    A very cool take on the vintage thing, losing the obviously bad ideas like 3-bolt and string angling left and right at the bridge, while keeping all the cool stuff.
    Very nice, though I can't say I'm personally interested
    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.

    My only question is, will fretless be an option? My life has been empty without a fretless, and I actually have been trying to find an older blank fretless with mute bridge.

    Dear Scott Ball,

    By all means, don't!

    (That would be a Seafoam Bongo HH for me then, thanks!)

    Yes, but why is the rum gone?!

    phew....i am just happy i already have a 2-band Ray with mutes so i can resist. I think it is a good idea to go with the metal battery cover for those, just to make it perfect.

    The mutesbridge just looks so classy....

    Very Intriguing. I'm with Ed and quite hyped about this+flats+mutes.
    Any info about the pricing we can expect?

    Interesting point actually.

    What is the neck profile?
    Like todays Stingrays?

    The old PreEB's had a also a slightly slimmer neck profile. I kinda liked that...

    Love the Natural 'Ray.
    Not sure about the slab body. What are the advantages of the 'string-through' bridge?

    The neck profile was probably the best thing about the early pre-EBs. Very nice feel, similar to early 60s Precisions.

    Great! I haven't even had my DD2 Bongo for 96 hours and already there's another model preview!

    What about fretless? Is that an option?

    Apparently nobody ever asked all of us if we wanted Seafoam Green..I think I'm reading about a 75% acceptance rate just because of that color.
    Sign me up - when will my local pusher, er, dealer.. start taking deposits..? (And yes, I'm not even close to seeing the Bongo5 I ordered 3 weeks ago).
