Congrats!

 

[Duarte]

Nice. Verrrry nice.

Perhaps too nice?

Okay, this is a question I would like answering. Ebony fretboards. A noticable difference?

Nice one on the HS too

 

[Sterling_Bass]

The color variation is incredible. How happy are you with your new Bongo?

Change your sig, and CONGRATS!

 

[sitonmybass]

Congratulations!

Your response to my new Bongo 5 single H was: "That is lovely, sir."
Right back at you. That is lovely, sir.

Very Nice

Oh my...why did I open this thread???

That is indeed one gorgeous looking Bongo shaped caramel apple. Wait till you see the nice darker green that shows itself (compared to a Dargie 1) when the light is just right- just fantastic.

That is awesome, congrats. On the second photo, looks like your finger is holding up the bridge pickup....

Excellent bass Jack. I love the inlays on the new Dargie II. Now get that plastic off the pickguard before it gets all funky!

I'm not feeling a difference. And it has rounds on it, of course, so I'm not the best judge of whether or not there's a tonal difference....sounds a lot like my other Bongo with rounds, though. The ebony LOOKS fabulous, whether or not there's any difference in tone. Man, what a pretty board!

I noticed this already when sitting in the studio and looking at the headstock. It looked REALLY dark. Cool effect. Jeremy was walking around it, saying, "Oh, it's brown. Wait, it's gold! Is it red now? IT'S BACK TO GREEN!" He's intrigued.

haha awesome, i LOVE ebony boards on some basses, the contrast just looks really great.

and i've been having similar fun with my new 08 LE ray love how the finish shifts under different lights (granted not like a DDII!)

Congrats Jack! Enjoy!

Congrats Jack! Enjoy!

Thanks, Brandt and thanks again to Mark G.

I played it for about an hour this afternoon while the boy disappeared into Wii-Land. Hopefully, I'll get more time with it later tonight.

A piece of art, as usual... Congrats, Jack!

 

[bovinehost]

Whoa, holy crap, I forgot what a Bongo single coil will do.
