+1, and that's the key. For that very reason, the majority of my purchases have been sight unseen too. The only exception that I can think of was the first Ray I bought.

I had my white fretless Bongo on order one as soon as I found out that they were finally being offered in fretless (after I broke down and bought a fretted version, of course).
I can't believe I've owned Bongos for 6 years now. Funny how the "too soft for instrument bodies" basswood is holding up just fine with no nicks or dents. Internet supergeniuses wrong? Who knew?

You'd think my original Black Sapphire would be in little splintered pieces by now, and yet........

Besides my 92 Stingray that I played for 5 minutes before I payed it, I got my three other EBMMs without seeing or playing them in person.
I saw the Big Al for the first time when I opened the box and I don't know any other bfr rosewoodneck bass here in germany.
And they are all good. I will do it again.

I bought the 25th BFR and ordered a Classic unseen (except for the pictures, of course).

My Big AL was ordered from Ye Olde Music. At the time of its delivery, it was the only one i had ever seen or played. The color Olive Gold i had only seen once on a Bongo at Bass Central. I knew i wanted the craziest color and pickguard combo EBMM made which is why i went with it. All the other basses i have a had a chance to either play it or a similar model prior to purchacing. On a side note i think Olive Gold is the best color EB ever made and it is a real shame that it did not catch on. I sure would order a Big Al 5 H in that color today if it was available. JOSH
