The Bongo never ceases to AMAZE me.....

[asianjeff]

yea.. the bongo really sings through the 900 watt head.... I use it to conquer worlds with it in my spare time when I don't play it in church.

 

[tkarter]

I sure do love the Bongo 5 H. I can turn my volume down on the bongo and kill some of the gain on the amp and still hear myself playing in a loud setting and so can everyone else. I can also crank it up and get some booty shaking.

I think me likely mine a lot.

I want.

I have this ancient padded Kustom....It's maybe 400w, and I never cared for it w/ my old pbass. Let me tell you, I used it for a rehearsal/jam this weekend w/ my Bongo. What a tone!! It was killer - by the end of the session, my hands were aching, but I did not want to stop!! Too much fun.


Thanks BP, Pete, and Tommy - I love my Bongo!

It seems no matter what you plug the Bongo into it still sounds awesome.......

I'm still drawing tones out of mine that I've never heard before......how cool is that???.

Ahhhhhhhhh, padded Kustom amps, now that brings back memories - now back to your regularly scheduled thread!

Speaking of memories, I blew up one of those Kustom amps with a P bass. I can't imagine what the Bongo would of done to it.

A Bongo would have blown it up, then urinated on it to make it feel even worse.

Then it would have raped and pillaged all of Kustomlandia just to find that amp's family and steal their jellys and preserves.

And then done scorn-filled interviews with Dick Cavett, whom would later also be blown up. And eaten.

And then there would be laughter, and smoking of cigars.

I have a Kustom 3X12 cab that my bongo ruined during testing to see how that big boy would work. LOL

I run my Bongo through 2 drastically different rigs (SVT and Markbass) and the Bongo does sound a little different in each but still retains its fundamental character. It is without a doubt an amazing bass. I get a lot of comments on it everytime I play it. It also sounds great when recording direct.

........uh, thanks for the cautionary tales........

reminder to self: do not dime Bongo through the Kustom until I'm ready to turn old amp into a kitschy lamp stand!

 

[Mr-Bassman]

The Bongo "toilet seat look phobia" is starting to fade on me and methinks I'm starting to like the look; you guys are dragging me in I'm waiting for BP to give us the fantasy ebony fretboard stealth we all lust for. I think an ebony stealth would end all the wars creating world peace, stop global warming and bring gas back down to $1 a gallon. BP!! FOR ALL THE GOOD AND RIGHTEOUSNESS OF MANKIND YOU MUST CREATE THIS

 

[Oldtoe]

An old Bongo friend of mine is coming back to me, with a twist.

Thanks, Lisa!

I was in a GC not to long ago. I finally got to try my first Bongo 5. It was an HH model and was red. That day it was very noisy and I was having trouble hearing myself without entering in to the volume wars. A couple of minor eq teaks on the Bongo and that thing was cutting through the noise like a machete going through the jungle. I think its starting to happen to me.... Bongo fever.

I also once turn the bass knob all the up on Bongo and made an Ampeg combo fart. I won't do that again.

 

[ekb16b]

and again.. i gotta get me a bongo

In that case, I'll take two.
