Just thinking

[scottbass71]

Hi guys,
I was playing my bongo last night (Man I love that bass) and my fretless stingray ray and band rehearsal and started thinking during a break
Couple of questions to ponder and hopefully jon can give his input

Will the Bongo ever come with a maple fret board??

If it doesn't would a stingray neck (with maple fretboard) fit on a Bongo body to make a Stingo or bongray etc. (I do have a maple stingray but would never do it - just thinking)

Also one last thing has anyone played a fretless bongo yet and if so how do they sound and compare to a fretless ray.

food for thought

I can only answer the question about the Ray neck on the Bongo body: nope.

Thanks Jack that was quick (I bet all the girls say that)

Why is that?
is it a different size neck pocket?

 

[jubjub721]

i think there is no neck pocket is there

i think its one solid peice o wood

 

[bovinehost]

You think what is one solid piece of wood?

Me? Yes, kind of.

But EBMM makes no basses like that, no.

 

[scottbass71]

But a bongo has a neck plate
jack is right MM never make through body basses

I don't know if there will ever be a maple Bongo. You never know. ....And Jubs....we do not make set neck or neck through instruments. Now go do your homework.

I mentioned to Derek at NAMM that I think an all maple Bongo would be deadly.

If we buy enough of them, they might start doing some nutty stuff like that.

Remember--they weren't going to do fretless necks for a couple of years, either. But, since my new fretless is currently in SetUp, things change.

Thanks Jon and bassmonkee please let me know how the fretless bongo goes I am very interested in that (I might even get another bongo but this time a fretless)
