PDN 2012 Roll Call: What are you ordering and why?

[OldManMusic]

I went and put a deposit down on a PDN Bongo 4HH!

Good to have you back in the fold, Matt!

Matt, will this bass have frets? If so do you know what they are used for on a bass? JOSH

LOL, I figured I should learn at some point...... They're like those little white lines that some people like to put on their fretlesses right?

I went fretted this time because:

A) Two parts of the package are really only special to fretted basses. The stainless steel frets and the Pau Ferro fretboard. The board is standard on a fretless and well dare I say it, there aren't any frets.

....and more importantly.

B) I missed the pre order window and dealers rarely buy blank planks for stock.

My next bass will be a FL though.

Never gave my July update! It's getting closer : )

We should be seeing them within 2 months.

I keep looking at the picture of the flyer on my desktop.

Maybe we can beg for some factory pictures, maybe of just the Stingray.

If I was to buy one it would be a stingray 4 SLO maple board (Pickups)HS. Body color not sure black, gold. This is if my money tree would ever bloom! ;(

Still dying to see some factory work-in-progress pics of these beauties!! In the meantime I found this on a post on the guitar side - A YouTube video from Musikmesse showing the PDN 2012 Honeyburst models.

Honey Roasted Goodness

Enjoy.

Edit - Here are some pics from the YouTube Vid:

Great find Stu

 

[KevinM]

I'm considering putting a clear pg on my PDN Hogbongo to show off more of that Honeyburst finish.

Just got an email from my dealer telling me the expected arrival date of my new Hog Bongo will be early to mid September.

Question:

Premier Dealership Network is not available in my country, so I wonder, just for an example, if I decide in the near future to order one of exclusive EBMM basses, ...how to do that?

Could I do that by contacting my regular domestic EBMM dealer?

Keko,

I could be wrong but I believe the only way a person outside of the U.S. can get one of those basses is to way a year and get left over stock becfore they are allowed to be sold outside of the United States. I could be wrong on that but I'm thinking that is the only way. You may want to contact EBMM customer service and make sure though.

Thanks JayDawg,

I'm still considering a Bongo, but I'd like to wait for a possible 10th Anniversary model, ...so I'll wait and if something shows up, than I'll contact CS!
