07 LE Question

[hankSRay]

I tried a search but had no luck. How long is the order window for the 07 LE's? Is it the entire year or less?

Bongo Gas has struck so I'm trying to figure out a way to get one of those babies w/ out putting myself in credit card debt lol.

Thanks.

I tried a search but had no luck.

There was just a thread no more than 2 days ago in which this was dicussed. Probably June or maybe July will be last chance. No exact deadline has been set to my knowledge. I am considering a Bongo 4H myself but need to flip some stuff to get it. Or I could go ahead and get one anyway knowing intervention would be much needed

Then all my GAS for a Bongo 6'er in BD has been for nothing?

Bassmonkeee brought up the topic about having the Bongo 6 in blue dawn. I think BP stated they most likely will not be available. Sure would be cool but the guys at EB already do enough for us.

EBMM production, as we all know, runs some months behind the orders. So when you order in January, the actual production takes place in the June "bucket" (or whenever...depends on the size of the backlog).

My understanding is that when the December 07 production bucket fills up, that'll be it for 07 LE orders.

Since the size of the backlog determines when each bucket fills up, and since there's no way to precisely predict how many orders will come in how quickly, it's not possible to set a precise deadline.

yup, thats my understanding as well. since production after an order takes ~5 months (maybe more) the order window is variable. so you can order up until the point that MM forecasts that the instrument will be built in 07.

Hanky may have to settle for a pearl blue bongo which is still cool with me. Thanks guys

Nothing wrong with pearl blue. I have an SR4HH and the abalone PG makes a smokin' color scheme.
