Just got my lefty Bongo 5 fretless - you are right Alvaro, the range of tones on this bass is unbelievable! The neck is so comfy; quality is first rate! Still learning controls, must go back to playing.

Just throwing this out there, if anyone has a 6 string fretless HH out there and doesn't want it. GIMME!

We may have to start a lefty Bongo chapter!

Congratulations! I'm glad you like this awesome instrument, man. You are club member #80.

That is a great idea! And that fretless is a gorgeous machine! I have at least another month to wait for my lefty Bongo5 to arrive if not longer but I will be all over this club once she arrives!

Is that Ice Blue? First time I've seen it on a Bongo. Looks yummy. And there won't be many of those around - I think that finish got the axe just recently.
I sent an e-mail to my Better Half with some info and a link to one of the few Bongo 5HH Dargie Delight IIs that are not in possession of a person (she's doing the Internship for her Doctorate at a school 5 hours away, so it's extended-weekend visits every 6 weeks or so for 9 more months :scowl: ) and the suggestion that it be my "Giftmas Present" (we *both* have a thing for "Kameleon"/"flip-flop" finishes) - if somehow she falls, hits her head, and places the order, I'll be more than happy to join you fine folks. 
I've also played around in Photoshop on a Bongo H/S in Candy Red w/ Black Hardware that had me drooling, and can't for the life of me understand how at their pricepoints MM doesn't offer the choice of hardware color, especially when it's made in Black for the Stealths and Gold for the 2008/09 Limited Edition IIRC...
However, to ask on the EB Forum is tantamount to suicide. I've lurked there long enough to realize that!

I thought the window for ordering the Dargie II's was already closed. If it's still open, that would be interesting news to find out.
Unless you're talking about dealer stock somewhere.

Even mentioning it here is a minor form of sacrilege...Say 5 'Hail Bongos, full of tone' for penance.

You are club member #82, Freddels. I really like that combination of black over Lava Pearl.
i just ordered my Bongo 5 hh stealth with ebony fingerboard!!! I will post pics when it comes in!!!! OMG im bouncing in my chair at work like a 2yr old that just ate 2lbs of Jolly Ranchers!!
Yes sir, ice blue. I really didn't know what to expect when I ordered it from Bass Central. It was my second choice color from what they had in stock and I'm glad I got it, I love that color lol

From what I've looked at, I haven't "seen" a stealth with a piezo but the Fretless that I have with a piezo, I ordered special. So maybe they just don't "stock" them but they can be ordered. Easiest way to find out, call Bass Central lol those guys are the best with ernie ball stuff

I've been getting busy with my Bongo 5 HH for over a year now, and it is a bass like no other. They RULE! Just saw this or I would have been here sooner.
Can I get in the Bongo Club?
Sure! Now you are club member #83.
