    That's nice even though it's missing a string.

    Every time I see a lined fretless Dargie1 Bongo4, I wonder if it's the one from this thread...

    Love it - both of them, actually - but the Bongo a little bit more since it sooo begs for bright colours, and really shines when it wears an upfront paint job!

    I really hope we'll see some fresh finishes for summer NAMM ... the used market sometimes offers nice looking Bongo 4s, and there's always the slightly mad option to book a flight to florida, but then I'd really prefer to be able to get my hands on a new (and warranted) instrument, given the price.

    Well, one can hope, right? *sigh*
    Yes, but why is the rum gone?!

    Give it some time! It will come! Just keep playing it instead of your fretted basses whenever you can for a couple of months. Fretless is such a great tone to add to your arsenal!


    PS: Don't look at the lines too much but listen instead. I also found playing to some CDs easier than playing all alone.
