    Bongo in the snow!! (Hell freezes over! Hell = South Louisiana)

    …South Louisiana is not really that bad … where else can you have a hurricane/ tropical storm and a snow storm 4 months apart????

    Snow doesn’t happen often here so I had to take the opportunity to get out and take pictures with my bongo in the snow. I know I keep showing this thing off and I’m sorry is it looks like I’m rubbing it in… the truth is that I am really honored to own this bass and I feel the need to express it all the time! Thanks again BP and crew! You have made this Cajun a happy bass player!!

    Thanks guys! I am really enjoying it! I just played two nights on Bourbon St. and didn’t have the heart to bring him out so my ’02 SR5 got the call and shook the house!!!

    I can tell that you all are Music Man nuts because no one has made a single comment about the SNOW IN LOUISIANA!!!!

    While I am not so fortunate to have a nice white Bongo, we did receive 10-15 cms of snow followed by freezing rain followed by rain and back to snow within the last 36 hours. It took me about 45 minutes to chisel off the 1/2" of ice covering off of my car yesterday. Gotta love mother nature!

    Did you just void your warranty by bringing your bass out in such adverse conditions?

    I am warming to the Bongo at a great rate of knots. Pics like these make me want one more. Very nice.
