I'm seriously looking at this Bongo on eBay, as well. Anyone know how the RW neck affects the balance of the Bongo? Neck dive? My current stock Bongos have no neck dive which I really like.

I can't comment on balance but I do endorse your potential purchase of this fine specimen!

I've had two BFR -necked basses and checked the weight of each neck vs a maple/rosewood version I had and they were really close in weight - about 0.2 lbs heavier at most. So neck dive isn't a problem at all.

I asked the seller on ebay about the origin of this bass:

"Hello! I got it from a local guy. He told me this bass was custom
made for Ben Harper's bassist and is 100% original. Thanks."

Someone please bid on this... I am in too weak of a state for this to only have 11 minutes left with no bids and an extremely reasonable asking price!

MINE!

Can't believe I was the only person to bid on it. So, it's forum bound. I'll throw up a new thread and share the serial once it arrives.

Congratulations!

I was going to bid on this one and decided last minute to pass as we have some home maintenance needs to attend to (being a responsible adult sucks sometimes). I'm glad to see someone here grabbed it. :) I look forward to readind more about it.
