Hey guys, the playable prototypes just weren't in the cards today, due to delay on bridges from the platers. However, we did get the necks carved last night...

We are fret sawing tonight and if the stars are all in alignment we may be able to put a "raw" one together tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed!

 

[Bill]

Fingers crossed!!

Now that's what I call a 6 string bass guitar! Can't wait to see the real thing available! Goodluck on the protos!

 

[Alma]

+1. I seriously cannot wait to play one of these!

 

[Fraxture]

Thanx!
Smart decesion to let us get a sneak peek. You have my dollar waiting on it's release.

I've been lurking for awhile now and I finally have a question.

Are 6 basses the standard number for prototypes? What happens to them when they are finished?

A member who really isnt welcome anymore posted (and deleted) among many other things in this thread that only praise and adulation were encouraged and accepted here.

THis person is someone who will threaten us doing this stuff in the future. I cannot explain enough that we are doing this to take you along the design ride from start to finish. Postive comments are great but we arent considering them just like we won't consider the negative ones at this time. How come I cant just try to give you guys more information without a chicken sh!t posts like the one I deleted?

Can we accept this for what it is ? It is the first instrument designed out in the open for the world to see.......I think it is fun.

There is always one idiot to spoil every game...

I can pretty confidantly say that everybody else is really enjoying the chance to see something like this. Its rare enough to get any real insight into the workings of some of the bigger companies, let alone the development of new instruments, and definately not updated this quickly as events happen in the factory. To see even a couple of these photos when it has been released would be damn cool and probably keep us happy.

Again props to you and all at EBMM for being top notch guys, and giving us a damn cool oppertunity.

As for the Bongo 6, Hell, I haven't even gotten up to five strings yet, but this is looking fantastic, and very well balanced scalewise - it would be cool to see it against some kind of benchmark like a human or bongo 4 to see how big it actually is.

Cheers again.

WoW! It's to cool to see how fast the team can design and fabricate a new model!
This thread is more interesting than a whole season of Orange County Choppers!

Guys Dudley is the absolute master...I think that he has 1,000 respect in our house. The way he was nurtured and trained Enjoneer and Drew is impressive.....Jon great job on this bass....
