You best hide this from Lord Bongo!

Unless he's drunk ... it's all well ....don't forget the SR5 Fretless unlined

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?

 

[midopa]

Do I spy a nick on the bottom of the Bongo? Poor thing...

 

[scottbass71]

I really like the colour

 

[TSanders]

Good call midopa, i think i do see a ding on the bottom.

 

[cgworkman]

I'm not looking for a fretless - but i really like that color. What color is that?

 

[bovinehost]

Looks like Medallion Gold.

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.

 

[jongitarz]

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.

 

[oddjob]

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

Jon you have private mail.

 

[jongitarz]

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.
