis In Vegas tone.

did the prototype sent to Steve Morse have the new switching?

**mynan** · 07-17-2009, 10:04 PM

**Zippydog** · 07-17-2009, 10:07 PM

BP!! Very smart move by the way, and congratulations, when you say 2 similar unveilings at the show, do you mean 2 unveilings from EBMM or that 2 other competitiors have unveiled a similar concept / proto?

If you recall this is exactly what I once wrote to you, that in my views you and EBMM are avant-guard innovators, well done to the whole Ernie Ball team on this one.

Now that's a really cool thing, especially on a bass like the HHp Bongo where you now have 7 knobs. and still only can get a fraction of the sounds available.

I must admit it took me a while to get my head around what was going on here but now I get it I have to say this is pretty amazing - the fact that it isn't digital even more so. And I love my iPhone almost as much as my basses so combining the functions of the two is just awesome.

Well done Sterling and everyone at EBMM. So there could be a website with favourite settings to download, like a mini bassApps store?

With this coming up, the DDII, Big Al and all the Bongo's I MUST HAVE DAMMIT it looks like it's a permanent trip to Mortgages'R'Us for old GreyDaddy

Edit: one thing I don't grasp yet - is this something that can go only into new basses or is it at all possible to retrofit the electronics into existing models?
