you do realise that the bongo 6 is gonna be $2000+ like all EBMM basses but I guess that hasn't stopped anyone here.Hopefully Fender's introduction of a double octave P-Bass will put some people on their toes....

? Over here in the US, the Stingray/Sterling is ~$1200; and I think the bongo 4 and 5 is ~$1300-1400.
Maybe in Ireland they're $2000? Is that in USD or Irelands currency?

Bongo 5s are under $1200 new, and most have been around long enough that their price is about $1000 or less new.
At the local GC they have had the exact same MM basses since Namm last year. If you're looking for a Bongo 4 for cheap let me know.
You know, actually, I'll be having a both this year at Namm. Mikebass is going to be one of my celeb personalities...
That is, if we can somehow get that tether off.

I've been dying to see a Sterling 5 for the longest time. A Z6 sounds amazing and very tempting.

A shiny new Nordy? Do tell.
Adrian, we're all glad that you have been blessed with good spirits and humor.
Although, you do like your bass loaded to the gills...

well, the Nordy may be passive.. not decided yet, but i do have a newfound affinity for passive basses. Got a hold of a white Lakland DJ5 that sounds great passive and will now go to my bass playing fiancee. The Nordy was going to be trans white, but ... two white basses in one house? So I am trying to decise what color. Of course, Ash and Maple board.. pearloid blocks, binding, Fat Stacks.. etc..G said:A shiny new Nordy? Do tell.

Hey , man, if i don't laugh, I cry... so..
Adrian, maple board + pearl binding begs for a white bass.
Go for it!
I'd really like to go to a NAMM one day. This year it starts on my 17th birthday.

i hear ya! i have until monday to decide.. i guess there is no law against two white basses in one household. I was thinking also: natural, trans black ( which can look crappy on ash ) and a classic burst.. or something really , really crazy.. i don't know what.

Dude if fender releases a 24 fret p bass ill buy you one if you promise not to ever mention anything about it again in TB, you r certainly annoying.
And yes Europe is s*** you cant buy anything cos everything is overpriced 2x times its original price and ppl earn like 0.75x in comparison with americans... capitalist bastards, taxes were meant to protect your countrys national production/market, if theres no national production of a bass that offers the same as a bongo (in example) or any bass besides custom shops why do we musicians have to pay and extra charge like if we were able to get the same product from here...

Adrian, I love your positive outlook towards this situation! Through attitude and prayer, I am confident that you have this thing licked!
Man, it would be a blast to hook up with you an NAMM some year!
Take care, Tom.

If I have some of my stock basses completed in time, I am going to send them to Carey and he's going to display them in the Nordstrand Pickups booth.todd 4ta said:
