Here is rendering showing the silhouette of the the 3% wider body. The original profile is shown as a blue outline. Once I re-model the rest of the body I will post another shot.

Man, I take a long weekend away from work & the forums and this is what I miss?


Maybe I should take long weekends more often

Like maybe a year.

Maybe more.

But what do I know?

Bupkis, that's what.

Oh I realize that. I still have my SR5 until its ready

Hey... Me too! But not because of this Bongo incarnate.


Seriously, though - it is great to see this stuff iin the process of development. Nice going BP & Team. When we see it hanging in Guitar Center we'll be able to say "I remember when..." and that's just plain cool!

Here's a shot of the fully rendered Bongo 6 with a 3% wider body.

all the more Bongo to love....

more junk in the trunk

[Biker4Him]

Wow!!!!

Hey Jon thanks for the render. Are you going to base the 6er neck off of the excellent SR5 neck? Also are you going with the same spacing as the 5s?

Now that's a whole lotta bass. I like the bigger body -- it looks more proportional. Very pleasing to the eye. This is going to be an incredible instrument.

Speaking of which, at band practice last night I was playing the Stealth Bongo 4 HS. Our sit-in drummer said, "Is that the one designed by BMW? It's really cool." The keyboard player calls it "The Batman Bass." I'm glad no one thinks it's ugly or anything because I'd have to kick their a**. That's not such a good thing to do to one of your bandmates. But if push came to shove I would have to defend its honor.

We really cant answer many questions and please let us just show you this. it is important at this point that we dont color the creative process.

[syciprider]

Okay, then just answer a few.

[Psychicpet]

BP, I would like to apologize on behalf of my Forum Brother's smart ass "just a few" comment, we like, please show more, we shut up

[sloshep]

I think it is very very cool that you will share this us. Keep them coming BP. I love to see the design process in action.
