    Here's a picture that Brandt had sent me on Monday. A little teaser of the bass. I haven't even been able to pull it out of the box myself. I will have more pictures tonight when I get it out of the box.

    heheh.. if this thread makes us feel like this, how does it makes HIM feel?

    congrats on the new beauty!

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

    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!

    Sweet bass, not big on the guard, but that can be changed easily if you feel it's necessary.

    Plain black would get my vote.

    The real pics

    Finally got home and pulled it out for photos! Got to play it for a while, too. These Bongos are beasts! I'm loving this instrument.











    I have to say that I really like the pickguard. I am looking at getting alternate guards in the future. I am contemplating a stealth black pickguard or even tort.

    funny enough (nice bass by the way) in my views the best pickguard for that bass would be either white pearl or white ice

    congrats
