I miss my Bongo...

Bongo=Homerun

Bongo equals Grand Slam Home Run in Game 7 of the world series in the bottom of the 9th to win it!!!

I pm'd a friend of mine on talkbass the news about me getting a Bongo again. He said: "man, those sound great, but I just can't get past the look."

Now, I have to confess that I too am not at one with the looks of the Bongo, but if I were still activley playing, I would probably get one anyway. I have played the Bongo, and the mix of tone, versatility, & playability makes it a no-brainer. Plus you cant see what it looks like when it is strapped on....

In a slightly related matter, the person I once talked to whom had the greatest objections to how the Bongo looked, played a boutique 6 string that looked not unlike a P bass, made of Bakelite, that had melted in the sun.

Thanks for listening,
Pete

This is mine. I bought to sell it, because I already have fantastic bass G&L L1000 from 1982.
When I tried I was shocked how clear the sound is and how huge it is in the same time. I've had 2 Stingrays , one Sterling H, but the Bongo is form different world. Esthetically and sonically.
For God sake I need to sell G&L now, which I absolutely loved, because sadly there is no guitar that can compete with Bongo.
