MM 6-String Bass anyone?

[Alz®]

Does anyone know if a 34" or 35" scale 6-string bass has ever been conceived by EBMM?

I personally think that a 6-string Bongo would be the dogs balls!

 

[ekb16b]

im not really sure but i think they're unveiling the bongo 6 at summer NAMM
correct me if im wrong

 

[kneeoh]

You are correct ekb... the Bongo 6 along with the BFR AL will debut at summer NAMM.

 

[MingusBASS]

The dog's balls you shall have.

Some silly, small neck, thin six-stringed thingy... this info should really be kept in "that other" forum

The Silo has 6 strings.

OK. That's why I didn't know what the AL was. That makes sense.

That doesn't really count now does it ?!?!?

Bass guitars have four strings...

+1

 

[saxnbass]

Bass guitars have four strings...

That means they must be easier to play than a guitar.



JUST KIDDING!!!

 

[bassmonkey]

Bass guitars have four strings...

They are NOT guitars! They are basses, an instrument in its' own right, not a subordinate to the guitar.

This reminds me of a stupid joke.

2 men are walking down the street. They observe a dog licking his balls.

Guy #1 says, "I wish I could do that."

Guy #2 says, "You better pet him first."



boom tish.

 

[Strangeglow]

Sure the Silo counts. Strung like a bass. Go boom like a bass.

Sorry, Bassmonkey--

If this is a viol:

then a bass is a manner of guitar.




And, yes--I WOULD like extra credit for posting a six string and keeping it on topic.


I will eventually own a six string Bongo. I doubt very seriously I'll be able to get one ordered in 2007, though. I wonder what the 2008 limited edition will be?

i heard EBMM has an eleven string "talkbass" bongo in the works!
...strung G#-C#-F#-B-E-A-D-G-C-F-Bb. It will be a 40" scale, botchulism wings, zoysia core, with a zero fret, black diamond set in platinum inlays, on 24 carrot gold leaf flake in the shape of palm trees, 12band EQ, MIDI outs, mother of pearl dragon inlay, headless unlined fretless, with floyd rose, and have two 18 piece necks.

it's suppose to be a throw back to the old days, and it's dedicated to talkbass.
