GREAT DEAL on a fretless Bongo

I'm having a drink, but I'm not crazy.

Still, how did they get a USED one already?

Jon, aren't people waiting on these things?
 
Do I spy a nick on the bottom of the Bongo? Poor thing...
 
I'm not looking for a fretless - but i really like that color. What color is that?
 
It may have been a NAMM show thing. We still haven't produced any as of yet.

As someone quoted July 9th when they ordered their fretless Bongo, this quote makes me weep like a little girl. :(
 
That sounds like a quote from the dealer. We would never promise an instrument on any specific date....Sorry Bassmonkeee...I feel your pain :(

Yeah, I know you guys are busy making instruments.

But, If I see any webcam pics of Ernie Ball shop foosball tournaments--I assure you I'm flying to CA to crack some skulls. :eek:
 
Again I feel your pain too!!! My July 27 date was given to me by GC... then if I have to wait on top of that there be GC employees strewn across I-275 :D
 
Spec..you have a reply...I don't see how GC or any dealer can tell you the exact date that instruments will be ready. It jez don't work that way.

Well, my guy said, "10-12 weeks" when I ordered mine at the end of March. 12 weeks was July 9th for me. When I talked to Derek at the Crossroads Festival, he put the current build time at around 6 months for new orders at the time. So, I wasn't really expecting it to be done this week, anyway.

But, it was ironic that I saw my first fretless Bongo today. It must be a sign. :)
