IF there were a custom shop....

[nicjimbass]

.... or if you were lucky enough to have a record deal, which would bring the possibility of any EBMM with any combination possible, what would you play? Personally, I love the feel and look of my SR5, but I LOOOOVE the sound of my Bongo, so:

SR5 body shape, basswood body, finished sunburst w/ matching headstock, maple board w/ block inlays, 24 fret neck, finished like an SR5 (not painted), all black hardware, sans pickguard, electronics mounted from the back, with Bongo HH pickups and 4 band EQ. Phew, that's quite an order! lol

So, what would you play?

The only thing I'd add to my orders if I could is a weight target. I've had heavy and light and I always prefer the light ones. I'd be willing to pay more if they could hit a specific weight but I also understand how difficult and distruptive that could be so I'm not expecting it to happen.

Mahogany PBB Bongo5 HH with black hardware and no pickguard...maybe?

 

[strummer]

Bongo 5 HH, bright yellow, no knobs, no PG.

 

[Caca de Kick]

I'd still want a regular 'ol 2eq SR4. But I'd want a gloss finished neck. That's all.

 

[Lynottfan]

All white ala Larry Graham moon (neck, body and fretboard et al) with gold hardware Stingray 4 .

 

[RobertB]

Ok, what the hell ... a derivative of the 20th SR4, with some differences: Ash body (natural satin/oil finish), Mahogany tone block, ridiculously figured Flamed Maple top (also satin/oil finish), no pg, HH pups, Flamed Maple neck & board, silver nut.

trans black please

 

[MrMusashi]

+1 on the trans black.. and while youre at it... lemme know where hellboy live so i can go borrow his beautiful black one of a kind tony levin sig

MrM

actually i think its a 2 of a kind.. so either his address, or tony levins would do it

 

[Dr Stankface]

Purple for me.

 

[oddjob]

Now this is a question I like

Greenburst or Purpleburst Bongo matching stock, maple neck (naked), black/cream 7 ply guard, maple board, black hardware - HS with the bridge H moved into the single H position

 

[TomPlaysBass]

Hmmmm,

I'd get:
SR5 model

Flamed maple top w/matching headstock

Blueburst, no pg, rear mount knobs

Black hardware

Ebony fingerboard

and the H/S/S setup with the middle S out there with the other pickups.

I'm beginning to see why the creative genius is not left into the hands of the masses...

 

[Will_Spengler]

Ive already mentioned it really in a thread i posted today:

HH SR4
2 band EQ + piezo

 

[thunder]

werid colors and string thur is a must!

 

[syciprider]

21 fret Bongo 4H. The ultimate funk machine!

 

[bovinehost]

I have everything I need. Really. I was reading the other custom shop thread and trying to come up with something, but aside from maybe a cool finish (say, green with red flames, heh heh), my basses are just about exactly what I'd want anyway.

EDIT: I'd order a five string version of the Flaming Biff Bongo, though. I surely would.

 

[phatduckk]

id want a trans black and/or trans white HS Sterling

the only non-cosmetic mod I'd want would be to have position 5 be as loud as the other positions.... or at least a bunch louder than it already is.

 

[Dr Stankface]

Hmmm... I thought about something interesting.

A standard StingRay 5 neck on a proportionate Albert Lee body.

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

Lighter bodies (StingRays) and a satin finished neck.
