    If only he would install the aftermarket turbo, he then could go over a 100.

    2012 is certainly the year of the Bongo for me. Got to play my new stealth 5HH at a Jam/Rehearsal this past weekend and everyone was floored.

    Got the call this week for Jefferson Day - biggest township summer fair in my area. We are the main attraction this year with the prime slot from 7:15PM - 9:15PM... Right before the HUGE fireworks display.

    This event get a captive audience of about 5,000 - 7,000 folks at that time. The Bongo is VERY psyched!
    It's all about the bass!

    Thats mine. It arrived last week, used. I bought it with intention to sell it. It is very popular bass lately. When it plugget it in I was on my knees. I play pretty fast and dense, always had some problem with clear articulation while using other basses. This one is better than anything else I had. In past I had two Stingrays, Sterling H, bunch of Fenders USA P and J.
    My love was G&L L1000 from 1982, but now sadly speaking I need to sell G&L because there is no bass that can compete with Bongo.

    Every year is year of the Stingray unless the 'Ray feels like letting someone else take the mic temporarily
