Thought I would share my latest addition:

Bongo 4HH - BFR (Ball Family Reserve) - with solid rosewood neck. True Gold finish with tort guard. The rosewood neck feels awesome.

Thanks to Brandt and TPB - great photos. BTW - these photos do not have the TPB logo in them but my guess is that they are copyrighted by TPB. Just thought I would give credit where due.

This bass is killer!!! Enjoy the pics.

Thanks for all the nice comments. It is absolutlely stunning in person.

Yes it has been out of the case. The neck is silky smooth - fret work is perfect (even if they are straight/parallel - (Dingwall reference)).

Tone wise it is a monster - all the usual great Bongo tones and flexibility - to my ears there appears to be more clarity above the 12th fret (than my other Bongos) and the low end has a unique presence and growl.

Great weight and balance.

Are your other Bongo's 4 HH's? I'm asking because a Bongo is next on my list, but no one stocks them up here:rollno:, so I think I have to order one (never even held one yet). I'm not sure what pup configuation to get. I might have to travel state side to play one first.
