    `

    I dig neck binding cuz I don't dig fret sprouting.
    The cosmetic thing is cool on olde school style
    basses, but looks weird on a modern style, like
    frinstintz I can't imagine it on a Boingo.

    Wow very cool binding and PG, who is it for?
    bovinehost: Yes, I do agree with that, but if there's nothing wrong then there's nothing wrong.
    Beth: I would compare Bongo to Tommy Lee Jones. Bad a$$ and just hot in a weird way...
    cheezewiz: They should take their lace thongs off and play bass.


    Stingray 5 Classic, coral red
    Bongo 5 H, Dargie Delight, in some cave somewhere...
    Bongo 5 HH, Black w/ rosewood neck
    Heinz The Wonder Bass, going back to Jack...

    darth vader...

    MrM
    just put flats on the bongo!!
    just put roundwounds on your fretless!!

    eb customer support:
    E-mail: musicman_customerservice@ernieball.com
    Telephone: +1 866-823-2255

    trussrod adjustment:
    Click here for an image!
    less relief / flatter = lower action
    more relief / bow = higher action
    do NOT use cheap tools to adjust with. they might break and scrape up your pressious!
    also, if you are lucky enough to have a 100th namm sr4: the truss works the other way around on that one!
