But of course! Even if I have one that looks very much like it.....

Tim, let me know if you need directions. We shall drink and play and listen to Lucinda Williams and take photos and post them here and so on.

Do black pickguards always have the little white strip around the edge?

Me too. They play so well.

In fact, inspired by how good yours looks I have a CBP/black perloid Bongo 5 HS on order.

That bass is my bass now, via Homer. Paul sold the pair to Homer and I swapped a Lakland for them both.

At the time I played 4 string.

I now play 5

Need I say anymore about THAT bass

Heh. Paul originally got the Carbon Blue 5HS Bongo from me (after customs held onto it for a month and made us both irritated). It is indeed a great bass.

Us English peeps CAN call up EB and get them to send out a new guard! With the conversion and credit card charge from my bank it worked out to just over £35 - just grab the number on the EB website under "contact us" and give them a ring! It's how I bought my abalone guard back in December

Thanks for that Bassmonkee, how nice it is to know it's full history. I don't think it's moving from here for a while.
