I own a gloss black Bongo HH 6 and a Baralo HH 5 (metalflake purple with a roasted figured neck with ebony FB). I have and still own basses from a lot of manufacturers and the Bongo electronics are...

Welcome! Beautiful bass, I love the color!

I also own a 5 string Bongo. It was one of the ones built for GC and has a highly figured roasted neck, ebony fingerboard and Borolo (metalflake purple) finish. Yes, the painted neck is not my...

Only needs to be played!

My bass is a recent one with the new tuners. It sits fine with no neck dive.

There is only one thing about it that does not perfectly suit me and that is the neck could be a bit more narrow at...

My bass is gloss black with chrome hardware. It is a killer bass. It weighs 9 pounds, 13 ounces which is on the light side for a Bongo 6. Most weigh more than my bass.

Wow. That was a good price. I paid $1800 for mine but it is like new. Not a mark on it.

How much were they asking for the 6 HH?

My Bongo 5 has TI flats on it. It plays and sounds fantastic. I have TI flats on many of my basses. I love them. Oh, and I have Spirocores on my upright basses. I love them too.

That color was built special order for Guitar Center and only as a 5 string.

I played the Bongo through my favorite amplification....a Pair of Aguilar GS 112's powered by an Aguilar AG 700. The Bongo has TI Flats....someone else I know loves them like I do. The tone was...

I almost never get to play electric bass. I gig all the time on upright bass and my rather large collection of electric basses stays at home.

I got called to play a gig tomorrow night in Laredo. ...

My Bongo 6 HH in action. Lousy recording...cell phone probably. Did I tell you how much I hate loud harmonica?

The Barolo 5 HH in rehearsal. Somebody didn't...

My Bongo 5 has TI flats on it and my Bongo 6 has Cobalt rounds. The one that sounds best is the one I have in my hands at any given time. Seriously, they both sound fantastic.

I've said it...

Played a rather high profile show last night. We've been rehearsing for some time and I was using one of my "other brand" 5's and was happy with the tone I was getting. At the last minute I decided...

You are not alone. My 6HH and 5 HH both have pristine headstocks!

Many years ago I learned that setting intonation using the octave (12th fret) is not the most accurate way. I read an article in Guitar Player magazine written by a guy who worked as a tech and...

Well, I am not a sparkles kind of guy. My Bongo 6 HH is gloss black, however, my Bongo 5 HH is Borelo which is a sparkle purple. I love it in spite of the color.

Congratulations on your new...

My Bongo 5 HH sounds fantastic with the original Slinky's on it. I've said it before....most bass manufacturers install strings made by a string maker and the strings are okay. Some make their own...

This is a passive bass?

Perhaps I could hire out as a fortune teller.

Yeah. I wonder who that would be?

My Barolo purple 5 and my gloss black 6.

Very nice indeed. Congratulations.

I have a Bongo 6 HH. The first Sunday I played it in church I got lots of comments about how great it sounds. They never say anything to me about the bass but always do when I play the Bongo 6.
