Not-so-subliminal hint:

A Ball Family Reserve Bongo would be, like, really sweet. Really.

Is there a place to ogle all the BFR finishes?

 

[iamcatwarrior]

Those are some truly gorgeous basses. I especially love that quilted-top green one with the maple fretboard.

By the way, how do obtain one of these? I was always under the impression that only a handful of the BFR instruments were made and then never again.

 

[Psycho Ward]

Wow!
