[AnthonyD]

I am actually thinking about one of these...


Was very nice to handle in the desert...

 

[Ruhtra]

Dude!!! that Bongo 6 is ****in awesome... I`ll buy one someday ...

 

[Kadavr]

Ready to pick the lefty prototypes of Bongo 6 ;-)

Could even come over the ocean for that =)

 

[SeelsHH]

WOW, i wouldn't think twice about getting one of them

 

[nicolasd]

*jumps up and down*

I just got myself a trans red SR4 with matching head stock, the 21st cant come soon enough to add a HS 6 string bongo to my MM collection.

What color is this bass?

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!

What is the official color of the Bongo6 bass that BP is playing? Is it Silver or Graphite-pearl?

OK, what about lefties now?

Not yet...I can't find the quote, but Dargin said they aren't doing them yet.

 

[Kadavr]

OK, I'll be back here in a couple of months! =)

Anyway, here, in Eastern Europe there are two of us lefties strongly willing this stuff.

 

[daangroen]

6-string slinky's

i don't know if you already talked about that, but will there be any 6 string slikeys?

the 6-string slinky sets already excisted way before the Bongo-6 saw the light

here's a link

https://store.ernieball.com/product/part_number=P02838/574.0.5908.23613.16795.5281.0

i personally hope they also will finally start creating 5 and 6 string stainless steel sets!!!

i have been playing a fretted BN-6 F-bass in the past, i liked the fact of playing 6-string, but i couldn't agree with the sound of the BN-6 in a band situation, especially when performing live

the c & g strings sounded too mellow, not enough like a bass and they didn't had the "growl" i was looking for, they had treble etc.. but not the right type of treble, let's say not the cut-through-the-mix type of treble, in easier words: no funk sound

so being a big Musicman fan for almost 9 years, i can't wait to get a hold on a fretted Bongo-6!!!

just waiting for the piezo option on a fretless Bongo-6.....

 

[tkarter]

I am getting kind of anxious for my bongo 6 to arrive.

[INMT]

you and me both brother

 

[tkarter]

I am going to live until mine gets here. Are you?

tk

 

[INMT]

Naw, the wait was to much, I'm done for.
Actually I didn't really think about it to much until Pete Emailed me saying it should be to him this Friday.
Maybe I should get myself a new amp to celebrate.

 

[tkarter]

Pete hasn't emailed me yet dang it. I think you will be okay. Hang in there.
