Will the back of the Bongo necks be painted or naked???

 

[Dargin]

Painted. Nothing changes on the model except for finish color and ebony board.

Caramel Apple....mmmmmmm I like that!

Now I'm hungry...

 

[Sonnyonbass]

This one has too many strings!


Seriously.... very nice colour!

 

[Biker4Him]

This one has too many strings!

Nope... correct number of strings.. just the wrong body type, and the strings are way too skinny.

Bongo6 coming to Okiehoma..

I can't wait to see one of those sexy round Bongo bodies painted with that stuff.

Nice, I would love to get the Dargie Delight II on the new Stingray SLO Special when it comes out, that would be awesome.

i dont know if its just me, but i like the Dargie 1 inlays better.

i don't know if its just me, but i like the Dargie 1 inlays better.

I'm guessing something else had to be changed to distinguish these from the first series, I like both inlays equally. The color shifting paint and ebony put these over the top for me, like Jack said, the Bongo's with this scheme are going to be off the hook. This makes up for the inlay difference for me. I talked to Brandt at T.P.B. today about pricing and was very pleased at the quote for a Bongo 5Hp, even with the piezo price upgrade I thought it was very decent for a future collectible bass (4 week window for ordering y'all!). So make sure you get on the phone and call the MM dealer of your choice, if you missed the first Dargie's or the rosewood's now's the chance to get something just as cool (I think maybe even cooler).

Only for Americans?!?

Thanks for the link, phatdukk.

What an awesome color that is.... *dreaming*
Nevertheless, the DD2-Edition leaves some questions to me...

1) Will the DD2 be available in Germany (Europe), too?
2) And if so: Is it possible to get the head of StingRays/Sterlings colored, too? Would look MUCH nicer, to my mind.
3) And does "The Dargie Limited Edition is available on all instruments except the Steve Morse Y2D, Axis, and Axis Super Sport models." mean that any pickup config will be available? Sterling 5, too?

OMG, I'm so excited...

Thanks for your information on my questions!
