What if BP suddenly offered bound and blocked necks?

Mmmm... black/black/maple B&B

*dies*

I think blocks would look funny on an EBMM honestly.

 

[maddog]

I know what binding is but no idea on blocks. Is this block inlays or something else?

I dig the Bongo because of its utilitarianism. I prefer to have an instrument that looks better in my hands than hanging on a wall. Just me though.

Well...that would be pretty awesome! Haha.

 

[Smakbass]

I dunno if blocks would like right on an EBMM.....

 

[oddjob]

Across the river, in Kentucky, I'm sure I can find some basses up on blocks

 

[the unrepentant]

Blocks and/or binding on an EBMM (except maybe binding on some sort of BFR/LE model) would look pretty weird tbh...

What if B.P. could shoot his age? We'd probably never see him again.

I think pearloid blocks would look nice on rosewood, but it's such a minor thing....

I just can't see myself caring that much.

I'd come over on Sunday afternoons and we could shoot rockets at flying pigs.

Tell me that wouldn't be fun.

 

[maddog]

by blocks, do you mean block inlays? As in the big things that take the place of dots on the fretboard?

 

[SquidLizard]

I'm sure that's what he means, "blocks and binding" is a common term. Personally, I prefer martini glasses, but that's just me .

I think Roger Waters would buy them. I believe he is in the market for a new one.

A big + 1 here! I love the inlays on my 3 Dargies, they make those basses extra special to me.

where are all the Photoshop wizards now?

personally, I would love a blocked and bound RW neck on a white SR5 HH with pearloid guard and a matching white headstock.

would also look nice on vintage burst with black PG.

Too late with the rockets BP. The Chinese beat ya by a few years.

The SR5 seems to have that vintagey look that might go well with a B&B neck. Why should Les Paul players get all the B&B action?

Yeah, white SR5 with RW neck and pearloid blocks. Yummy.

If EBMM switched to block inlays all the Islamic Bongo owners would be really p!ssed.

 

[Kirby]

I am not big on the blocks, but the binding on an LE model, including body binding would be awesome!
