The Great Pumpkin - picts and first thoughts

[oddjob]

Well here it is. I will try to get some natural light shots later this week.

About the color... it is somewhere between Desert Gold and Lava Pearl with more of a metallic quality... it actually is probably close to Copperhead Bronze.

The neck - is super fast for a Bongo. it is incredible. The neck and board are not as figured as others I've seen but they are nice.
Ahhhhhhhhh - naked neck!!!!!

Setup was off. I don't know what it is but I am going to have to reset it (neck is a bit off - could be the weather - the pups are really off - doubt that is weather). Give me a screwdriver and 5 minutes it will be back to factory fresh

Haven't plugged it in but it already is awesome (it is light too - will have to weigh it in a bit).

more later

The Bongo headstock looks really good in that glossy rosewood.

I like it... a lot!

I'm not real big on brighter colors, but it's pretty. The headstock on the other hand is just awesome looking. Great looking bass, hope you enjoy it!

I'm not real big on brighter colors

Either am I

Nah, love obnoxious colors (I actually wanted a neon BC Rich when I started playing in the 80s - hey, it was cool back then) - it actually isn't that bright - it is pretty dark (but reflects light like mad - will look killer with stage lighting)

Thank you all for the kind words. Just got to tuck the girl into bed, then off to the Man-Cave to amp it up.

Love the colour, love the neck. Congrats on the new bass and play that Bongo like you mean it.

That's a beauty! One problem though..... you're making me second guess my BFR color choice!.....that firemist looks a lot better in your pics than the MM website......so many choices...

Oh, I think your will be just fine (Cab Pearl will look awesome with the rosewood)

 

[the unrepentant]

Gorgeous! Lovely colour! Looks very similar to desert gold there... *sigh*

 

[GGK]

That ain't no vegetable !

Congrats, what a marvelous combo, Firemist + Rosewood = a feast for the eyes, and I bet the ears as well.
Enjoy

The all rosewood necks don't really excite me as a concept, but it really looks awesome with that combo! Just beautiful. Congrats.
