You don't have a club number yet, right? (I'm asking because you may have changed your user name, as it was the case once)
hey guys, just wanted to say that the more I use my bongo on gigs the more I like it. when I bought it I was between bands, and playing it by itself I wasn't always sure that it was going to work out. now that I'm gigging again I'm seeing it's strengths. to me it's one of those basses that doesn't have prettiest tone on its own, but in a mix it sounds so good. and I guess that's really all that matters!
My Ex!!
Take good care of her my friend.
She is a beauty!
I've been playing since I was about 6 years old and am almost 52 now. Fingers never get tender or sore and blisters are just out of the question, but my fingers are actually a little sore from playing this bass almost non-stop!
The amount of sounds you can coax from this bass is incredible! I'll be glad when the novelty wears off because at this rate I may actually get a blister, lol!
watch out ya do not wear the finish off the back of the neck...hahaha!!
It really is a great bass.
I am glad you ended up with it.
Enjoy!! know ya will!

Like a fool, I sold my bongo 6 and now I want,no NEED another.... anyone looking to part ways with theirs?
Similar for me but I picked up the 5HS honey roasted pdn one cause the 6 string neck just doesn't fly for me.
I only played stingrays the last years -until I saw the PDN 2012 Bongos...now I play Stingray and Bongo
, great bass , very light weight and versatile.

So do you want a membership number? (Since there was a case of a club member's user name change once, I appreciate all new members to make the express number request)

Any of you Bongo-loids going to put in for those green-sparkle PDNs? I'm seriously considering it, have until end of May then window slams shut.
And its also got me thinking that I may just want to avoid the depreciation and buy a used Bongo. Anyone that might be interested in selling a 4H (not interested in 4HH or 4HS) please PM me on here.

You can order a fretless PDN in any model that offers a fretless option. the PDN is just the limited edition finish.
ive got my first musicman bass coming my way next week. a bongo 4h. black with black pickguard and black hardware. im counting down the days!
Well I've already got a black fretless 5 HS Bongo en route. Plan on getting the fingerboard epoxied as well.
