Just got the call!!!

[AnthonyD]

It began on May 19th with a call to my dealer... Placed the order for a fretless BC HSp Bongo 4... Time was estimated to be 10-12 weeks...

Lots of talk on this forum about lead-times being more like 4-5 months - I start thinking I'll be lucky to see it before we run through September...

Well, exactly 12 weeks to the day my dealer has it in his hands! I am one to two days shipping from him and expect to have it in my hands by Friday night! Woo-hoo!

TI Jazz Flats at the ready - This is going to be a GREAT weekend!

There's a bunch of buttercream bongos in Jersey now!

Oh man. That is awesome to hear. Get your digital camera ready.

Good to hear it! Post those pictures when you get it!

I plan on a photoshoot for Saturday afternoon!

And, here's an artistic interpretation of when Psycho gets "THE" call.

LOL!


I'm trying not to think about it...

Yow! That's some really fast turn around. Congrats!

Yep! Kudos to EBMM and my dealer who put the order in as soon as we got off the phone!

Hoorah!!!Hoorah!!!

Out For Delivery!

Keeps getting better and better!

Thanks for the support guys... I'm here bursting with excitement and have no-one to share it with! Well, except my guitar player buddies who are only mildly interested.

Comments tonight and pics this weekend...

I got "the call" when I was at my parents house in Indiana. The only problem was, my parents house is 700 miles away from my dealer. I think I played the msg:"The day is here...your fretless Bongo is in! Come on down!" a million times before I got home. Congrats man!

The "better & better" train just rode right off the tracks...

I got lines... Didn't want lines... Didn't ask for lines... I got lines...

{heavy sigh}

Won't know how it'll be handled until tomorrow. I'm totally sure my dealer will take care of it, but for right now I'm a bit bummed...

That sucks... but you can take comfort in one thing... EBMM will take good care of you!

Nah... I picture something much more violent when Psycho get's the call... the explosion could probably level a city block (Psycho + Bongo = Weapon of Mass Destruction!)

Don't I know it - I actually just got an after-hours return call from my dealer - he's already on it and corrective action is in the works!

Lines aside, the tone from this thing is INCREDIBLE! And the piezo bridge - oh my!

Only spent a few minutes with it - back in the box it goes... And the wait begins...

Again...

Man, if Psycho has to put his back in a box, he'll take out more than a city block. Postal workers would probably be making jokes about him.
