    autumn redburst is one awesome sparkle finish

    congrats erin!

    and i must say, i dunno who made the best deal of the 2 of you.. one one hand an autumn redburst is rare, whilst the bongo with tri-pickup system should be one mean machine soundwise...

    MrM
    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!

    No on the matching headstock, and its autumn red rise. The redburst does nothing for me.

    Sorry to ressurect this...

    Erin, I must have completely missed this thread before - sorry about that! I'm glad you like it man, it really is BEAUTIFUL. Just seeing that picture makes me sad...I will have another one at some point. I will.

    The tape...well the tape was necessary, as the box was...ah who am I kidding, the tape was in no way necessary, I just hate the thought of someone gettnig into it during transit. The woman at the till when I bought it all looked at me very strangely...so I bought a Snickers as well.

    Let me say though, the Bongo HHp is immense, and I am happy to have done this trade. But when I see the Sparkles...I just can't stop looking at them. I have sat down for about an hour before just moving it in the light, getting every single sparkle...

    Thanks Erin.

    That makes 2 of us. I'm struggling to remember why I ever sold you that bass, Zak. Oh yeah, it was so that you could loan it to somebody right off the bat & let 'em take a big honkin chunk out of the back of it.

    Anyhow, it's extremely cool that it still belongs to a knucklehead ... on its 3rd one, even.

    Beautiful bass. Play it to good health.
    Big Al 5SSS Sunburst, rosewood fretboard, tort, EB Flats

    Franken-Bongo 5 HHp (The Billy Bass), daphne blue, mint pickguard, EB flatwound strings

    Franken-Bongo 5 SHp (aka Moby Dick, the White Whale), black fretted neck with a abalone pickguard, EB Slinkys and a BassMute.

    Erin, Autumn Redrise is the absolute best finish, I had a JP in that color and like a dope I sold it.

    Congrats on your new bass, enjoy it.
