Gee, if EB had the Bongo in the "Build You Instrument" database I'd show you a 4-HH black body, matching headstock, rosewood neck, white pearloid pickguard beauty soon to be delivered. :D
 
That's the Burnt Apple Pie finish. I really didn't think I'd like it that much but I'd only seen photos - in real life, it's a mighty fine looking machine.
 
hey man thats awsome i like the dark black fadin into a red sweet :D :D its a keeper but does it play as good as it looks i bet it does just wonderin
 
It plays purdy nice, I'd have to say. I still have a little tweaking to do on the setup since I strung it up with TI Flats but I reckon it will be a major-league thumper real soon now.

Thanks!
 
Did you ever find that, as you're setting up the action, that the saddles wouldn't align paralell to the neck? What I'm saying is that the saddles would lean to one side. I found it very annoying when I was setting up my bass.
 
i no what u mean i was just tweakin my guitar the other day cuz my lil sistaz got a hold of it and the saddles wood not stay parralleli dono what i did but i finally got veerything just back to normal:D
 
I had to loosen all the strings and force the saddles in place by pressing my fingers down on them really hard and tightening the strings again. Much pain. Haha.

EB employees probably get a lot of suggestions, both great and stupid, for your products, but I think some sort of new bridge should be used to prevent this. Maybe a sort of "track" on the bridge? That is, the metal plate underneath the screws for the saddles should be lowered like a small tench so the saddles will follow a path parallel to the neck.

I'm no bass genius so I don't know how or if the "shifting saddles" affect performance or intonation at all, but I'm a neat freak and seeing that bothers the crud out of me. Haha
