I would love to have the roasted Bongo that Big Poppa posted a picture of a month or so ago. That looked incredible.

Don't hate for what I am about to say... I am thinking about sending my Roasted Bongo 4H off for a refin in white. The infamous white Bongo escaped me once already. I also forecast a single H Big Al 4 in my future.

Didn't I answer this already? Oh, it was over on the guitar side, yes I swing both ways!!

Hopefully (based on passing my degree) a Big Al 5 awaits in SSS configuration. The big decision is still whether to fret or not?

A Stingray 5 (with the "normal" pickguard) in Smurf Blue with a Classic neck and a maple fingerboard, and weighing 9 lbs or less.

Or, the same thing but in regular white.

I'm still loving that all roasted Bongo BP showed us a few weeks back and would love for that thing to go into production! If it does, I will sell whatever I have to sell to be able to order one. What was funny was the night before BP made that post, Rochelle had asked me if I could have 1 custom bass, what would it be? I told her an all roasted Bongo but maybe have the body made of Koa wood depending on the weight it would be. But that basswood one looked really good too though.

I'm also looking forward to the Game Changer coming out. That thing intrigues me so much. I doubt I will buy one this year as we have too much going on but maybe it will be my present next year after tax returns.

A Stingray Classic 4 with a 1.5" nut width, otherwise known as the '79 ray option. :)

Played an SLO the other day and nearly fainted, it was that good. But god, I am in love with the feel of vintage necks at the moment.

I dream that one day BP will surprise us yet another polarizing model. Breaking paradigms is EBMM's forte.

I don't want to get me another SR5 H, but I need a backup for mine. So I was looking around for a used one, couldn't find one that suits to my needs. Tried anything: Classic Stingray, several SR 5, Sterling 5 H, Bongo 5 HS (which was the best of all of them so far), and, last not least, the Reflex 5 HSS.

I made a decission: I'm gonna get me a stealth-black Reflex 5 hss with a rosewood board. I just have to wait until I've sold some of my old paintings, all from well known german artists, all 19th century. This will happen during the next 4 weeks. Just in the moment the money drops in my hand, I will call my favoeurite dealer and order my verry own Reflex 5 HSS. This is the bass for all my needs.

Sorry, good old StingRay 5, I think that you will become the bachup - bass.... ;-)

Hmmm, let's see........I'd like to have:

The Biff Baby Bass (I think Jack has her and she needs to get out more)
The Mahogany Bongo (probably the coolest bass ever made)
Reflex (love the look of that bass)
Big Al SSS (just to play around with all the sounds)
Nefertutti (because that was the first Bongo I ever played)
Heinz (so 20 years from now I can say I owner her once)

I could keep going you know. :D

The SmallEQ fretless has magical qualities that appear to make even me be able to play fretless, which is very serious magic indeed.

I should have asked BP to sign Heinz at their meeting in Dallas. (They discussed new finishes.)

The "Biff Baby" is a Stingray with flames and is blue and red with a message inlayed on the board. T-Bone, you're talking about the "Flaming Biff" Bongo, maybe? (A name that makes BP uncomfortable.) Both basses are pretty damned impressive!

I would say that for 2012 I would enjoy that Randy Jackson Lamborghini Orange Reflex only with an HSS configuration.

;)

Ahhhh, I was getting the two mixed up. Well then, since this is a wish list, I'll take both. :D

The "Biff Baby" Stingray is one of the coolest basses out there. Period. Might be because of her history. The "Flaming Biff" Bongo is definitely the coolest Bongo out there.

And then there's Heinz.......

Classic SR5 with birdseye neck, mint green finish and hopefully a lighter ash body. Let me know if you guys ever entertain the idea of building this bass with alder or swamp ash bodies.
