The DD hopeless gear whore thread

Ok, fess up Knuckleheads, who's on the MOG list already?

*raises hand*

 

[Wasabi]

Not me. While I love the color, to me, the martini glass inlays sort of limit the overall versatility aspect of the bass. For example, it might be kind of hard to play it in church ;-) If I could just have the color with a normal fretboard, I'd likely pull the trigger.

 

[maddog]

My eigenvalues are purely imaginary right now.

I'll make a decision eventually, just hope it isn't too late.

 

[Tom F]

I'm in. I've never even had a martini, but the color is too cool to pass up.

I don't even drink hehe (well I do, but only overseas in restricted ports)

 

[bassmonkeee]

I'm in. Single H Bongo 5.

W00t.

The only thing that would have been better than martini glasses would have been little agave cacti.

 

[James Hill]

Definitely going with one. I've already sold my VJ on Ebay and I'm currently trying to sell my Flea and Sterling. Hopefully I'll be able to get a couple of Bongos in different configurations.

Wow! The members of your church must have Superman vision if they could make out a martini glass inlay from where they sit.

Yeah but think of the powerful symbolism of the upset orientation of the glass. It could mean that drinking is not cool! Imagine the impact it can make to AA members!

Bongo 4H or HP (just waiting on Dude and Jack )

 

[syciprider]

I have until the official ordering window to decide between an SR4H/maple/matching HS or a *gasp* Bongo 4H.

It's tearing me up inside.

Ritch,

choice between the 4 and the 3 band, I'd give up the P option. But that's me.

I think I am sensing subliminal messages...

Ha! It's funny...I remember one church bass player worrying people would have a fit with the "Badass" bridge on their bass ;-)

opshaw
I doubt anyone would notice. The only thing people notice are the colors. "Oh, your bass is blue/black/pink this week."


Anyway, 'round about Monday a SR4 HS should be on order.

 

[hankSRay]

Well I'm in, and I'm pulling a "pathdoc" in order to get me one. Its either gonna be a single H Sterling with rosewood fretboard or a single H Stingray with rosewood and mhs.

 

[sandman@midlife]

I'm in. Bongo 5H/S.

DAMMMMMIT!!
we're ending up with the same friggin' basses man!

 

[todd4ta]

I really need a fretless 5, so I'm going back and forth between an SR5HH and a Bongo 5H (leaning strongly towards the Bongo).

It will be lined to get more glasses

I'll be playing mine at church, I don't think anyone will see the inlays. If they do, I'll just say that they're communion glasses.
