Eat right handed except spoon, use scissors right handed, play bass right handed, golf right handed, all else left handed.

Eat, write, and brush my teeth left-handed...everything else right.

This is the strangest list-oriented hijack I've seen.

Weirdos.

I'm no weirdo.

I'm a deviant.

Deviant weirdo, maybe.

I'm not scared of no lefty. I'll just give you a pair of right handed scissors and watch you struggle.

(BP checks production schedule....)

Hmm... let's see... How 'bout... "Never."

Does "Never" work for you?



Dargie Green has come and gone....

I can't wait to find out what the 2008 ltd ed is going to be. If it speaks to me, I'll have to pick up a Bongo 6 SC/H.

It's too bad (for me) that the Autumn Burst is no longer available. I think that'd be a pretty striking look for a Bongo 6.

I hope a six string set of Ernie Ball flatwound bass strings is added to the product line, too. I'd hate to have to use Acme strings to get my flat fix on the Bongo 6.

You go 10 days on holiday...and when you come back, you just discover EB is making that Bongo 6 fantasy a reality ! Makes me wonder if those holidays didn't last longer as I can remember...

Anyway, that proto looks great (as other people here, I really love the 4 + 2 headstock), and it makes me want to see one in real...(maybe not to carry it, but that's another point...)

I do everything right handed, although I've been told that I peel crawfish left handed.

I want a Bongo 6!

As another partial hijack

How do they pick Limited Edition colours? I heard that the Dargie was because of the us forum people. I know BP has the last word, but do we have a say?

I haven't seen any yellow EBMM's

You're welcome to say whatever you want. But, don't expect it to have any bearing on what actually happens. They certainly don't ask for suggestions, and they certainly don't run ideas past us for input.

I try and think of it like a nursery in a hospital. Sure, I can look at the children, but I don't expect the nurses, or parents, to ask for my input. Some might even say it'd be rude of me to offer it unsolicited.

Wow, if there's anything I've learned about BP, it's that only BP speaks for BP and that "never" is seldom the right word to use about EBMM. Seems anything can happen there if the stars align correctly.

Long before the Dargie Delights I was told there would never be basses made in that color. I'll Jack explain how well that worked for me.

I was just kidding... it's an old and tired workplace joke.
