Does anyone know if the Bongo John Myung plays might be made into a production model, maybe a sig bass? It's a Bongo 6 with a Bongo 5 neck. The spacing would be tighter obviously, but that would definitely work for me EBMM can leave the preamp as is, thank you very much!

You don't want the stock Bongo 6?

I had one for a while and it was great, but that fretboard leans toward the wide side.

Grrrrrr. Seeing these makes me wish I could get a Bongo HH model 6 string. Maybe in the future.

Guess since we started a new thread, might as well put up the one Bongo I have left in the collection.
Although, I am working on securing a deal on another one.
Working on nabbing a Bongo lined fretless HS4. Fingers and eyeballs crossed it works out.
But for now, here is my 2004 Lava Pearl HH4.

I love the Bongo but this one in particular is not my cup of tea. It took out the essence of the Bongo IMHO.

Sooo you came into a thread dedicated to a bass, to throw out an age-old, well worn out bash against it? Nothing better to do tonight eh?
