New Rondo Models just announced

The new stuff at Rondo has been on their web page for about 2 weeks. I was excited when I got the email because I thought there were new, new items. But it's the same stuff that's been up on the web for a while. It just takes them a while to get the emails out.
 
That New Items link is the entire contents of the e-mail I received. So, everyone can see the stuff.

Whenever I look at their stuff, I always wonder why they don't make a Douglas natural in a 4 string. It's always a 5 or a 6.

A Douglas natural 4 string, under 200 bucks, would be a good deal.

Whoa!
 
theyre also gonna a have pirate SG, LP, and HSS Strat. I emailed Rondo to see when all the pirate stuff would hit the shelves, and he siad that the bass only came out sooner due to the demand. Id be interested in the pirate guitars though. I found out about the stuff from this site:

Recently, I found out that Team International Music is SX's parent company. I only wish that Rondo had all the basses that are on this website. Compared to here theyre selection isnt that good. The SPB62 QMD also looks great.
 
I dug the p90's too--- I betcha there are a lot of bass players who prefer them if playing elec. g****r.

O'Doul's comes to mind...

"It's what bass players play when they're not playing bass."

I'm thinking there's a theory coming together here. Do bass players like p-90s in their guitars? Hmm. I do I've built a strat and have a HH ibanez and I always come back to my p-90 LP. They are clean enough to really dig through but crunchy enough to mean business. the perfect bass player's pickup!

I've got a set in my Reverend slingshot and dig the heck out of them, although I'm a sucker for Strat pickups too. Not so keen on buckers, but that may have something to do with me blowing out some hearing standing in front of a bass amp.

There is some great looking stuff there, but I have to say, the ash p90 strat sets a new standard for mismatching wood.
