Natural Bongo?

Hey Jack,

how did the mahogany sound compared to the basswood?

I don't know. I played it a little bit one night when Dave was around but didn't feel right playing it when he wasn't. Honestly, I didn't notice much difference at the time.

It was WAY heavier than mine, though.

coming from the not-diggin-the-aesthetic-appeal-of-bongos camp, i gotta say... the cherry on mahogany really makes that design a lot more palatable to some of us who prefer vintage styling. in this color scheme it's not that far a cry from the new lakland decades... which also look great. i've always wondered why EBMM don't try and split their color choices a little more between the weird/bizarre/modern stuff and throw a few bones to those who like old-school colors and/or bursts. i do love my stingray, but i wish it wasn't transparent teal.
