Fantastic looking basses!

Really glad my hands are full of DD2 Bongo for the moment!

It occurs to me that after a year like this.... 25th and Big Al.... it would be hard to accuse you guys of being out of ideas.

Did you think about....

...a bone nut for those? Or is this too "vintage"...

The advantage of the metal cover is taht there is no plastic an the back of the bass. I like it.

I am not sure if anyone else in the UK apart from me has seen these yet....

All I can is I am a huge fan of seafoam green, and the maple necks looks great with it.

Loving the logo, love the vintage vibe.

I hope we can order these in the uk?!

Thanks

Gareth

A walnut one (if offered) might just be my first ever brand new bass purchase.

**Big Poppa** · 09-23-2009, 06:06 AM

We actually are on fire with ideas...We really appreciate all of you knuckleheads support
WE could use some more!

THe metal battery cover is cool but remember you need a screwdriver to change your battery.......It happened to me one time....bass breaking up that good old dying batttery clipping...no screwdriver...Its ok it was a wedding and dthe bride was ugly. Just kidding
ok homely

Hey BP..... how about "Radio Knobs" and the "Teardrop" case???? Just to really spice it up, offer the slimmer neck width as an option, for us with smaller hands????

**drTStingray** · 09-23-2009, 07:06 AM

This is great guys.

I see late 80/early 90s 2 bands as iconic Stingrays - this is what these are I guess, with strings thru added - so.......and I know how some of you guys duck when this is discussed - how about the most iconic Ray colour ever - Peach - or maybe shell pink/salmon pink?

And while we're on it, if you add a lacquered birds-eye maple neck both the pink and seafoam ones would walk out of the showrooms I reckon (certainly I will be ordering!!)

BP - do you think signature versions would sell (eg Bernard Edwards/Louis Johnson/Pino etc etc?? Iconic players of an iconic bass)

I'm gonna duck for cover now but you did say you were looking for ideas!!!

**Oldtoe** · 09-23-2009, 07:09 AM

Thanks for the giggle, Poppa.

Heh.
