Hey, sorry for getting pissy. Other stuff going on that's affecting a lot of people I care about and it's making me a little nuts.

No problemo...wasn't a very good joke anyway.

First post and an avid ERB bass and MM Bongo lover. I got a question, if someone could answer it, I'd be very grateful; Will the 6 string come with defferent pickup configs, such as single H, THAT would look really, really cool, H/H looks kinda clutterd to me. Thanks in advance.

 

[Fraxture]

Sweet. My next Bass was going to be a fretless, and I have been toying with the idea of trying out a 6 string configuration.
Was heading back to Warwick for it, but if that becomes a reality, I would love to have a bongo in that config.

Tuesday Torture - Bongo6 Style

Hot off the CNC machines....

The first six necks, mid process. They still need carving, inlays and frets. That should come tonight.

The first two HH bodies. H and HS to be made tonight.

-and yes, they are WIDE.

Hubeebaaablah!!!!

Those fretboards look like airport runways!

Sweet.

 

[Biker4Him]

Sweet!! I'll take the HS.. thank you !!!

 

[rulyøngo]

I just hope that I can buy my 4 string lava Pearl HH BONGO this year...

 

[bassmonkeee]

Oh, yeah. That's the stuff.


Has a decision been made about piezos in the six strings yet?

 

[asianjeff]

is that basswood?

i think that would look really good with trans finishes or natural/burst finishes.

 

[MingusBASS]

Yep...those are gonna be sweet.

 

[bovinehost]

It is good to hang around here.

Those look very cool, Jon. Do you have one all Sharpied up yet?

 

[Fred E.]

Oh man...I just soiled myself. Are all of the fingerboards of the same material? I love the 2 middle ones of a deeper brown.

 

[joshbrake]

Those pictures are very very cool. What happens to these 6 basses, ultimately? Will they be 001, 002, etc or are these just prototypes that get tucked away in BP's basement somewhere?

 

[meeder2]

I think the bongo with a single coil in the bridge position followed by an H would be kinda nice. Not trying to disrespect the designers here. Just a thought.

 

[Lo end PUNCH]

Oh man, thats just beautiful....single H to be made too, YES!!!!!!

 

[Bill]

Oh, man...too cool!

 

[Dr Stankface]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Those are hot.

I may have to get me one of these.

 

[phatduckk]

thats rad!
