Bongo's should come with maple fretboards!

[ROON]

I just Photoshopped up a Bongo with a maple fretboard. I'm a big sucker for the "black 'n' maple" look. I think it would be awesome to have a Bongo in that scheme.

Do you guys like it?

P.S: Sorry I was too lazy to do the 2nd headstock logo.

Roon, if you like it, that's good enough for me.

I mean, I don't, but who cares?

BP says maple boards are fugly on 'em, but I've learned to never say never.

I don't know how anyone could call that fugly!
But as the old saying goes, different strokes for different folks eh?

I quite like it. I'd buy one if they came out with maple boards. Not for my next bass mind you. Two out of my three basses are black, that's a pretty high fingerprint magnet ratio! I'd like something wild for my next bass. Pacific Blueburst, Blue Dawn, maybe even dark cherry burst.

Hey Roon,

While your at it...could you slap on a 3 tone classic burst?

I want a burst bongo...but I think classic would be killer...love the Mape

Me likey. Nice job.

I think it looks pretty cool.

Did you guys make a prototype maple board bongo down at SLO or is BP's decision based on photoshopped images like this?

The Candy Apple Red with maple neck would be awesome. The headstock wouldn't even have to match, and it would be great.

maple is almost always better than rw. if the look of the bass calls for a dark fb, go with ebony. sorry, not a fan of RW at all

Come on...I've been trying to stay away from a certain other forum to avoid posts like this...

What Jack said.

When the Bongo comes with a Maple fretboard, I will buy one. Until then, I just want one.

you know hhwat, it looks good

 

[EBMM7181]

I like it

 

[LoEnd]

Ooooh! Nice!! Yea, I really dig that. I never thought a maple neck would look that good on the ol Bongo.

Looks fine!

I like the White on Black thing, but think of it tone wise as well.

 

[TSanders]

Pops has taken his stand on a maple boarded Bongo, but the 'shop job above makes me think they may look sweet, and I more often than not prefer rosewood.

 

[Kristopher]

I like it. Non-matching headstock would be sweet too.

 

[martin shane]

i love maple fret boards ... if the bongo was available w/maple i would have already had one...still trying to hunt down a single H bongo though ...

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Maple boarded Bongo? No thank you...

Then this one would be right up your alley.....
