I know what you mean!

I'm in negotiations to buy a 5er as we speak!

My wife says, "You won't be satisfied until you have one of each..."

Well, my new Lava pearl Bongo 4 arrived today. All I can say is F**k this thing rocks. I played it through a Genz Benz Neo-Pak and my new Dr. Bass 2460D which arrived yesterday. I knew the Bongo sounded good when I tried it at GC through a Markbass combo, but until I tried it at home...crap, I can't get over how good this sounds. Deep lows but stunning mids and crystal clear highs. The sound sparkles set flat. Raise the bass and watch out, thought my windows were going to shatter. When BP says Bongo's rule, he's not kidding. I know this is debatable, but this is the best sounding bass I've had in years, and that includes Dingwals, Laklands, and Fenders. Loved all of those but I don't think they compare. Damn....I'm in love. Pics of the rig tommorrow.

I'm way down the totem pole, but I say that, too. And I'm not kidding, either!

If anyone wants to debate that, I'll be on your team.

Those are all real fine basses but I just think that the tonal possibilities and the punch is hard to beat. It takes a secure player to dive in.

All the player needs to do is try one. I even like the looks, god help me.

Yeah the looks.......The supposed open minded musician threw stones and made fum of it because it was different.

We won about three international design awards and General Motors used it to help introduce a new car.

I hate to break the news to you but the most narrow minded people on the earth and iloled with sheer terror at something different is guitar players followed by bass players....they have been programmed to play one or two diferent instrument shapes and it kills them to think that they could play something different...think of it like food...If you grew up only eating variations of potato and someone slipped an apple in you would gag....

I love your passion. Don't ever sell out, please. I don't think I could handle a "made in China" bongo. Probably not a coincidence that my favorite car is the BMW.
