I'm talking with Jimmy from the perfect bass about snagging a Bongo HH from the premier dealer network series (Hog body, roasted neck, etc.). I remember loving playing every Bongo I've ever tried and the basses speaking voice is thunderous. I'm waffling on whether I want a 4 or a 5 string and I'd really like to play one again before laying down that kind of cash. Unfortunately there aren't any around me that I can find
What a pickle!

Just finally put an order in (UK) for a fresh Tang Pearl 5 HH / Black Plate Bongo 
After the new tuners starting being part of latest builds, I knew the time was right.
Mind you its taken me 2 or more years to properly take the plunge.
Now I also want a 4 HS or 4 Hp.

Go with the 4 Hp. I seriously can't put my down since I got it.
What better way to celebrate one's birthday, than by getting a bongo club number. Here is my beauty, and I love her dearly! I'm so glad I purchased one, I couldn't be happier!
I've changed the pickguard to a black ice one, and it already looks even better. I'll upload more pictures when I can.

Has anyone ever seen an unlined fretless Bongo 6? I've seen 4's and 5's, as well as a lined fretless 6... But I'm chasing the white whalethe unlined 6. Does it exist?
NevermindI found it. Ooohh, she lives... And I must have her...

You mean like this one?
Yeah... THAT one... You don't really wanna keep that thing, do ya? You must be tired of it by now...
Well, while I have three Bongos, that is not one of them.
I'm waiting to buy a 6 string next year for my 40th birthday.

Just put my deposit down on one of the premier dealer network Mahogany Bongo 5'ers. I'm more excited for this bass than I have been for a bass in a long time!
