Lord Bongo is tapped out from the Green Sparkle adventure, but if he were not, he would be ordering up a Bongo 5 w the rosewood neck because THEY ARE AMAZING.

Also, after this post, he will stop pretending to be Bob Dole and referring to himself in the third person.

What about a fretless bass would it be 100% rosewood?

Word from a reliable source is that these will not be available fretless.... PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong. Although, arguably, rosewood isn't the best option for a fretless board.

No fretless but we will do rosewood tops on the Reflex if you so desire.

!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just made a big time mess of myself. What would be the upcharge for that?

I think I'm about to swan dive into the Reflex deep end.

A rosewood top rosewood neck Reflex - I remember those 25 25th anni rosewood neck basses - said to be very special. To be honest this rosewood Reflex has caused me a real problem - was thinking of ordering a Classic Sabre but I'm seriously tempted by the rosewood Reflex - potentially two of them heading across the Atlantic then!!

Imagine a Reflex 5 HH - Rosewood top and neck....

I need to see a photoshop of it....

Is the rosewood top included in the rosewood neck upcharge? I've got a quote on the rosewood neck uplift and its very reasonable :)

For those on the fence - I own one of the 25th BFR rosewood neck basses and it really is great. I played a number of 25ths and it is really MUCH better. Really thinking about an SLO Special all rosewood..

Will these rosewood necks also be BFR's like the last ones that were ordered were or will the fretboards be traditional like all of the other regular order ones are?
