I wouldn't hold your breath for them to be released without pickguards. I've been wrong before, but I would be very surprised.
I'm just saying they look great without a pickguard. Hell they look great without paint too!

Oh yeah, because Big Poppa's blood would increase the value

Sorry Poppa, I'm just kidding of course... but I don't think any swirl finished would work on the Bongo. It's got enough curves as it is. Swirl is overkill.

Guess I'll hold my tongue about wanting a fretless Bongo6 Hp with no pickguard and an ebony fretboard then ........ oops, too late!

As I'm relatively new to the bass world, has EBMM ever tried ebony fretboards?

That is truly the Magical Mystery Tour of guitar finishes. I feel like I just returned from outer space after looking at it!

that freshly fabricated bridge looks so hardcore!
and for all you people who think you can "barely play a 5 string", it's not like you absolutely have to play the B string all the time.
Just cause it feels a little strange at first doesn't mean it's wrong.

'insert dirty analogy here"
