Bongo color wishes

[JayDawg]

Ebony is becoming so scarce...

It is but I like what Bob Taylor is doing about it. Don't know if you ever saw the video or not but here it is.

After seeing this video, I felt bad for what we have done in making ebony so rare.

That's exactly what I meant. I should have said "non-striped" ebony is so scarce.

I've always wanted a Bongo in True Gold, Medallion Gold, and Olive Gold.

Hmm... seems to be a recurring theme...

Great video. Thanks for posting it. Glad to see Taylor leading the way responsibly.

I think Bass Central still has one.

Maybe we can beg Big Pappa to do that... and just so happen to implement it in time for mine on order?
Also - if either of you decide to let go of the sparkle green Bongo's, let me know please!

They did mahogany Bongo's?

I really have been away too long.................

I really like the Pearl Blue and the Candy Red. If they were to do another run of the Mahogany PDN's, I definitely pick up another one. I love the one that I have.

Yeah, they might... I just won't deal with B.C. though. Bad experiences in the past, and they don't bother updating their website... so I just avoid them. I'll wait and hope a 5HH pops up on the used market.

What color does it have on the back of the neck? Any finish at all?

The back of the neck is a roasted birdseye maple neck.

 

[uOpt]

Weee.

Right. So there's my color wish right there.

IMHO the sillyness of covering up the bongo necks solid all the time can as well stop. The headplate side paint flake off anyway so why bother?

 

[ZiggyDude]

So, and this mifght have been asked already, how does it change the sound and feel?

I saw the new Majesty guitar, and it's awesome! it will be really cool that EBMM do fisnishes like that ones in the Bongo...specially replacing the PG for the same treatment that they did in that guitar...it looks really great!
