My girlfriend hates it! She says the colour looks like puke! :confused:

She likes the Martini inlays though. She is watching me post this and not protesting!

I don't understand girls! :confused: :(

Couple of things I can clear up.

These basses will be available to all dealers and all customers...even you. Yes, you. Yes, yes, I'm talking about you. Stop asking yourself if I'm referring to you. I am.

In fact, some Big Giant Retailers were sniffing around the Dargie's Delight Sterling today. Paul and I tried to distract them with shiny beads and trinkets, but I think they were on to us.

I don't know anything about any models being left out of this offer. (Unless it's the one you really, really want. You can't have that one.)

I know a Luke has already been ordered, and we all agree that the Luke really fits in with the martini motif. If you know Luke, you know what I'm talking about.

Doug, I am very sorry to tell you that the rights to the term "Martini Olive Green" have been legally attributed to high-ranking individuals at Camp Bovine.

We do not nor will we ever accept "Dargie Green" as a color. It is either Logan Green, Martini Olive Green or you may use the acronym, MOG.

Any deviation will result in a nighttime visit from Koogs.

Okay, you can have maple and you can have rosewood! Unless it's a Bongo. Everyone knows that Bongos do not come with maple, so just shut up.

You can have fretless. Lined fretlesses will have all the standard martini inlays. Unlined will have two martini inlays at the 12th fret.

I think the pricing has been mentioned, but if not:

Add 150 retail to the regular retail price of the model/configuration you want.

For instance, if you're looking at a single humbucker Bongo 4, retail is 1610 (I think). If you want it in MOG, retail would then be 1760.

(For the record, I thought the upcharge would be more like 250, as it is with other limited edition instruments. Thank BP for wanting to get these basses/guitars into your hands at the most reasonable price possible.)

Matching headstock, except on the Bongo which already has one, is 100 retail upcharge.

Okay, that's all I can come up with for now.

I'm going to see if I can upload some photos, although you've really already seen the Dargie Sterling......

This means she thinks it's really sexy, and feels very threatened (as wimmen tend to do by such things as hot guitars, basses and motorcycles) and needs lots of reassurance PDQ that you're not about to ditch her for a Dargie Delight.

This means she feels the need for a drink to steady herself in face of unexpected competition for your attention; expect her to try and get you drunk, and then take advantage of you; don't worry, Dargie Delights will still be available in the morning.

This means you're either normal or exceptional, and if you really want a Dargie Delight, she'll just have to figure out a way to get one for you; don't worry, real men with good taste in guitars, basses and motorcycles don't grow on trees (yet) :)

Isn't that like a pony? You know you can't ride those small horses hard. :eek:

According to Aziah this afternoon via telephone the only two models that won't be available in MOG will be the Axis and Axis Super Sport (whatever those are)...no mention of the Silo.

I have been told by Jack via cell phone just a few minutes ago that the order window will be only 10 days but that window isn't "officially" open yet until the build codes are made up next week.

Hey BP, I hope you all are having a good time and that somebody is taking lots of pictures.

I'm real patient now, I've got an order in for a lefty DD Sterling H/S (Thanks again by the way) and still have a nice Black Bongo H in the oven about ready to come out, just to hold me over hee hee.:D :D :D

Be safe and make Jack buy you a beer!

Cool avatar! I'm a big ELO fan. Seen them 47 times! :eek:

Righteous on the ELO !!!
Lucky you! I only saw them once; live in Toronto, Canada; mid 70s, analog, pre-computer/electronica; serious performance!

Totally inspiring for a wannabee bass player, but the SR4 was just being born, and SR5s were just a twinkle in BP's hairy eyeballs; Sterlings were still far, far away; and BONGOs were drums you banged on in kiddygarter :eek:

Thanks to BP and the EBMMgang, now we're lucky to have such hot Music Man basses with such cool options as the Dargie Delight :)
