I went to my local GC yesterday to exchange a dead Monster cable. I checked out the bass room just to see what they had. A salesman came in and we got to talking. He asked if I had ever tried a Bongo. I told him that I hadn't and that I haven't quite warmed up to the look of the thing. I will be the first to admit that they do have killer tone for days (I've seen/heard a few on television. I especially liked Gail Ann Dorsey's tone when I saw her with Bowie on Leno a few months ago.). Anyway, the salesman insisted that I try one. He handed me a fiver with dual MMs. I must admit that I was blown away! I play four strings exclusively. I'm planning to get a fiver some day. I haven't felt comfortable on most of the ones I've tried. This bass felt like I had owned it for years! I am impressed. The Bongo is a thing of beauty! I want one!
