I wonder if we'll ever get paid for "Jerry Nigham's" Dargie Delight. Sure would like to get the last one off my desk since it's been sitting since April 26th.

Hmmmm....
"All your 6 String Bongo bass are belong to us"

Little game humor.
I am glad I made the switch. who would of thought a simple color of bass that I saw on the internet would make me change my ways.
I am a MusicMan Man..Man..Uh...You know what I meant.

I know what you mean. The 30th is the only 4-stringer I own and I'm just getting used to not having that B-string there (my thumb doesn't know what to do when I'm on the E-string!). A Bongo6 sounds like something straight out of a dream though.

It looks so purty like that - basswood does have some nice grain sometimes! I can imagine how stunning the mahogany Bongo looks if the basswood looks that fabulous! I'd take one varnished just like that!

Summer NAMM, eh? Good deal. I just ordered my pass... Yippeee.

E-E sounds interesting. I've been thinking of going the opposite direction and tuning my Silo B-C, an octave up from my 6 string bass.

**strummer** · 05-09-2007, 02:13 PM

Erm
About this tuning, BP...

Why tune E-E instead of E-F? I know that guitar-like tuning would mess me up bad

ha,ha,ha....I love it!!!!

Circa 1978:
"Hey George....that scrolling credits thing your thinking about doing in the opening scene of that new Star Fighter movie your working on. Yeah..It will never work.....and i know that "I'd" be more inclined to see the movie if you added some more honey-bun hair dues....just sayin'"

I've also got a Silhouette Bass Guitar that I tune E to E & have to admit that I've thought that a full scale six string bass tuned E to E or E to F would be a cool idea & would be a different beast sonically than a 6 string bass guitar, just like a 4 string piccolo bass tuned E to G sounds different than the low 4 strings on a guitar. Some of you older guys like me remember when 5 string basses started hitting the market in the early 80s that there were a number of 5 strings that came out of the various factories set up for an E to C tuning (which is also the tuning of the Fender V in the 60s). I've got an 1946 Kay M-5 upright that I have set up as E to C.

Anyway, I think if the Bongo 6 is available from the factory as either a B to C or an E to E, & if packaged E to E strings were also available (like from one of my favorite string companies--Ernie Ball--hint, hint)---I would be on a Bongo 6 even quicker than I would otherwise. Very cool, folks.
