Ok...I pimped my Bongo

You could either call EBMM to order one direct from them or, if they don't make PG in the material you request, you could contact Brian Bootz (eBay handle: dazbootman), go to Pickguards.us, or even Pickguards.com.
 
Ritch,
That could be the most obnoxious bass posted
on this forum & I absolutley LOVE it. My next
bass has gotta pop like that one! If it ever
starts to get on your nerves, PM me ;)

The photos don't do it justice... the color is just awesome (it does some interesting things under stage lighting). The color, itself, has the small sparkles in it that are a dark blueish/green and gold (kind of like the radiance red sparkles). The abalone and miror pgs are both Boot's handywork. The mirror and white ice are just awsome on it and the abalone is just soooooooo obnoxious that I like it (and it actually matches the sparkles).

Don't think I would ever actively seek to get rid of it (but I always entertain serious offers).
 
Nice! What are you doing with the old black pickguard? I think it would look good on my bongo! ;)

the prints are bad but clean up real easy with reg maintence (little Windex and a papertowel after I play)

Dumb question: How easy does it scratch? I've been thinking about getting a mirror pg for my blue pearl Bongo, but I can see all the tiny fingernail scratches near the neck from where I've been slapping (for example) on my black pearloid guard. How noticable is it on a mirror?

BTW Stunning look. With a bass like that, surely you don't even need a lightshow at gigs!

Hm... This thread needs a theme song...!

"Bling bling, everytime I come around yo' city,
Bling bling, pinky ring worth about 50.
Bling bling, everytime I buy a new ride,
Bling bling, Lorenzos on Yokahama tires.
Bling bling~"

:D
