first time I actually find a Bongo attractive!
That one I would buy!

(not so much the flame on the other hand

)

Anyone notice anything on the back of the Flame stingray?

Spooky

These are some real beauties. I would love to see that Bongo up close and personal. The finish work is awesome and the grain that is brought out in the neck is one of a kind. Great job!!!

So when can I lay my 1st deposit?

Shepp...

Now, that is a very nice Bongo, indeed. Like he got all dressed up and ready to go our for a nice dinner.

I´m going mad..... I am 43 years old and have played everything from jazz to doom metal through the years and I´m generally not too interested in flames but that Stingray......

Stunning work of art..... Stunning. All the basses are amazing but that flamed Stingray.......

What the heck has happened to EBMM this year....? 25th Anni and Big Al with all new and versatile electronics, reissue pre EB basses, basses with off the wall paint jobs and varnish...... I´m soo impressed.......!! Well done, lads and ladies.

Amazing work....

Again, these are beautiful!

To me, the Bongo really stands out in an already excellent crowd of basses - it wears the look of wood really well. Could this be a future BFR option? Maybe even with the 20th's thin binding?!

Tony Levin commented just like Hellboy..."How are you doing this" He is amazed

That is part of what makes EBMM so great,being innovating and forward thinking.
We are very lucky to have SO MANY choices, it's simply,amazing.

Well..... I´m far beyond amazed..... Love the basses, the attitude, the caring and the progressiveness (is that a proper word in english.....??

) And I just read all of your blog postings. Great writing, sire. Very inspiring. Well done, indeed. Just love the stories.

Tony is heading to Sweden. Will do concerts with his band StickMen here in november. So it seems like we might meet up again. I´m pretty much the only guy playing Stick live here so it will be good fun to see two great Stick-players in concert in Sweden. That doesn´t happen often, let me tell you. I didn´t even knew who Tony was when I started out on the Stick back in -86 about. I soon found out thou. Some friends forced me to listen to Crimson and Gabriel. "Now you can´t play Stick without knowing about Tony Levin", they said. I even had my old -76 inca silver Stingray back then. Before it got stolen....

That's some impressive stuff. Maybe it's time to offer the "no face dot" option on the fingerboards? It makes for a high-end look IMO. I inquired on that before, but couldn't get it done. Not ranting, just sayin'.....

WOW!!!!! Congrats to the team. Each one of those I would love to have -- the Mahogany bongo is sweet, the SR5 is beautiful. too bad to be on the east coast!!
