    NBD! smokie egyptian content (pictures added)

    My Bongo 5 HH arrived today. Bought it from member pearlredburst. As I am at work I just could give it a little dry playing but it looks and feels and resonates veeeery nice.

    Egyptian Smoke just looks awesome, like Ed Friedland said: " Grey, but in a smokie, egyptian way" It will fit very well besides the olive gold Big Al.

    Pictures will follow tonight, together with my first comments an the sound(s).

    I am very happy...

    Ok, here you go:





    Even my wife said it looks stylish.

    I had just a little time to play it amplified because my kids are sleeping but it has great harmonics and is crazy versatile with the blend knob. It does sound different to my SR 5 RW and the Big Al though, so it really is a perfect addition to my little ball family.

    <i will do a real review when I had more time to play it.

    Egyptian Smoke, great finish. Very underrated I think.
