[Big Poppa]

I keep waiting for mine!

 

[Duarte]

I bet we see pictures....and I bet the mystery will remain.

Just a hunch.

What do you know? WHAT DO YOU KNOW!?

 

[drewbixcubed]

The whole enchilada!!!!

Today's menu.....

(don't mind the blur inthe last pic)

 

[MingusBASS]

Pretty cool!

Do tell! What are the smaller buttons? Coil selectors?

 

[Psychicpet]

i feel as though i know how Moses felt on the mountain when G-d did reveal His glory and shone upon Mo'


this has got to be one of the gnarliest looking machines yet!!


thank you for putting in to regular production BP!! ....means I'll have a chance to save up for a few over the years.


yes, yes, my heart is Bongoloid, but sweet Motherin' Joseph n' Mary this thing is nuts!

 

[adouglas]

Hmmm..... four buttons, with three grouped together.

So...on/off for each pickup, but what's the fourth for? If it were only on the model with the H I'd suspect a coil tap. But it's there on the SSS as well.

Also...a very Bongo-ish knob setup. Volume and 4-band EQ, but what's the other knob?

Veeeerrry interesting....

 

[Smakbass]

What I want to know is about what model Ironing board that is back there...

ok no really..

shorter horn cause lighter tuners shorter headstock,,,still get balance...I like it im curious how it would sit with a strap.....

Looks interesting....

I want to play one

 

[Aussie Mark]

That HSS looks like the one.

 

[Psychicpet]

my guess is one per coil and an active/passive switch

 

[Smakbass]

perhaps the 4th is a passive option.

Hmm Pete beat me too it,,,,

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

It's a semi-single cut. Very unexpected and interesting.

 

[Big Poppa]

we are still working on the electronics...we are revoicing it....

Here is it in a nutshell This is the bass partner to the axis guitar. it is really fun and light and got gobs of tone......

 

[Smakbass]

Cool so any esthetic changes coming still?

 

[Psychicpet]

I could (and probably am so just keep it to yourself Smakky) be wrong, but it almost looks like with the new headstock design, the tuners are a bit further back on the headstock, meaning the length from nut to post is a bit longer.... if so... that'd be cool too, always been a big fan of that concept.

 

[Big Poppa]

yes there will be a maple top and binding and some other neat stuff.....
