[Dargin]

Did you place an order for a lefty Bongo?

 

[Psycho Ward]

I'm afraid to say, top secret contacts were involved... ah hell, YES!

It's about damn time! Now enjoy the LONG wait.

Awesome! The countdown begins...

Congrats buddy! About time eh?

 

[Psycho Ward]

I guess a little clarification is in order, technically it’s not ordered. Since I will be over in the UK when EBMM starts accepting orders, Perry at Bass-Central agreed to write up the invoice and will order it for me the first day of the NAMM show. A deposit is in and this is the closest I’ve been in my quest for a lefty Bongo!

My “first” lefty Bongo is going to be this:

ButterCream 4 string, H/H with a tort pickguard. The only disappointment is the limited edition case isn’t available for us lefty’s

Anyway, I haven’t been this excited since… since, well I guess since I ordered my beloved natural EBMM SR5.

And as far as the wait goes I look at it this way, waiting for it to arrive is nothing compared to waiting for it to even be offered!

Congrats!

 

[MingusBASS]

That sucks about the case, although I can understand why.

Lefty SR5's look weird to me, I can't imagine what the Bongo will look like.

Oh, you can bet I'll be posting pictures... a few months from now.

Psycho, imagine :
- the CNC engine used to cut the lefty bongo bodies explodes ;
- there's social conflict in the factory producing the buttercream paint and workers are striking for an unprevious during ;
- all the basswood stock suddenly gets attacked by gigantic hungry termits

...ok, ok I stop. I'm really happy you can get a lefty bongo after expecting it for such a long time ! Congrats.

Still 3-4 mounth before deliverey but they'll be short.

hi man i have a question what do you think about the sterlings?

 

[Psycho Ward]

I would be the wrong person to ask, as I’ve never had the pleasure to actually play one. (Being left handed limits the availability to have access to many things…) But I will say this; if it’s an EBMM it will be a high quality instrument. I currently own 11 basses, several costing way more than my SR5 and NONE of them compare. That’s why I’m buying a Bongo sight unseen and have no worries that I’ll love it!

The Sterling has a large following and many diehard fans, do a search or start another thread, I’m sure several happy owners will be happy to tell you all about them.

[Dees]

congrats, finally

 

[Psycho Ward]

Thanks Dees and the rest of you for your good natured support. I know I’ve been a broke record (remember those) in my campaign for a lefty Bongo. Most of it was sort of a running joke, that got old and I’m sorry for that. But I really want to be a Bongo owner and now that is going to happen… YES!!!

Thanks most of all to Big Poppa and all the EBMM folks, I understand that the lefty market is a very small profit center and is probably more of a goodwill gesture than anything else. But I for one highly appreciate the effort and offer my heart felt THANKS!
