Please bring back Bongo colour options

[CAW]

The current options are pretty boring/lack-luster. Only the blue is interesting, but I've already got a blue StingRay5. Calling around, there doesn't seem to be much left in stock of the older colours anymore, either. I'd like to see the Orange Firemist come back, for example. Of course, what I'd really like is a purple one...

If anyone knows of a shop with a 5HH Orange Firemist still in stock, please let me know. All the places I've tried that have them listed on their websites have said they are gone now.

I was a bit suprised to see that there are 3 different types of black, and not really much else to be honest. But if a finish doesn't sell, then what are they to do?

 

[CAW]

Since they don't keep inventory, it'd be nice if they still allowed shops to place orders for the other colours. Then I could at least have one custom ordered. (Or do they not do a colour run unless they get at least x number of combined orders for it?)

Summer NAMM is next month. Hopefully, there will be some new color options introduced. Until then, please understand that EBMM has introduced a $#!+load of new product in the last year...25th/Reflex, BigAl, Classic Series, etc. Cutting back on available colors may have been necessary to get the new models off the ground without burying the factory's production capabilities.

Which shops have you checked out? I did a search of our dealers inventory and show 2 shops that may still have one left:

MUSIC N MORE
706 CHURCH STREET N
CONCORD , NC 28025-0000
704-786-2314

BASS CENTRAL
181 OXFORD ROAD
SUITE 107
CASSELBERRY , FL 32730-2100
800-545-8813
Bass Central

 

[CAW]

I didn't see a listing for Music N More. I will have to give them a call.

Bass Central only had an HS left in the Orange Firemist, if I recall correctly from talking to them this morning. They clearly said they did not have a 5HH left in the orange.

 

[CAW]

Music N More had it. So I've ordered it from them. Thanks for the pointer to them!

 

[Aziah]

Awesome! I'm glad that worked out for you

Yet another example of how GREAT EBMM's Customer Service department really IS!

[oli@bass]

I like orange!

Me two.


PS: Congratulations to getting your dream orange Bongo.... I was lucky enough to get in an order for my Desert Gold StingRay right before the colour was discontinued. Orange basses FTW!

 

[b-unit]

The customer service of this company never ceases to amaze me! I was able to order my Bongo5 in True Gold just days before it was discontinued and am so glad to have a bass in the exact color I wanted. I'm sure we will see some new colors soon but the product line of EBMM sure is expanding. If there is ever a Lefty Big Al offered, I will have to have one!

I love my Orange Firemist Bongo 5 single H!

Got my Bongo on Thursday, but didn't take a quick snapshot of it until today. Was too busy playing with the Bongo, instead.

Congrats! What a beauty!!!

 

[danny-79]

That is nice! Congrats

Is orange firemist a metallic paint? It always looked to me like normal paint. Well, I've never seen a Bongo in real life - I only know them from pictures so far. But already counting the days until a Bongo 5 crosses my way...
