[Sambuca]

Hi,

Any suggestions on where to find a 4 string double humbucker bongo bass?

The Perfect Bass.

Bass Central.

Guitar Centre.

eBay.

Here.

The MusicMan factory.

These should work

Guitar Centre.

guitar center don't do the bongo anymore, only ones they will have are old stock. Not sure if you could order one in? more than likely.

Of course, this is assuming you live in the USA - being in the UK I would contact these places to no avail.

aye, if you're uk based and want a customer order, the place to go is strings 'n' things, they're the UK dealer. Blindlemon on here works there (dunno if he owns it or what?)

First and most important question: where are you?

I am in Pennsylvania. My boyfriend plays a musicman now and is interested in a bongo bass. I bought him a Ric bass about 2 years ago and it was crazy trying to find one. So I thought I would get a head start on looking for a bongo bass just in case I run into the same problem.

Thanks.

try ebay, craigslist, talkbass and here if you want used. theperfectbass.com is good if you want to buy new

Depending on where in PA you are, a road trip up to central Connecticut might be in order. Pete DuBaldo has one in stock.

Welcome to DuBaldo Music Center!

From eastern PA it's doable as a day trip.

Or, if all you need is to see/hear one in person, I suppose you could come to one of my band's practices. We practice in western CT (Ridgefield), which is closer to PA than Pete's. Or you could come to a gig, but we don't have a public one until mid-January... it's closer still, in Croton-on-Hudson, NY.

There's another Bongoloid in northern NJ (AnthonyD) who gigs pretty regularly... his gigs would be closer to you.

Wow, why can't I ever get a girlfriend like this?

Sambuca, happy hunting, these basses are really worth it.


p.s. i always like it when everybody assumes a person's gender.

Might still not be a female. All Sambuca mentioned was a boyfriend.

Anyway, yes, check out Pete DuBaldo at Dubaldo Music. He's going to have a Bongo, for sure. If we can answer any questions, let us know!

Try a wife instead. My wife bought me my Bongo 5 HH as a second anniversary present. She also had bought me a bass as a first anniversary present which I sold along with another bass to get my new Bongo 5 single H. She also bought me a bass as a wedding present, too.
SHE'S A KEEPER AND SO ARE THESE BASSES!
