The Return of the Rosewood...

[bovinehost]

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.

Yes on SLO Special

A rosewood top on the Reflex?!?!?

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!!

The past rosewood issue was BFR only? This time it will be BFR+ regular MM?

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

Dang! Just when I thought I was safe from getting more MM basses ..

How much of a premium will this be?
(pm if the question is ok)

The flyer in the OP has an Axis with the rosewood top if that helps.

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..

 

[JayDawg]

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?

 

[A.J.]

They won't have the BFR inlays.
