This is my Bongo

[adouglas]

This is my Bongo.

There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My Bongo is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life.

My Bongo without me is useless. Without my Bongo, I am useless.
I must play my Bongo true.
I must play better than my guitarist who is trying to drown me out.
I must out-groove him before he out-distorts me. I will...

My Bongo and myself know that what counts in music is not the notes we play, the volume of our sound, nor the show we put on.
We know it is the groove that counts. We will groove...

My Bongo is human, even as I, because it is my life.
Thus, I will learn it as a brother.
I will learn its strengths, its parts, its accessories, its strings, and its neck.

I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage.
I will keep my Bongo clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready.
We will become part of each other. We will...

Before God I swear this creed.

My Bongo and myself are the defenders of the groove.
We are the masters of thump.
We are the saviors of Bass.

So be it, until there is no noise, but only Music.

excellent

no poetry from me, but some say a picture paints a thousand words, which helps when you can't think of anything to write ..

for a long time I thought I would only say this is my Bongo :

but now I have to also say THIS is my Bongo :

I was tempted back to the HH because this one has piezo saddles too, and has flatwounds on it, rather than the stainless roundwounds on the HS

Here is my new baby...I love it

Does anybody know the size of the hex wrench for outside anchor bolts on the bridge. One of them was loose when I got my bass and metric size wrenches don't seem to fit perfectly.

Maybe it was already said here on the forum but allen wrenches should be part of the package in my opinion.
