I think the bongo with a single coil in the bridge position followed by an H would be kinda nice. Not trying to disrespect the designers here. Just a thought.

I avoided this thread for ages, but finally had to peek.

Damn, after finally re-acquiring an excellent array of guitars (EBMM takeover), it looked like I would be tempted to foray into the bass world yet again - back to the "bottom end". Whew, am I ever glad that there are no maple fingerboards, or I would be seriously tempted.

"Check back again in a month" I tell myself, "I may just have changed my mind about that rosewood....after all, I do own a Dargie AL....."

LOL it won't be because it will be the best 6 string ever brought to market.

BP does say real men play 4 strings though.




I want one in the worst way.
