Question Does anyone own the Ball Family Reserve Rosewood neck basses?

[Manfloozy]

.... and should you ever want to pass it on I'm here waiting. (Really, I am!)

I'll be #2 in line!

The all rosewood necks are ridoncolous! They feel like pure unadulterated awesome in your hands.

Grab it.... and if not, let me know where it is

Yes, fingers crossed you get it mrfstop - and if not give the coordinates to Matt - this BFR soooo should end up within the forum.

ughhhh trying to get it...I am waiting for this guitar to get payment...then I can roll that into paying off this Rosewood ray...
Man this G.A.S. + Mid Life crisis stuff really takes years off a persons life huh? LMAO
but gotta love it good ole G.A.S.
I REALLY want to add this one to the stable.
Working it out, hope to be the new owner?

You have a very nice collection already, so you really do not need another bass. But as long as you can afford it, why not? Let me know if you ever decide to move your white Reflex.

I have two EBMMs with all rosewood necks and they are very comfortable to play. One is Venetian 25th BFR 4HH and the other is a one off 2005 Buttercream Bongo 4HH made for Juan Nelson.

In honor of this thread, I had a dream last night that I was playing this bass. Probably explains why I woke up in a puddle of my own drool...

Good basses. The back of the neck feels a little different at first, but once I start playing it, I really don't notice any difference in feel. I think - I could be making this up entirely - that it does have a little extra oomph in the mids from the rosewood neck.

This one might be FS in a bit. I still have to think about it some. It's one hell of a piece, but I have another 4 string Bongo HH (the Flaming Biff) so it's redundant, not that this ever stopped me before.

+1 to those two lines!! hahahaha!! cracked me up!
Pm me if ya decide to roll this bongo.
I think this is the same one I was stalking in the for sale thread when you snagged it first.
And I mentioned letting me know if ya ever roll it.
If I am unable to let go of any basses to fund it, Maybe I can go donate some organs or something?
what the heck...all for the sake of a killer rosewood necked Bongonioio
