Well how about a BONGO CLUB? (Pics inside)

[Alvaro Martín Gómez A.]

Just got this a few days ago. Cabernet Pearl 5 HH/p in new condition. This is my 3rd time with the Bongo and I think I found a keeper.

So now you are member #126.

You don't have a number. Are you "Bongoless" now?

Not yet. Tomorrow will be my last day with the bass and then she's heading to San Diego. I'll definitely miss her, but I'm wanting to make a transition into passive basses.

Here's my brand new bongo!
Picked her up on Wednesday

There aren't words to describe how I feel about this thing!
It is truly amazing!

This bass is on my GAS list.
Please put a set of DR black beauties on this.

It's definitely my main bass now!
And I would but where I live in Aus there are very few bass players, let alone those of us who play a six stringer!
My options are limited, so I just buy .32-.130 D'addarios from the US. Costs me half the price it would to buy them here! haha

We'll, as soon as I drive up to Tustin, I'm in the club with this:

Music Man Bongo 5 SH, 9 out of 10, jazz bass, must see! | eBay

pretty much the exact Bongo I figured I'd want (Blue/HS)...

Hope I dig it for slapping...!

Sounds awesome when slapping.

Congrats Harry and welcome! I know you've labored over it for a while now. I think once you get used to it you'll over it for slapping. The tone makes up for the precision involved IMO.

Congratulations! Don't forget to post an "it's mine now" picture.

Really loving my Bongo. I have a couple of Tobias basses that are sweet, but the Bongo seems to have a nicer "growl" to it.

I am holding off on pics until I get my new pickguard, though.

I have a question for anyone here who loves both StingRays and Bongos: I'm a lifelong StingRay player, and I'll never quit. The StingRay sound is my sound.

But I LOVE the look of the Bongo, AND I'd love to play a 6. My question is: Does the Bongo REALLY copt StingRay sound? I DON'T mean "Does it do a passable imitation?", I mean does it nail it so well that I couldn't tell the difference in a blind test?

Before I bid on one sight-unseen (there are no dealers here in the remote WV mountains), I'd like to be a little more sure of what I'm in for.

Thanks!

No.

I have both and I would say the Bongo 6 HS does not sound as the Stingray5, a bit different, but that musicman character is there for sure! And while I found my tone in the Stingray as you, I love both!

 

[Mrfstop]

I have 3 stingrays and 2 bongos...all 4 strings....
The Bongo is a beast all by itself...
There is really nothing out there like it. IMO.
The 4 band Eq and 18V electronics are amazing.
I do prefer my HH over the single H.
I would really like to get an HS bongo at some point.

Picked up this one off the EB forum. Added the moonstone PG, not sure I'm keepin it yet, the stock PG was b/w/b.

May I have a number please?

I've owned both -they definitely had different sounds in my opinion. Have to say I like the Bongo sound better.

Awesome sound, horrible feel

Thanks, brothas. That's what I needed to know. GAS: cured.
