    My Bongo =)

    Just got my new-to-me Bongo last night...bought her from a TBer who took great care of her. It plays like a dream...just fantastic. Everything about it is amazing! The neck, action, feel. And oh man all the tones that emanate from this thing...I just can't stop playing with the controls and finding new ones. Anyway enough jibber jabber...here she is .

    Full body



    Head shot



    From behind



    With her cousin



    So what's next? An SR5 single H. Just waiting for the right one to make itself available. In the meantime, here's my stingray



    Cheers .

    Congratulations on your purchase.

    Hopefully, your SR5 doesn't sound so "flat."

    No, I think that copperhead one would do better grilled, with some olive oil and lemon juice. Maybe a bit of dill.

    It can get that unique slap-with-a-wet-fish tone better than any bass on the planet. Except perhaps this one:
