Bongo 6 Update!

[kneeoh]

I spy... JP's face looking up at BP from the July Guitar Player mag

 

[dlloyd]

Awesome!

 

[DT1607]

...even though i've never played a 6 stringer before i'll really consider playing one of these

 

[KennethB]

Hey, BP looks happy. The thumb is up.
A question about the string spacing: it is the same as the 5-strings, right? Or is it tighter?

 

[roburado]

Looks like BP plays fast enough to keep up with DT.

Seems like BP's got his Wimbledon whites on.

 

[roburado]

Okay, that's just the coolest picture.

 

[midopa]

+1 with Rob. That last pic is great. Lookin' good BP! When are you guys gonna start offering poster versions of these pics?

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

When can I order?

 

[Kristopher]

Wow, seeing BP hold and play it makes it look... extremely playable! It definitely looks like a lot of fun. I'm usually a 4-string guy but I'm looking forward to trying it out!

 

[Alma]

Looks much better being played....Very cool BP!

Say, what's that really red bongo sitting there in the rack, looks like it has a wenge neck or something :s It'd def not the same colour as the body! Hmm...

I initially thought it might be the rosewood necked Bongo, but unless it's had a body transplant, it's unlikely...

Maybe the Mahogany Bongo?

Maybe it's just the angle/light and it's an ordinary Bongo.

 

[roburado]

I don't know. Looks like rosewood neck to me.

The shots of BP playing the Bongo 6 are cool, but it hasn't been fully tested until he plays it in his lap!

 

[Fraxture]

"I want my, I want my, I want my Bongo 6...."
...oh yeah, and my chicks for free....

 

[Big Poppa]

Manu is off today Ill have him post the right shots!

It took me a little while to get used to the Bongo shape with the 4 and 5 string versions, but for some reason, it just looks natural with that six string. I guess six string basses usually look non-traditional anyway, but I think that's one of the best looking and most appealing six string basses I've ever seen.

 

[maddog]

are they going to be offered fretless?

 

[Psychicpet]

the Bongo shape has finally found the number of strings it was meant to have!!!

that is the most confusing/not-6-looking looking 6!! It's wicked!!!

I mean Bongos look great already as 4s and 5s but now with this 6, it looks like it was just meant to be. and the "Silver Bear" finish.... hot dang if that ain't the colour!!

BP, just out of interest how did you have the B6 tuned? There was some earlier discussion about preferences.

Looks great by the way Any chance of some mp3's after the photo's? Or better yet another video to add to the collection?

I think it might be the only 6 string bass I've ever seen that looks right
