It's Official....Bongo 6 "In The House" !

[CaptainFingers]

After 10 of the most agonizing, torturous weeks of waiting, my Bongo6 is here!

It's beautiful! The official first tune played on it was..."Learning to Live" by Dream Theater.


Pic could be better. I haven't removed the plastic film from the pickguard yet.!

More pics to come !

Thanks Guys for the compliments!

Now I need someone's help. I can't seem to add any more pics (attachments). Is there a max for newbies? I'm maxed at 146kb. Am I doing something wrong?

Wow that's awesome Capt, the Bongo was made to play Dream Theater !(really)
How is the weight and balance on it ? I bet its spot on !

 

[Spudmurphy]

Now that is a nice looking 6 stringed beast!!

- one thing that springs to mind - how much is a set of strings for that ??

I haven't weighed it yet, but it is definately lighter than my original Yamaha TRB6P ( the one Patitucci used during his early days with Corea's Elektric Band). I have shoulder cramps and knotted all up after a 3 set night with that thing. But it does sound good.

Neck is a little narrower and string spacing much narrower on the Bongo6. May take a little getting used to. Been playing that TRB6P since March '92.
