Yup - they've had that one for a bit. Wonder what they're asking for it.

I like the color, but the black headstock doesn't do it for me. I mean not just on the Bongo, on the other LTD basses.

Ah well, that's what makes the world go 'round.

Yeah...

I agree--I don't like the black headstock with the red bass. Maybe if the entire neck were black, but otherwise it just looks out of place.

Retail is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price, Jubs. Actual sale price will be somewhat different, usually.

Retail for Bongos is between about $1650 and $2300. bassmonkee's dual humbucker with piezo is at the high end of that retail price, BTW.

The LE Bongo 5 over at Bass Central has been taunting me, though I'm starting to dig Candy Apple a bit more. I'm even starting to like Egypitian Smoke, and that scares me.
