I own a Spector Euro 5LX and truly love that bass. I was thinking about buying another one but am seriously looking into some Bongo H5's. Both are great basses that will have their uses for me
With my sweet new baby on the way to me (Please, Mr. Postman...), I formally submit my application to this esteemed and distinguished brotherhood...

Well the deal is now completed, with Tim as the new owner. Thanks
Congrats, Tim! You are Club member #146.
Welcome! You are Club member #147.
I have been thinking about moving my desert gold 5HH as I am not playing it enough lately. Been playing my '78 Stingray, Fenders and Les Paul basses as of late.
Fortunately (unfortunately at the time) I went through this 3 years ago with my Egyptian smoke 5HH and sold it. After a few months I was really mad I sold it and after a year or 2 of Sadowskys, Roscoes and dozens of other basses, had to get another Bongo.
My point? I may get bored and try many other basses, but once you own a Bongo, it is tough to be without one long term IME!
Decided to keep the Bongo...

Thanks for the club card. #146, reporting for booty.
I have a question about the Bongo: Is the body exactly the same for the four-, five-, and six-string models, or does each body get just a tad wider? Based on the photos I've seen, it SEEMS to me that the bodies get proportionally wider with each added string, but that doesn't sound likely, since bass cases are pretty uniform, and the Bongo four fills a case as well as a six.
Anyway, just daydreamin' about it 'til it gets here...

The 4 and 5 are the same I believe. The six is larger though. But I'd have to look at the dimensions on the MM site to be sure.
The site? You mean there's a SENSIBLE, non-lazy way to ask this question?
Thanks for the tip. The site indicates that the four- and five-strings are 12.5" wide and the six string is 13.5"
Thanks again!
thanks my friend!
Noooo ( But it would be big pimpin )
It is some blanket type thing or throw or whatever it is called?
It is something the Mrs picked up.
Looked like a fine background for the Sequoia Gold snap shot by the window.
Does anybody happen to know what color this pickguard is? I'm getting my first Bongo, finally, this next week and I am dying for this guard.
Mine . . .
