    I 'think' the $1850 includes the Bongo shell...it says "bongo comes with it also". So $1850 to take it apart and reassemble the Bongo, then sell the other thing on eBay?

    Plus, what color is that Bongo? White? Almost looks like Buttercreme...

    No kidding!! $1800 for THAT?!? Hahaha. Plus, IMO, the Bongo body looks WAAAAAY cooler than the J. What a waste.

    Gentlemen,

    Please, show some compassion. That was a Buttercream Bongo from the looks of it that gave it's guts up.

    Guess it's a testament to the awesomeness of the Bongo's electronics. I suppose he was one of the closeted Bongoloids who would go to any length to hide his true self.

    I would only take Bongo electronics out of a Bongo if I were going to put them in another Bongo. And then I'd feel dumb because why go through all that to have a Bongo when you already have one?

    I'm going to get drunk now.
