Alright no more e-mails to Scott! Let me be the first to officially guess that it's going to be clear acrylic like the old Ampeg Dan Armstrong basses.

If it is.....COUNT ME IN!

 

[jongitarz]

That's it! Except we will be painting the clear bodies Blue Dawn, and they will all have brass nuts, and decoder rings will be included! Get yours NOW!!! Sorry...I couldn't help mice elf

 

[bassmonkeee]

I think I've got it figured out too. I'll pm you Dargin. Will you let us know if we're right?

Scott's already told me I'm wrong, and I'm glad I was wrong.

You have a PM.

 

[Psychicpet]

hmmm.... Black Onyx Sterling... Stealth Bongo.....

 

[rulyøngo]

Its funny I was thinking how cool it would be to have a BLACK ONYX BONGO!!!... If that is the Stealth I'm gonna have to buy one!!!

 

[tkarter]

No emails. My is guess passive with any color or amount of strings you want under 5 on the stealth Bongo.

If I guessed right how bout a free one of them?

I like Bongos, I love my SR 5 and EB really need do no more than just be EB for me.

Invisible. I told Scott I wouldn't bring it up since it would rehash an old debate. I'm just glad I was incorrect.

 

[Rod Trussbroken]

Whoever goes, remember "Rod T....." wants pics....OK?

( High res if possible )

[bovinehost]

Hey Gav, I have solemn promises from Lowell to hook me up, which of course means you get the reach-around hook-up from me.

Photos, I mean. I think he said he and Bob were going.

 

[TSanders]

Anyone think a maple necked Bongo may be revealed??

 

[Rod Trussbroken]

You da man Jack

[MingusBASS]

Anyone think a maple necked Bongo may be revealed??

I think its about time for that!



Andrew

 

[bovinehost]

I don't understand this fascination with a maple-necked Bongo.

Is it just because there hasn't been one so far?

Is it that we always want what we think we can't have?

 

[MingusBASS]

I like the look of maple necks better although rosewood is growing on me. I also like the difference(however slight) in the tone of the wood.

Andrew

 

[bassmonkeee]

Um...guys? ALL Bongos have maple necks. They just happen to have rosewood or pao ferro fretboards attached to them.

 

[Dargin]

I will post some high resolution photos of new products if I get the chance before NAMM.

BM, where can I see decent/full pic of your white whale?
At the moment I'm torn between white & desert gold 5HH.
And very curious to see buttercream (buttercream, honey-
burst, and burnt apple should hang in my kitchen ).

Here's Moby.

But, don't get too smitten--white is no longer a Bongo option. Bass Central still has some in stock, (4HH, 4SH, 5HH, and 5HHP), though.

I bet the buttercream will look amazing--expecially with a tort guard. But, the black headstock (assuming that will be following the Ltd Ed trend) would kill it for me, personally.

 

[Moondog]

Thanks BM.
Yeah - I'm looking @ the inventory over at BC
& want to make a move but then I read Dargin's
post and may have to hold-off a week to get a look
at the buttercream. However, the black headstock
kinda kills it for me as well - I need to see it 1st.

Pretty please: anyone @ SLO care to comment on the
Bongo LE buttercream headstock color??
