Hey guys:

This was posted over on the other side of the fence, so as to display the interesting designs of a Steve Morse model guitar.

However, there sure are some nice Bongo's in the pics as well...take a peek:

I knew it!!! Dave laRue had a Stratus Blue Spakle... BONGO!!!

 

[MingusBASS]

That looks to be a blue sparkle Bongo 4. I really dig it!

On second glance, it looks like a... Stratus Blue Sparkle BURST BONGO!!! Hahaha, that looks so awesome.

... He should take that pickguard off.

Edit: Thanks for the great link, dwf1004.

Edit Pt. II: It's a Stratus Blue Sparkle Burst Bongo w/ PIEZO! ... Okay, I'll stop now.

So Not Fair!

 

[TSanders]

on first glance I thought it was a blue dawn Bongo.

I've finally seen a bass with a sparkle finish that I like.

Is the other Bongo a burst finish of some kind? I can't tell if it's Desert Gold or if it's the lighting.

maybe i should just be quiet, but that bass looks very like blue dawn to me. however im not sure what the stratus blue looks like so eh. but looks very much like blue dawn to me. if that was an HH id kill for that beast. mr. gitarz, an official color please?

 

[jongitarz]

That would be Blue Dawn

 

[Mobay45]

That would be Blue Dawn

Is the other Bongo straight up Desert Gold or is it some kind of custom burst finish?

 

[skabassist13]

i believe the 5er is lava pearl. lava pearl or desert gold. but id put my money on lava pearl.

 

[Psychicpet]

Definitely a burst of some kind, I've done some pictures of my Desert Gold and even with weird lighting it doesn't go like that.
Very cool finishes.
...but will they be as cool as a buttercream fretless??

definitely a Desert Gold burst though, not Lava. (maybe lava edges but the bulk of the colour is desert gold)

 

[Mobay45]

BTW, nobody's mentioned that massive rig those two Bongos are sitting in front of. Do you think everybody can hear him?

 

[jongitarz]

Pete.. You are right. That Bongo is a burst. It's the only one like that and I don't know what it would be called, and it just recently had a pickguard put on it. (He made us do it!)

I thought that bass used to be sans pickguard. It looks cool both ways. I fall firmly in the "I likes me Bongos with pickguards" Camp.

This picture is a thing of beauty:

You guys do know that this is going to start come clamoring for sparkle Bongos, right?

<----Jon

Oh, and I'm looking forward to seeing the Buttercream Bongo fretless, too! I'm sure it's going to look amazing.

He asked for one when we were painting that color

 

[Psychicpet]

Hey Todd, you notice the kind of bass stands he's using!
I wonder if Dave gets a 'Costco' type of Ampeg card for ordering that many 4x10s?
