    Out of the club...

    Well, I am about to be kicked out of the Bongoloid club. My Bongo is being packed up and sent to the land down under and a brand new 4HH Stingray in Black with a Tort Guard and Maple Neck is on its way to my house courtesy of Beaver at basscentral.com.

    if you still manage to score a rosewood necked bongo they are nekkid. Best of both worlds

    MrM
    just put flats on the bongo!!
    just put roundwounds on your fretless!!

    trussrod adjustment:
    Click here for an image!
    less relief / flatter = lower action
    more relief / bow = higher action
    do NOT use cheap tools to adjust with. they might break and scrape up your pressious!
    also, if you are lucky enough to have a 100th namm sr4: the truss works the other way around on that one!

    Mmmmmm.... now only if they had one lying around with a fretless ebony board .... I always ask for too much though don't I.

    That sounds so tasty. But alas, while I don't mind the painted neck, I do enjoy the feel of the Stingray's neck a slight bit more, which actually I didn't at first, but now... me loves it long time.

    Congrats on the new Stingray though!

    StingRay HH is the way to go!


    BTW, I am with MrM and Manfloozy... should have ordered a rosewood Bongo, and I did ask whether they'd come as fretless (expecting an ebony board) but was frowned upon by BP himself...
    Have bass. Will play.

    Thanks Oli... now I'm craving a rosewood neck+maple fretboard instrument...

    And all you that sell Bongos are a strange breed, me thinks
    No offense... Strange is good, just look at the Bongo

    A rosewood necked Bongo would have been perfect for you. But let's face it, a Stingray HH is no slouch either!
