It's missing a PIEZO though!

(Yeah yeah... I know.... )

Cool bass!

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Every time I look at the neck I am mesmerized.

Holy Smokes! I gotta have one of these!
I'm ordering one today!

Well up for sale goes my beautiful 2019 Sky Blue Bongo 5 in perfect condition!

I'll post it in the For Sale section by the end of this month in case anyone here is interested in it, before I post it on Reverb!


My Lord what will they think of next!

That is an *awesome* looking bass, and you know it will sound fantastic . Having serious Bongo envy - generally strong GAS all around lately. But the maple neck with binding...oh my...

Maple neck and Ash body were just too strong for me to say no!

So I ordered one!

Congrats!

I just don't think you can go wrong with ANY Bongo, I absolutely love my Sky Blue Bongo (Basswood body and Rosewood fingerboard), but this new BFR just takes it to another level!

The one in the OP is available as well!

These BFR Bongos are really Incredible!

 

[brash47]

The other one Zzounds has comes with a white pickguard. Is this an anomaly that accidently got out? A single one of a kind?

what a GREAT BFR!!! and the black binding!!!

I'd love a 6 string with blocks but wouldn't want to cover that flame roast. A plain maple would do.
