I have the same exact bass... nice score! Bongos are truly works of art - and they sound pretty good, too!

I've 4 currently: 79 Stingray, Dargie II Bongo 5 HH, SR5 Sky Blue/Maple, and Stingray Classic 5 in white... so that gets us to 1520?

I say 'Go For It'...

Picked up a beautiful white SR5 Classic recently and gigged with it live for first time last night. My usual bass is a recent issue (non-classic) SR5 with maple board and standard 3 band EQ, and I've...

That is VERY cool - in looking closely, the binding appears to be the chequered style a la older Rickenbackers...
I agree, a binding option similar to what G&L does would be very cool on a 'Ray...

Nice.. but that's a Dargie I, not II... ;)

+ 79 Stingray
+ 2015 SR5 H
+ DD II Bongo 5 HH

= 1484

Didn't OLP put out an EBMM licensed version of his SR5 bass in the Peach color about 10 years back? Wonder how close it was to the real thing...

Wow... those look fabulous...

Wow, that looks AWESOME ... enjoy it..

Yeah, they're black...

I have only ever seen them in black vinyl, and they are rare.... I always wished I'd spent a little more and got the hardshell case...

Yep - that's it! Here's mine:

Sorry it took me a few days to take a pic; again, this gig bag came with my 'Ray stamped 1979 that I bought new in 1980.. and still own.

I still have the original vinyl (!) Music Man gig bag that came with my '79 'Ray when I bought it new in 1980 at Gracin's in Hempstead, NY. It served me well for many years, as I never had a...

I own the Protec Contego gig bag and use it all the time with my SR5; it is a great bag that is very sturdy and fits the SR5 perfectly...

That's one sweet Sky Blue SR5 HS... but I prefer the look of my SR5 H, with the maple board and white pickup...

I can check my '79 as well...

Interesting read... thanks.

I think it looks very cool....

I have some basses that I love and play that have a glossy finish on the back of the neck, but really prefer the oil or a thin satin finish. I have done outdoor gigs in the cold where the glossy neck...

Realize I'm resurrecting an old thread here, but wanted to share my latest aquistion, found here on the For Sale or Trade thread about a month or so ago. This bass is truly a 'Work Of Art'; had been...

Hmmm.. interesting; then I stand corrected...and yes a Koa bongo would be KILLER...
but my all-time favorite Bongo finish is on the one I own (on my newly-acquired 5 HH) - The Dargie Delight II...

Not really, have owned a few old Koa BC Riches back in the day; they were pretty light and believe koa is generally a light wood...

I'll chime in on this one; just bought a brand spankin' new SR 5 w/ a maple board; compared to my old 2000 rosewood-board SR 5 (which I no longer own), the lacquer on the headstock front and back is...

+3 - A white/maple Sabre Classic 5 w/ a white pickguard is my dream bass...
