ooo nice, does this mean the build a bass option has been updated a bit?

 

[xcental34x]

No. It just means I've been sneaking around dealer's inventories.

That got me all excited!!

Nice. Ya, I've found that if you lurk around the EBMM website, you will eventually stumble across the index pages for the BYI section, with links to all the combos available, sorted by model number and other options. In fact, Click here to be taken to it. I think all the basses are in the 100-200 category? I don't know the model number for the Bongo and haven't found it yet. For the larger pics, they're sorted in the "large" directory for the SR4s and mixed in with the thumbnails for the SR5s, I believe. I haven't looked through it entirely.

This is how I made that "Dig the Rainbow" animation I posted a while ago.

BTW: If the folks at EBMM and/or mods deem this inappriopriate, please go ahead and edit/delete.

ahh. that is awesome. once you figure out the "code" its really easy to understand what everything means and you can find what your looking for fairly quickly. plus if you just browse you can find loads of intresting colors.

Why are all the available colors not available to see on the "Build an Instrument" section?

i think the images are named like this:

opent his in a broswer window:
http://www.ernieball.com/musicman/instrument_images

then go here with another browser window: http://www.ernieball.com/mmonline/color_chart/available.html

the images seem to be named:
ModelNumber-color-neck-pickguard.gif
i dont know where to get model number from but im assuming model number covers info like JP7 w/o piezo. the rest of the numbers are from:
http://www.ernieball.com/mmonline/color_chart/available.html

so the image:
http://www.ernieball.com/musicman/instrument_images/970/970-10-20-00.gif
970 probably means jp7
10 means: Pearl redburst
20 means: rosewood neck
00 means: no pickguard

i think thats how it goes

EBMM hasn't updated their website in a while. However, word has it that they will be doing so this Spring.

Does it also come with a secret decoder ring?

 

[cgworkman]

I really wish we could still get that color......

With all the great reasons to kill us, you think THAT would do it?
