I would love to hear and play this bass. It looks pretty cool and I agree, I love to see prototype models.

Thanks for sharing. These are great threads. Opinions are fine, but negative posters should just keep to themselves.

Yeah....I don't want to be heavy handed, but you know what my mom used to tell me?

If you don't have something nice to say.......

If you want a lesson in how to speak your mind while remaining civil, check my response to the bass in question.

THINK BEFORE YOU HIT SUBMIT.

Thanks in advance.

I really like the color, sort of like a neon Burgundy Mist. The pickups look very interesting, are those simply Stingray coils or were they custom wound for that prototype? The body is different to my eye than the Sterling, more like a guitar like the Silhouette or something.

Guys, guys.

FORGET THE COLOUR.

This was simply posted to demonstrate how EMBB basses go through an evolution of design before the finished article is settled upon.

That's all.

We all know that if it HAD ever made it into production, it would have been offered in a range of colours, right?

What is BP's take on the sound? Is that the reason it didn't hit production? So many questions. I would like to hear that bass for sure.

Dargin:


...I for one would like to thank you for giving us a glimpse of what might have been. No where else could we find this kind of information and insight. This forum is so much the richer for it.


....I also would love to get me mits on that beauty.( to steal an expression....I would give Bovine's left nut to play that bass...)


and I wonder what other gems you might have salted away down there....I pray for another installment of " Big Poppa Presents...."

a very heartfelt thank you

reminds me of my old PRS bass...

I got it cheap from the music store where I used to work - the old 3-pickup model (with the "zero pickup" mounted flush in the back! And it was almost this exact same colour, too - a shifty magenta-with-blue-sparkles deal. Perfect for Prince, but not for me, but a great bass nonetheless.

Actually, if they straightened the pickups out, I'd buy this if it was from EBMM!

The single coils are alnico (i think), and they look identical to the Bongo's single coils.
...identical you say...hmmm...... so could such a config find it's way into a Bongo??? :cool:
I know that the 'bucker has been the core of the EBMM bass but I do think there is a place inn bassdom for an "Albert Lee" bass :cool: :cool: :cool:

seriously cool lookin' bass and yes Darge, you suck for being able to get to monkey around with it!! ;)

:D
