New Bongo bass day

Finally got her in yesterday. The pictures don't do the Tangerine Pearl color justice. Still has the plastic on the pickguard for now too.

awesome

fuzzychaos 02-01-2013 08:16 AM

That is smokin' hot. I miss my Bongo :crying:
I clearly need to rectify that :)

jmclearnon 02-01-2013 08:16 AM

SWEEET! Enjoy dude

WoodyG3 02-01-2013 08:25 AM

Yeah, the tangerine pearl is a very cool color. You've got a winner, there!

maxpayneatlarge 02-01-2013 08:28 AM

Yeah, I tried one in a shop a while back, used, but didn't get it because I was there to buy something else. I loved the feel and sound of it. I finally found one that I loved the color of.

You should definitely rectify that :)

Love Bongos, congrats on the sweet score man!

Bring it outside and take a picture!

maxpayneatlarge 02-01-2013 09:21 AM

Good idea. I'll have to do that later today.

Don't mirror them this time. :D


Sweet looking bass. Nice to see a bongo that isn't black.

maxpayneatlarge 02-01-2013 09:43 AM

Haha, yeah, and because it's 'mirrored' it makes it that much harder to find in colors other than black. Luckily, Music Man can get you a lefty in any color. Wish they had a Candy Grape color too, that would be a pretty in a Bongo.

Nice bass! Bongos are great, I'd love to own one myself.

aasti3000 02-01-2013 09:49 AM

I think one day I'll try one our because I LOVE my MusicMan bass but I want a 6 string. Something about the Bongo's look that turns me off but I gotta get pass that. It's only the look and I need to not let that stop me from testing one. Congrats on the new bongo. Enjoy!

Emibass 02-01-2013 09:58 AM

Man you have to have some guts to play that thing.....

maxpayneatlarge 02-01-2013 10:09 AM

First time I saw them, I didn't care for the looks either. Then over time, and after hearing one and playing one, that outlook changed. Now, I love the funky looks of it.

Fabulous colour - and a lefty as well - congratulations and enjoy.

jim777 02-01-2013 10:56 AM

You forget about the looks once you start playing with that awesome 4 band pre, even if you like the looks. The pre in the Bongo is crazy :)

Crabby 02-01-2013 01:16 PM

There is nothing like "New Bass Day"! Congrats on a top shelf instrument!

Took a couple of pictures outside that shows the color a little better.
