Stingray 4 2 band - 3

That was the original list of orders placed, and I know that some numbers have changed.

On the 2eq DD's alone, I counted 5 produced:
-two were sold by a former retailer, a fretted non-MHS, and a fretless MHS.
-one went to a german retailer, which then was advertised on the bay.
-one I requested at BC, fretted MHS, which at first I was told was too late to change because all they were getting were 3eq's, then all of a sudden it showed up to them.
-Rex got the last one, fretted and I believe non-MHS.

I've got a single-H, non-piezo Dargie bongo 4.
So does oddjob.

So that's 50% of the Dargie Bongo 4 single-H run, unless the final numbers increased.

They did increase. I had one in the second order window that was "dropped" by my dealer. EBMM saved the day, and made my year, when they put it into production long after those numbers were released. There were at least five single H Bongos.
