Welcome Back, Jon!

Thanks Jack! I will post more tonight, but I will say this. If you get a chance, go see Los Lonely Boys!!!!!. I had about 3 hrs of sleep last night, and I am a freakin zombie today.
If it crawled, swam or flew, we ate it. :eek:

More later :cool:

So, did you eat your weight in mudbugs? :D

I always have a blast at JazzFest, but I have to say the one thing I miss every year when I don't go is the crawfish bread...

Welcome back.

What you missed:

People bickering about pros/cons/economic impact of replacement pickups, people wanting sparkly finishes, me being grumpy, Jack in a 10 gallon hat, and people wanting to know "is it done yet?"

There, you're caught up now. :cool:

Geez...I'm sorry alright! :o Sue me, I have a couple jazz gigs coming up that could really use the fretless Bongo. It turns out there were some problems with my neck falling out in set-up and I'd probably have it by now if not for that. I got a little impacient and I've learned my lesson. :o Thanks to Scott for his help.

Heh--relax. You're not the only whose done it, and I was just making a joke. :D

It's all good. Besides, having played a fretless Bongo, I know exactly why you are so anxious to get it.

It was simply an attempt to humorously say "Same ****, different day."

You did notice I referred to myself as grumpy, right? :D

Ok...I lied....I am going to go to sleep. I heard tons of good music, ate too much, slept too little, and I am going to go to bed. Sounds like things were OK here.
 
OK...So I'm in the beer line minding my own bidness, when the guy in front of me looks back, sees my EB shirt, and asks if I use EB strings. I explained that I work for the company. and he says, "yeah? what do you do there?" I explained that I run the repair dept. He asks if I know who jongitarz is. I say know him?..I AM him. He just about Sh*t himself, and shook my hand and was very impressed :eek:

He comes here, but only lurks so far, and I told him to hang out with us, and he said he would. His name is Dave, and I don't know what his handle is here, but if you see this Dave, come on in and say howdy!

attention Jon

Jon

If you could be so kind to please let me know when a black saphire Bongo 5 fretless piezo comes across your bench. I would greatly appreciate it.

I am hoping it will be finished before the second week in June.
 
Gentleman,

Please use either your authorized EBMM retailer OR email to customer service to check on basses in progress.

Scott doesn't check in on the forum that often but he does read his email. Jon doesn't see your basses unless you're Tony Levin or have sent a bass in for factory authorized repair.

The forums are not the proper vehicle for this, okay?

Thanks in advance for understanding when I delete your posts!

Jack
