THE BONGO CLUB (Part 2, 3 and infinity)

[Mrfstop]

Love that bass Dan! But you know that already

Thanks brotha markus!
I had it for all of like 2 months and you were trying to make a play for it...hahaha!!
Nope, sorry charlie, this one is a lifer.

In'trestin'... So it's not just me or mine — the super-reactive neck is a common thing for Bongo. If I used a higher setup, I probably wouldn't notice the "ups and downs' so much, but that's the price to pay for low & fast. And the sheer coolness of the Bongo outweighs the inconvenience of weekly adjustments.

Amen to that! I also use a low set up on my Bongo 6...the adjustments are annoying but when the adjustments are finally done....oh man. So good.

Finished my pedalboard o' doom this week, gave it it's baptismal run this morning at church. Looked so purty, I just had to share.

 

[Néal Zheimer]

Yay! Another naked Bongo (no PG) ! Love'em that way.

No question for me anymore. I'm an HS kinda dude. Feel it adds a whole different dimension for me. I'll use that pickup soloed. Never used the neck H soloed. The single coil sounds a lot more musical to my ears. But my ears ring loudly constantly so take that for whatever it's worth.

I always play my HS with the balance somewhere around the middle. The combinaison between the two pickups sounds so bada$$.

Haven't posted in a while... Just did some research i'm OG Bongo Member #13

Either way I got my Bongo 5 HSP Dargie Delight. I have seen a lot of pics of the Dargies and I haven't seen many they do the original color justice. Best finish I have ever seen and the martini inlays are so classy. This is Art!

EDIT: I have no idea why the pictures are sideways... Mods?

 

[Zoomie]

Hellonwheels, that is killer. I would kill to have a D1 5 HS. Sweet ride, sir !

I agree on the work of art comment.

Had a Bongo a while, never joined.....

Dunno what you'd call the colour??
Dark metallic blue?

 

[HELLonWHEELS]

I also did some digging and found this photo. It almost made it into a calendar like 5 years ago...

For those who don't understand why people think the bongo looks like a toilet, well, this one is for you.

 

[iuserneim]

HAHA
i guess a red tortoise toiletseat would look really good on that toilet

After being Bongo-less for 5 months I'm very pleased to be the new owner of this sweet candy red 4H.

I previously owned a desert gold 5HH, sapphire black 5HHp, and a sterling silver 5HH.

 

[Holdsg]

sweet. I was really tempted to go 4H on my next musicman. lots of love for that modality on the other forum.

 

[Mrfstop]

Nice score man! Congrats!

Congratulations, Ubnomnar! Your are Club member #149. Welcome!

Yep... it starts at the very TOP. I'll be visiting the Bongo single H thread. The 4H gives me the "tone in my head" I couldn't find with the HH. I'm still keeping my eyes peeled for my dream spec Bongo... a 4Hp or 5Hp.

Nice score man! Congrats!

Thanks... I'm really happy with it. It's an excellent complement to my other USA basses.

Congratulations, Ubnomnar! Your are Club member #149. Welcome!

Wow... you work fast. Thanks

Today at the Roanoke Festival in the Park... Shortly before I stepped on my cable and ruined a song. Wireless rules!!!
