    Bought a Bongo Today

    I can't believe I just bought a Bongo on the bay. Those ugly toilet seats I tried at GC on presidents day, those weird things with strings, I would never buy one of those. I must be out of my mind...with enthusiasm, of course.

    Bought Eggman's SR5 a few weeks ago (my first EBMM) and now a Bongo. Whew, I think I'd better start selling a few of my other basses as I don't think they'll be getting much playing time.

    I am very close to pulling the trigger on a similiar Bongo 5er. My wife thinks I'm nuts! Maybe she's right?

    Umm, we take offense at calling the Bongo an "ugly toilet seat." It's a pretty classy looking toilet seat.

    I've had my Bongo for a couple of weeks. I haven't touched my other basses, even though they are MM's. I know I will, but for now the Stealth and I are getting to know one another.

    You will love your new bass. Now you have been- BONGOED!
    Thanks, Vic

    the Bongo, a toilet seat???

    ..Well, I guess that's why other bass players, on hearing us, say " Ooooh SH..."

    Naw. I've already got three 5's. And I don't know what the heck I'd do with 6 strings. I had played one of these at GC when I was looking for an SR5. Thought the sound was fantastic and was going to buy then but the guy in front of me bought it. Not quite sure though why the Bongo is so inexpensive used but I do love a bargain.
