Pride of ownership

[strummer]

Well, after trying unsuccessfully to take better pics of the black Bongo, I snapped a family pic of my basses hangin on the livingroom wall.
And yes I am very proud of these fantastic instruments, very special all of them

The favorite? Why The Envy green of course

Magnus that's a fine family you have there! Just keep the family growing.

 

[Duarte]

Wow, great family and pic. Flats I see?

Each one of those basses is a special run of some variety, very cool!

Just the Blue Dawn wearing flats, i think we should all keep at least one flats-equipped bass
And yes, all special runs of some kind though I did not really plan for that haha

mmm, very nice, the envy green is my favourite too, without having tried any of them

 

[threeminutesboy]

indeed very very nice and tasty !

Great looking family, Magnus.

Can't wait until my rosewood Bongo gets here so I can share my Bongo family pictures as well.

 

[sloshep]

That is a a beautiful family pic you have there.

Nice pic of nice basses!

For the first time it becomes obvious to me that the Bongo's body is actually larger than that of the SR5. Interesting!

 

[MingusBASS]

Which is why I'm glad the Bongo is made of basswood.

Your only single H shouldn't be the SR5. You have yet to experience the best bongo. LOL jk not really but you know me.

It's on it's way, I blame Jack, but you do know I own the Blue Bomber, right?

 

[tkarter]

I forgot about the blue bomber.
That will make it all right.

Yip, I hope so, but I'm not too sure I'll have flats on it though, we'll see...

As fine a collection of Bongo bling as I've seen since, well, yesterday

I have to say it's the blue dawn one that moves me the most.

As I've been out of the loop and live on a small island in a remote corner of the planet can you explain to me please the significance of flats on a Bongo? And would the ultimate expression of Bongo-ness therefore be flats on a single H Bongo???

 

[strummer]

can you explain to me please the significance of flats on a Bongo?

Mostly it's a Bovinehost/Tkarter/Aussie mark thing, I think those 3 are largely responsible for the fact that a lot of ppl give flats a try. And I must say that there are times when flats on a bongo just own
But rounds are my go-to strings, so there will just be the one Bongo wearing flats, the KS Blue Dawn.
