The 2008 Question Thread

[RobertB]

BP, can you comment on any specific/unique tonal characteristics of the '08 BFR Redwood SR4? Since I've got one on the way (an HH), I'm dying with curiosity about what to expect from it tonally.

Thanks alot

I would like to know if the Bongo 6 will be available in the stealth color scheme.
Thanks!

Bump that question. I've been searching everywhere for an answer and can't find it. A stealth bongo 6 would be killer. Every metal shredder's dream

Will the SR5 sound like a Stingray instead of a Sterling now? To me, Sterlings sound good, but Stingrays sound great!

Also, have any 2008 SR5s hit "the street" yet?

The new "beta" website shows Stealth as one of the available color options for the Bongo 6.

The new SR5s should sound a lot like the SR4s...or at least closer to it than the old SR5s. The earliest that one could order a new SR5 was NAMM. It seems like most of the basses ordered then have been given delivery dates of April...possibly May, so I doubt that any of the new SR5s have hit the streets yet.
