    Limited edition Bongos...

    Just wondering if there are any plans to re-make the buttercream Bongos?

    In my opinion, that is the absolute BEST colour for a Bongo. It looks so classy and cool.

    When I get my student loan, the first thing I'm gonna buy is a Bongo!

    I doubt it. How would you like it if you paid the extra cash for an LE and then saw it become a regular option a couple of years later. It would defeat the purpose of it being a "limited edition".

    I bought a Les Paul with one of my student loans. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

    A kinder, gentler collection...

    It could be argued that the Bongo will teach you more than some textbooks.

    Seriously, though....please use your student loan as it's meant to be used. The Bongo will come when it's time. Save up for it and buy it with cash. Ownership will feel so much better that way.

    I'll take you guys advice. Student loans are for beer!

    No, really - I'm not that stupid.

    Are you kidding? The Bongo will DO your homework for you, write your term papers and pass flirty notes to that cute co-ed in your Chemistry lab!

    A guitar player would never consider using a "student loan" to by a guitar!!

    Bass players have such a different standard than us guitar players.
