OFFICIAL 2012 Honeyburst PDN Club !

[tunaman4u2]

We need a central location to post all the pictures of these beautiful premier dealer honeyburst basses!

Post pictures, sound clips, pickguards, experiences, reviews, tonal thoughts etc!

I will be recording a direct comparison "regular" Sterling HH vs PDN Sterling HH soon

Heres mine although there really are no pictures that can do it justice... please post yours!

Gratuitous family shot with poor winter lighting!

Well, you know I'm gonna want in:

When I get mine, I will post pictures of it. I ordered a PDN Honey Burst Bongo 4 HHp but the order somehow got lost? Fortunately, Music Man and Bass Central both have excellent customer service and the bass was re-ordered in September and should either be finished any day now or arrive at Bass Central any day now. It was also the only 4 HHp Bongo made so she will be an original. Woot!

Here is mine again... As far as I know it is the only Single H 4 banger Bongo.

This is all I've got with the EBMM tort for now. I will try and get some more pics added soon if possible. Love this Bass!!!!

EBMM Board Newbie Question........PDN = ????

PDN = Premier Dealer Network. In this case, it's referring to a special limited edition EBMM guitar/bass configuration that was only available to dealers who are in the Premier Dealer Network for the month of April 2012. There have been a few different PDN-only limited edition models in the past and, I suspect, there will be some more in the future. You have to keep your eyes peeled for the announcements here on the forum.

Here's mine:

Stu,
that thing is pure class! If you ever fall out of love with her (which I know you won't) please drop me a line.

I love these basses.

 

[KevinM]

Lots of Honey Roasted awesomeness here

Stu, If you ever fall out of love with her (which I know you won't) please drop me a line.

May I reply that if that ever happens Stu contacts us so we can talk him down?

 

[laneline]

No question this run is just incredible, visually stunning and more importantly they are tonal bliss. I have to use some of TPB's pics as you can see I need a better camera. But I won't need another 5HH Bongo this baby is staying.

LOL!! Very good point!!! I'm pretty sure I will never sell this glorious work of craftsmanship but it's great to know you guys are there for me!!

I gotta say, I am loving playing the fretless and it is now my #1. To be honest, it's hard to compare it to the fretted because, now that I have it, I realize they're kind of different animals and the tone is a fair bit different. But I am surprised I love playing it this much. I was worried that I would find it frustrating to play or that I would suck at it. Sure, it took a bit of getting used to...but, surprisingly, not that much. I'm also REALLY surprised how much muscle memory really works to get me where I need to go. I need to work on my fretless technique so I can coax more mwah out of it when I want to. Probably if I had flats on it instead of Cobalts it might be easier as the wound strings sort of resist the kind of micro sliding that I think may be better for mwah.

But...anyway...I digress!! Carry on!!

 

[MK Bass Weed]

Yeah. I'll see your 4 and raise you 2.

 

[JayDawg]

Just found out today that mine is en route to Bass Central as I type this. I'm assuming they will get it by Friday and then it will be shipped to me so I should have it most likely by a week from this Friday! Woot!

Hi, is this valid to achieve a membership in this honorable club?

 

[Holdsg]

Most definitely. That's beautiful.

 

[tunaman4u2]

Page 2... way to go!
Pics do these no justice... great job for posting, I KNOW we have more PDNs on this forum so lets see em!
Holdsg: Beauty of an AL
Laneline: The Bongo is such a beauty with this run...great call
Stu: My favorite so far, that fretless showing off the Pau Ferro is incredible!

My tone take: DEFINITELY warmer but still has that strength in the mids. I find myself rolling off bass & increasing mids & treble just a bit. I'll be looking into strings that have tighter\grindier lows soon. FANTASTIC tone... just love this thing to pieces!

You have my vote.
Not that you need it. That Ray speaks for itself.

MK's sixer looks killer, too.

I just got word that Bass Central received my Bongo today and it was shipped right back out to me. According to my tracking number, I should receive it on Wednesday. I am excited!
