Something's wrong with that price, it's more than 25th was ever!

No. The 25th 5HH was around 5500 CHF. Which was one of the reasons why I didn't buy it.

For that money you can fly to the US and buy the bass yourself Oli.

Which will probably sum up to the same amount of money. Which is more than I can spend.


Anyway... even more the reason for our US based friends to buy them Reflexes in bunches, so we can trade or buy used :D

OK, let's bringing the end of this story!

Just got a call from my dealer, I don't wanna tell you guys the exact price, but it's far, far away from Oli's price, I just can say that HH have only 135 US$ higher price instead a single H model, so as you can guess, I'm going to oder RX 5 HH, White color, maple fret-board just in first few days next week, monday, tuesday I hope!
That's my final decision! :)
Life is good! :p

P.S. ...Oli, You should come to my dealer to make an order :D ...price is much, muuuch lower than You wrote above! ;)

Cheers!

(Oh man what a GAS :eek: )

OK, next on is on me:

WARNING: Bongo 6 content!!! (and bunch of EBMM basses in the background)

So, I already had some questions about my dealer, so I'll give You him in personal, here is an official video soundtrack of our town music store which is owned by our domesic general EBMM importer!
Owner plays guitar and sings duet with our famous ballade singer (Arsen Dedic), and our great jazz musician (Mario Mavrin) plays Bongo 6 in the background:
(It's in Croatian, but You guys will get the point)

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrrJSBQKCf0]YouTube - Juraj Belkovi? feat. Arsen Dedi? - Dvije Zvijezde[/ame]

Sorry that general EBMM importer plays "G" guitar but it's his choice! :rolleyes:
Only what counts is the new reflex to me! :p

OK, I got the answers from CS and I admit that I'm very pleased!

I'm just step to official order of the new bass (RX5HH), it's just matter of my schedule at work and private obligations (still finishing house interior :rolleyes: ...never ending story...)!

I'll keep You informed guys when order will be official! (hope this week) :)

Is there any reason you can't post the questions you asked and the answers they supplied? It might help some other people, too.

I'm certainly jealous of ordering a Reflex. It'll be a while before I can order a new bass with a baby on the way.

Well, I don't know, I think I should ask for permission to do that from moderators, or EBMM officials on this forum?
I don't wanna be a bully, or something, pushing my way...etc.

One more thing, I added a few more questions and developed kind of personal/private contact with one of CS people, so if You don't mind I don't wanna go public with that! :eek:

P.S. ...ugh, every day something new comes up according to finishing my house interior redecoration. Still have a full house of craftsmen, electricity, gas company, woodworkers...etc. Just ain't got one minute of my free time when come home from work to visit my dealer and finish this "nightmare" oder, ...damn house! :(
But OK, not a big deal, as soon as I find free afternoon, it will be done! :rolleyes:

I was specifically referring to the four questions you listed in the first post.

Namely,

1. How long is warranty for the electronics of reflex EBMM basses? (especially worried about the new switches)

2. Should I be worried about white color finish to become yellow/cream after +5 years, or more?

3. Can You please specify me center frequencies of 4 band EQ built in reflex basses? (if isn't a factory secret)

4. How is this mahogany tone block placed under the maple top and where is positioned compared to ash parts? (if isn't a secret too)



I know the answers to 1 (the same as the warranty on the rest of the bass), and 2 (it could happen--it's happening to my white Bongo from 2004, but I like it). I was more curious about 3 and 4. If they answered questions about a bass model you don't currently own in an email to you, I can't imagine why it would be a problem to disclose here. The alternative is simply emailing customer service myself, but it seems silly to ask the exact same questions you just asked out of sheer curiosity since I'm not currently in the market for a new bass.

OK The idea of a special relationship with customer service is a problem for me.

While we want to be accessible as much as possible (its 5:52 am and Im here)The tendency of forumites is to become new best friends with staff at the company. THey are very busy...super busy and to have to answer numerous emails from individual customers is just too much. If you cant get your answers first from your dealer, distributor, or here...then feel free to contact customer service..Once.

BP, please don't be angry on me or anybody at CS people! :eek:

I got my answers and ...period! :)

It seems to me that there are many more forum members interested for the new Reflex basses, but it's a new product, so there are just not enough info around here!
