Fantastic basses! I really adore mine and after a few months I am so very happy I made the move to 6. Each day it feels more natural and going back to 4 (also a BONGO) is not strange like 4 to 5 was. I hope you relish as much as I~

Hollywood, 1983 w/ my beloved L2/5

REAL tempting, that one~

#? let go and allow your ears and hands to PLAY~

Bongos are great in ANY finish. I went w/ the Stealth Black only because I like to wear WILD clothes...but I will say, looking at Bongos is vastly different from PLAYING them. Play one and find out~

Any time I think I should give it up, I'll hear a great fretless tune/player and it all comes rushing back. It's in ME. I did stop wasting money on any big purchases, though....I have a really decent parts fretless Jazz bass that is really great...it's the oldest bass I own. Everyone loves it...

I would like to think I'm still tough enough~

I sold most every bass I owned of any value to purchase my Bongo 6. First I bought a SBMM Bongo 4 because I was SO intrigued by them and it left me w/ no options...I HAD to have an EBMM Bongo. So, instead of a bunch of basses I spent my days "maintenance" playing, I have two Bongos and I play...

Who knows what they have up their collective sleeves for the 25th Anniversay (2028) of the mighty BONGO??

I saw'r a Goldbar 5 on social medias thar someone had just picked up...really sharp! I have a feeling, like most BONGOs...it looks even better in person!

Truthfully, the 6 string is pretty daunting. BUT! I played 5 for years, 4 string is lovely and 6 terrifies me enough to really put in the time. I'll let ya know in a year if it still scares me! Whatever the result...I'm playing a BONGO!!!

Guess I'll need to get some supplementary income flow for one of these BONGO JM 4's!!!

NO.

Played fretless in the '70's...no one ever even noticed until you told them!

the STRANGLERS...STILL touring~
