Our other bass dude at the shop told me that we have 4 EBMM's en'route and that he expects the BC Ray to hit the door in the AM. I am getting giddy..........

Ah, the old Fox In The Henhouse Syndrome.
Dude, you really need to be working at a women's shoe store or something.
I would be so totally screwed if I were selling basses.
Nonetheless, ARE you going to buy one?

Ah, once you play the Bongo, you're doomed! Is it a dual hummer?
Really, it hardly matters. With the exception of the piezo, which Jason can tell you about, I've played/owned all the configurations and the Bongo will spoil you like you've never been spoiled before.
Seriously.
The Bongo eats L-2500s for breakfast and then goes out for a leisurely 2.5 mile run at SF pace.
The Bongo slaps your girlfriend and makes her cry.
And then it laughs at her for being such a big baby.
The Bongo destroys Japanese cities - and makes Godzilla nervous.
Mothra steers clear of the Bongo.
I can't wait to talk to you after you fondle one. Dudley Gimpel is a freaking genius, and Sterling Ball has done what no one has done since Leo designed the Precision.
Seriously.
And you know me well enough to know that I've been through some really great basses, and while I may not be Mister Bass Monster, I'm smart enough to realize when things have changed in a very basic way, and that's what happened.
The Bongo. Whew. Call me when you've had the experience. You're going to be stunned.

Yeah, I can not wait Jack. What would really be cool is if I sell it to someone else really fast then the boss will let me order more. I would like to have the Lava or Desert Gold. THe Burgundy is cool but I am not thinking I would like it more than the DG or LP. I would really dig a black or white one too. HH 5er...yup, that is what we are getting.

Jack, I really love when you speak about Bongos this way, because i remember the first time I played it, and then think of the face of my friends hearing it for the fisrt time. The 2 humbuckers mixed really get so loud. Thinking about it makes me shiver.

I love my piezo Bongos. I think piezos plus neck humbucker and flats through 12AX7s equals heaven. When I order my third, and final Bongo, it too will have piezos.
Your post reminds me of my little ditty from last year:
I love the fact that it's called a 'Bongo' drives people nuts.
I love that it's made of basswood.
I love that the headstock is based on a can opener.
Looks like a toilet bowl? GREAT! My toilet bowl bass has chunks of your bass in its stool!
I want my Bongo to haunt the dreams of your children.
Other basses have taken out restraining orders against my Bongo.
My Bongo passes gas and blames it on the dog.
But, at the end of the day, my Bongo also happens to be the best sounding, most-comfortable-on-a-three-hour-gig, and most versatile bass I've played in 17 years.
Oh, and, I hate to be the one to tell you, but my Bongo slept with your girlfriend.

Jason, I think they should let us write the ad copy.

Sounds good to me Jack. Well, except for the fact we have never paid for print advertising on Music Man.......

Hey, I'm a BASSIST. I never expect to get paid for ANYTHING.
Hmm, I do recall a "Stingray on Steroids" ad in some foreign publication.....
Nonetheless, speaking entirely for Jason, which I believe I am legally authorized to do in some 34 states and Canada, we will write the ad copy in exchange for, um....SHIRTS!
But they have to be sparkly shirts, what do you say?

We have some ladies t's that are sparkly. I said the company has never paid for print advertising, not that there were never any ads.

Well, and it just hasn't worked, has it? Maybe it's time, based on the wonderful copy that Jason and I have produced so far - and oh, we're capable of many other things, I'm sure - to change the policy!
Seize the opportunity! Grasp your private parts! Grip the rubberized monkey head!
Wait, now I'm just making stuff up.

I wonder if that means that my BC bongo is at least in the process. A while back Dargin said my fretless from willies wasn't started yet. Hmmmm...
I can't freak'n wait.

Thanks for the update Scott! I can already tell the next 2-3 weeks are gonna feel LONG but luckily I'll be busy with gigs to keep my mind off of it.

Heh--I remember when Scott told me my SCHP fretless 5 was in the buffing phase, too.
Those were three of the longest weeks of my life.
Good luck with that.
tick tock tick tock....
heh. Seriously, I'm looking forward to seeing someone else's opinion on the SCHP fretless Bongo. You're going to love it!

I bet the phrase " Buttercreme to land in the morning" would confuse an awful lot of people.
