I believe in miracles.

OMG, it's already started.

Get the Musicians Freind Charge Card and get the
extended payment plan, I think it is 6 months
on a purchase that big, sometimes they have a
different program offered on the Web Site, than they do in the Catalog. As long as you have it
payed off by the end of the finance period there
are no other charges. I have done this the last
couple years myself, and it worked out really
good. Also Sam Ash does this as well, if you have
a local Sam Ash store, at different times of the
year they offer 12 month's, sometimes 15 month's
to pay it off.

 

Just apply and see what happens, these companies
are desperate to move merchandise, The worst that
could happen is they decline.

 

True....try it Joe Nerve. I was pretty shocked at the limit they gave me a while back.
-Bazz-

 

Look, there are many honorable ways to do this.

People always need drugs, for instance. And if you have any mechanical skills and blood doesn't bother you, perhaps hired killings would be a quick way to go.

But credit with Musician's Fiend, man, I don't know about that.

Seriously, Mister Nerve, you know I'm pulling for you. We Bongophiles have to stick together.

And geez, it's not like it's a BC Rich.

 

John, they could have called those things "Roger" and I still would have bought one.

Come on, it's not as outrageous (cough, cough) as SOME THINGS I've seen people play.

 

There is a white Bongo attached to a porcelain base in the restroom downstairs...
Oh, wait, the neck and pickup are missing...

 

I think A and G are your most valid reasons. Best of luck on acquiring this bass. I refuse to offer advice on how to get there though, although bovinehost was headed up the right path there for a moment

Ditto

 

OK here is the deal - your warwick is ONLY a bass, your Mother is just a mom - but the BONGO, now that is life itself. Get rid of the Warwick - you can always get another when the finances are better. I would, however, keep your Mom as she might be able to help with the aforementioned fiances (NBM -National Bank of Mom).

I am actually being a bit serious. People were really nasty when I sold my Fodera or traded my WAlter Woods - "how could you sell THAT bass" - well is is after all only a bass/amp. Someday, I might get another, if that is were the spirit moves me. If you really want the Bongo (perhaps the ugliest bass ever made) - then get rid of the Warwick and get it. Don't even think twice. Let's face it, if you had both basses, the Warwick woould sit in the closet anyway. Go for it.

Sheesh, given the tacky excess of many of the basses I've seen TBer's drool over, the Bongo hardly deserves to be singled out for ridicule. Hope ya get it soon, Joe!

 

Hey now- I'm a 19 year old college student, and yet I got a Visa Platinum pretty easy. They will give cards to anyone!

 

+1!

I don't care for the looks either, but to hell with what I think. If not for the fact that you can't afford it, I'd tell you to go buy one immediately, no apology/explanation necessary.

 

LOL!

(It's only funny because it's so undeniably true...)
