MM Bongo 6 string?

[Rakie]

WOW, as a four and 5 string that bass is a visual sin, but it looks REALLY good as a 6.



Im VERY interested in finding out pricing for the bass.

List on a Bongo 6 H is $2400, dual pickup models $2550, which is not much ($100-$200) more than any other EBMM.

Bass Central has three 6HHs on their website. They're gorgeous.

The GAS is intolerable...

I've actually played one at the BassPeople in Sydney and I must say at around AUD$3k, it is one of the better sixers in the market.

Firstly, very light in terms of weight for a sixer, understand it's made of basswood. Similar-ish (though not as heavy) sounding as a stingray, remind me of my Peavey Cirrus 6 in terms of agility and flexibility of tone, but think sweeter.

Considering also that the back of the neck is not natural finish, which is my preference, it feels really good and does not feel like there's a gunk of glue all over. The only thing that bothered me a bit was that the highest frets on the C string are not as accessible as a Peavey Cirrus, may not a big deal to some.

Gotta try it yourself as with anything. Would I buy one, yes. Over the Peavey Cirrus.....probably not.
