Patience Pays Off

[silverburst]

I have wanted this since I first saw it, and had considered having my own built, but it is finally mine. My pictures do not do it justice, it is truly gorgeous (and the loudest bass I own).

Layla approves:

 

[Manfloozy]

Oooh, congrats!

 

[projectapollo]

Congrats. Looks like a stealth hardware package on a white body, perhaps?
What is the dog's name?

 

[Oldtoe]

I'm so glad you like it, Rex!

 

[danny-79]

Looks killer !

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

How did you happen upon a white body? A refinish?

 

[TherealAC]

Damn that looks amazing!
Congratulations!

 

[danny-79]

Just come back for a second look, I'm i correct in saying its a stealth that has been refinished ? Looks great by the way

 

[Big Poppa]

I remember this bass was it mmbassplayer?

 

[syciprider]

Tuxedo Bongo. I can see adouglas rocking this in one of his gigs.

 

[cellkirk74]

I remember a thread about someone swapping parts on his Bongos. Was that 2009?

I remember this bass was it mmbassplayer?

Hey! It was Ben's, and I think he got it from Lisa.

It was a stealth that had the body refinished by Michael Dolan. No parts were swapped...

 

[Norm66]

Pretty cool. I dig it. Congratulations!

 

[bassmonkeee]

Beautiful. I was certainly lusting after that one. I'm glad it went to you, Rex.

Here's my tuxedo HS Bongo:

FYI--I'm playing a gig tonight near the Carter Center if you feel like a little drive from Alpharetta at a cool place called 2 Urban Licks from 7-11.

Rex with a tux, NICE!

 

[Grga]

Congrats silverburst, a nice baby. My stealth Bongo is called "Flecki" which is German and means patchy .. I put some white nailcolor on the little screws for the potis to check the settings faster when the roomlight or stagelight is to dark for my eyes.

 

[five7]

Score for sure, very nice. That S in the front has got to sound cool!

 

[Aussie Mark]

Nice tux, Rex!

 

[Basswave]

Very nice...I love the feel on the back of a Stealth neck.

 

[adouglas]

Very nice...I love the feel on the back of a Stealth neck.

Hasn't yours worn smooth yet?

The satin Bongo neck finish becomes glossy after awhile. Never gets to that goopy-sticky-feeling urethane feeling, though.
