    Ok... one more guys

    I'm going to have to start paying for college in the fall of 2008 and to be able to save up for the school... i'll only have the funds to purchase one more bass. Here's the thing. By the end of the month, i'll have 4 SR5s. Now I do know of a NOS envy green SR5 that i'd love. Although something is drawing me towards a Sterling or a Bongo. Help me with my dilema. You guys know what I like.

    Get a Bongo, or a Sterling, or a SR5, yeah, go one of these! See that narrows it down quite a bit!

    I'd say you need a 4 string in your arsenal Stanky . The SR4HH is really really good and I think you need one.

    The smart answer: Buy nothing, start saving for college now.

    The knucklehead answer: Save your money for a 20th SR5

    variety is the spice of life and youre a 5 string player so I say Bongo 5HS or HH.(unless you wait for news on the sterling 5)
    the envy green will be awesome but its just another finish.the Bongo will give you something you dont have with the 4 band EQ,the pan control and the extra 9v.
    BONGO for sure

    I voted Bongo - in the absence of an option for the 20th SR5. I would advise you to go for the 20th, otherwise get a Bongo - choice of 4 or 5 I leave up to you

    Stanky, hardly surprisingly i voted Bongo But here's the spin: you get the envy green SR5, then trade me that for my DG Bongo and some funds...
    I only want green basses, 'cause they're impossible to sell
    bovinehost: Yes, I do agree with that, but if there's nothing wrong then there's nothing wrong.
    Beth: I would compare Bongo to Tommy Lee Jones. Bad a$$ and just hot in a weird way...
    cheezewiz: They should take their lace thongs off and play bass.


    Stingray 5 Classic, coral red
    Bongo 5 H, Dargie Delight, in some cave somewhere...
    Bongo 5 HH, Black w/ rosewood neck
