Emerald Sparkle Bongo Teaser

Very nice. Sparkle finishes are difficult to do well, I understand. Of course, EBMM would have this licked.
I had an Orange Flake Modulus Funk Unltd- it was a gift from one of my goil singers- Never saw myself playing a flake finish, but it was cool; they look OUTRAGEOUS on stage!

That Bongo looks particularly nice in that finish- How do they finish the back of the neck, black?

If i didn't already own/operate perhaps the greatest Bongo the Planet has ever known,- or will EVER know- I would covet that finish in a Bongo, which come to think of it... I do!

Go figure!:D
 
Are the green sparkles going to be PDNs only? Or a limited run for a specific shop (like some of the GC limited colours)? That green sparkle is dead smexy. I've already got a 5HH Bongo, but if there are 5HHP versions of this, I could probably talk myself into ordering one...

Edit: Found other threads saying PDN. Next question then is are they all pre-sold? Looked at Bass Central and Perfect Bass websites and neither list anything about them, not even a "coming soon".

Thanks

OK, apparently it pays to pay attention. I have be negligent and not monitoring these forums on a daily basis. Apparently I entirely missed this Emerald Green release thing.

I understand the order window is closed. Snooze you lose. That isn't a huge deal, because I would suspect places like Perfect Bass usually order some in. However, that works for the USA. Since I am in Canada, I am not "allowed" to buy from an American supplier. So, how would someone outside of the USA actually get an Emerald Green Bongo 5HHP if they didn't already order one?
 
Anyone mad that they missed the window, hang in there. I got my PDN used, you could too!
 
If anybody is looking for anything in particular just let us know and we can try and direct you to a store that has one available. We have lots more to ship!
 
Sterling 5 HH maple neck & matching headstock

The Perfect Bass has one of these on order but its scheduled to be built with a rosewood neck. They could change it but you would have to call James.


I'm not seeing any Reflex basses but I could be missing one here or there. I'll keep my eyes peeled and keep you guys posted.
