THE BONGO CLUB (Part 2, 3 and infinity)

I'm about to ditch my Bongo for a Spector D: still deciding.

 

[Ebelow]

Here is my Bongo

Don't do it!

KEEP THE BONGO!!


Oh and nice Bongo Mr. Ebelow!! Nice avatar too!

 

[Mrfstop]

I hear THAT!
I actually had a brief brain fart moment the other day.
I was thinking which of my basses I could let go of to obtain some funds to buy some new Mesa PH cabs.
I thought and thought.
My 2004 Bongo HH in Lava Pearl with White Ice pg came to mind for a moment.
I then got her out of her case , plugged her into the amp.
And played for about 30 mins.
It just is too BAAAAAAAD!!!
Bongos are the needle in the haystack!
Just nothing else like them out there.
EBMM and BMW really came up with a one in a million bass!

Long story long?
I sold off my last Warwick instead and kept my Bongo

 

[Disco Batman]

I'm certainly biased since the Bongo is my favorite bass. But I don't think I've seen anyone sell a Bongo and not regret it.

Thanks!

Nice 6HS!

Thanks! I had a show two weeks ago and I used my Bongo 6. After the show two ladies came to me from the audience and told me how sexy is my bass. never happened this when i used my other bass.

 

[Néal Zheimer]

Them ladies sure have good taste !

Last comment from my guitarist: "le son de cette basse est démoniaque !" (this bass sounds evil crazy). I was playing a Reggae riff on the B string. So massive!

This is from another thread I started...but pertains to me ordering a clear pickguard for my HS.

With my Bongo being silver...and it already having a unique appearance, I came up with a "space theme."
My wife was nice enough to draw it up, and started coloring it in...until she caught the flu...or it caught her. No rush though...the pickguard just shipped out a couple of days ago.

The Russian nesting dolls idea came to me because when I was younger I always played with the ones that my godmother had. I happened to mention this in conversation with my mother-in-law, who surprisingly bought me a very nice one that she ordered & purchased from a Russian community in the UK.

....and no...I don't have a lick of Russian in me.

You have a very talented wife, she could sell her pickguard designs, I would buy one for sure!

Well Im thinking of getting a new neck from EBMM for my Bongo 6...the darn thing is constantly shifting so I have to keep adjusting the truss rod. Has anybody ever done this?

 

[Bassist Jay]

Talk to CS. I'm sure they will take care of you.

I have my first Bongo(first EBMM bass for that matter) enroute via UPS right now. It is a gold 5 string HH model. No matter how many times I click refresh on the tracking website, it still says delivery will be Tuesday. While it has the extra low string over my beloved Warwick Corvette $$ 4, I will be curious to see how it compares on songs that do not require the low B.

I needed a new desktop bmp for my office PC

Hey guys just wondering what pickguard would look best on a sterling silver bongo?
