Dear Scott Ball,

Please try to ignore the mock-up of the Seafoam/Surf Green Bongo.

Respectfully and fearfully yours,

Wow...............

Looks like I may have to get a seventh EBMM ordered! Can you get Fretboard, Pickguard, and Matching Headstock Choices? I'm in on Seafoam Green, Rosewood Fretboard, Marching Headstock, with a Tortoise Shell Pickguard!

 

[MK Bass Weed]

I guess you can't have it all...

No wait...

You CAN have it all!

This was also the first time I went over to the TB forums and read the posts about this news...and found they're just downright giddy over there.

I'm pulling for the Cream, but if Tomato Soup Red (with a dash of milk) shows up...pheww...I'll be sleeping outside in the box it comes in!

Now you have my attention

Thank you BP and Dargin, great job, great choice.
Now my pondering begins.

 

[Black Lake]

Wow....Just Wow. Hats off to BP and crew, they out did themselves again (you would think that is near impossible with their past successes).

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Those are just amazing!

(even if the strings go through the body, which doesn't make a difference - but if you hear a difference then it must be there)

 

[five7]

Nothing is impossible when you have BP at the helm!

When I first saw it and it was like SEA FOAM GREEN. Then oh a reissue OK...

Now the whole retro thing is starting to give me G.A.S. Because it will be built so much better than the old pre EBs.

EBMM, you always keep us on our toes. I never expected this, but I love it. The vintage vibe on these beauties is just awesome.

Umm, I'd like to speak up for many of the Bongoloids here and say the real torture was when this picture showed up

That was hideous

 

[Bulltrout]

Wow, and I was thinking of another Stingray ....

 

[Big Poppa]

Hey I just stayed out of the way...this is the slo boys deal

 

[strummer]

A very cool take on the vintage thing, losing the obviously bad ideas like 3-bolt and string angling left and right at the bridge, while keeping all the cool stuff.
Very nice, though I can't say I'm personally interested

 

[Caca de Kick]

My only question is, will fretless be an option? My life has been empty without a fretless, and I actually have been trying to find an older blank fretless with mute bridge.

Dear Scott Ball,

By all means, don't!

(That would be a Seafoam Bongo HH for me then, thanks!)

phew....i am just happy i already have a 2-band Ray with mutes so i can resist. I think it is a good idea to go with the metal battery cover for those, just to make it perfect.

The mutesbridge just looks so classy....

Also:

Will a sealed Poly neck be an option?

 

[tiffles]

wow! how do you guys ever get time to do all this!!?? do you have a permanent starbucks franchise in the corner somewhere? well done!!

 

[djaxup]

Very Intriguing. I'm with Ed and quite hyped about this+flats+mutes.
Any info about the pricing we can expect?
