Info about my baby?

[niftydog]

Ok, so yesterday was interesting, but I'm out for a fresh start today, so here goes.

Serial no. E35969 - seeking any info available please. I was told that it was a custom order that fell through - is it possible to confirm this just for my own curiosity? Other than that, just a birthday would be awesome! Thanks in advance to whoever can help.

Now, a question: When I first saw this hanging in the music shop I didn't like it. I'd always wanted a stingray, but initially the colour didn't appeal and the pickguard was too much for me... or so I thought! Now I think it's the most beautiful bass in the world, don't you?!?!

Has this happened to any of you guys?

Carbon Blue Pearl with matching headstock and abalone pickguard

thats a great lookin bass man ...

as far as a "custom order" goes: all EB instruments can be considered"custom ordered" ... they only make a guitar/bass when an order is placed.

i really, really like the combination u got there dude!

Wow. That's twisting my head.

One of the factors (not the biggest one) in my decision to leave my Carvin behind and get a Bongo is the Carvin's pimp factor. The guy who originally ordered it went full-boat...gold hardware, abalone block inlays, quilt headstock overlay, quilt top, 5-piece neck, etc. etc.

I love the way it plays and sounds, but the appearance has always been a bit much for me to take. Sound is everything, so I lived with it.

But the photos of your bass are giving me second thoughts about abalone...that's one stunning piece of work! I particularly like the contrast between the wild-ass abalone and the understated carbon-blue body.

Damn. I think I'm subconsciously configuring my fretless Bongo, and I don't even have the fretted one yet!

That is one of the baddest basses I've seen, too frickn cool. It just keeps getting better!

Enjoy!!!

I bet it was a custom order - that matching headstock costs extra.

BTW, that is one beautiful combination of colors.

 

[jongitarz]

Very nice bass....The abaolne p/g goes with a lot of colors...Again, very nice!

 

[tkarter]

You didn't want that at first sight? You are very lucky I wasn't in the same store.

That bass totally rocks


IMHO

THAT is how blue should look on a bass!

Yep, carbon blue is the best blue I've ever seen (that's why it's my bongos color, with moonstone pg).

This one's better

 

[bovinehost]

Which one?

 

[Golem]

The blue? It's classic. It's not an exciting color, but it's a very dignified and perfect color. That pickguard, OTOH, is holymodal MF'n tripsville. And yet, the two so very different aesthetics cohabit so well on one ax. Hootathunk it?

 

[niftydog]

bah, cropped picture?! Not fair Moondog! But they both sure are nice... and so's the bass!

Hey, wow, thanks guys, now I've got that warm and fuzzy feeling - faith restored.

Thanks Aziah!
