    Now with 100% less Bongo

    Well, I know the last time i posted i was trying to work out a trade for a white bongo 4, in exchange for my bongo 5, Well that fell through, but i did fall in love with Duarte's red rise maple ray. I just mailed my bongo to Duarte in the UK, and am expecting confirmation he has mailed me my new (used) red rise ray. I loved my bongo, but ill get another one one day, i didn't think i would ever find another red rise ray. Anyone know how long transit from the United Kingdom to eastern US is?

    Depends what method of shipping it has been used, if you guys used couriers such as UPS or DHL we are talking 4 to 5 working days, if you have used normal post such as Royal Mail Parcel Force here in UK it can take up to 14 working days.

    Congrats to you both


    p.s.: Zak, you lucky sonofabrit!

    Whew.

    From the thread title I was worried you'd gone completely off the deep and and that an intervention would be called for.

    Ahhhh I am looking forward to this. Erin my (your) bass will be out tomorrow (wednesday) morning, first thing - which I know is a bit later than I said - sorry 'bout that.

    I hope you love him as much as I did.

    Sort of lucky - I mean that finish is insane, I can't get enough of it. I'll be sorry to see it go, but that Bongo thing is something else altogether. And I'm excited aobut finding out what the piezo can do. I mean, many people here describe it, and there's videos on youtube, but I want to discover it for myself.
