Ordered from BassNW about three weeks prior to the great Dude-Jack-BP Trifecta O' goodness. I will give them a call. Order date was around July 13th, so I am hoping arounnd October 13th I will have the fretless 4 medallion gold single H w/piezo voice of the holy in my hands.

BTW Jack, I know you say you're no fretless player, but I would be more than happy to bring it over for your perusal if you would like to try your hand at a fretless Bongo. It will have lines too...

Ahh, so that picture was one of the pirate suits!

I always thought BP was doin' a Jimi Hendrix fashion thing there...

As for ordering your Bongo with flats, I wouldn't hold out too much hope. I asked if I could get .009's on my Petrucci when I ordered it, but it was a no-go.

That would add another 12,000 options to the product mix if they let us spec the strings that we wanted. It's a great idea, but probably a real pain to implement and not worth the time & effort for EBMM.

You're right. I should keep my mouth shut when I don't know what I'm talking about, but how boring would that be?

TinyHorseman, I am NOT a fretless player, and I have had 2 fretless SR5s and a fretless SR4 in numerous attempts to prove myself wrong. I failed.

But I'll be glad to try a fretless Bongo, you betcha!

Ummm that depends where you're standing....if you're anywhere near the prickly pear in my backyard and it's kinda colored like "Heinz" I hope you're wearing shoes.

ps: I think you should ship them all with the same string...to do otherwise would cut into my very lucrative TI String business.
