Does This Mean I'm a Bongoloid?

[kamakazee]

Just got my Bongo 6 HH in Pearl Blue, thought I'd share!

P.S. So can I be a Bongoloid now?

 

[bovinehost]

When you're a Bongoloid,
You're a Bongoloid all the way
From your first trembling order
To your last dyin' day.

When you're a Bongoloid,
If the spit hits the fan,
You got brothers around,
You're a company man!

You're never alone,
You're never disconnected!
You're home with your own:
When company's expected,
You're well protected!

Then you are sick
With a capital S,
Which you'll never forget
Till they cart you away.
When you're a Bongoloid,
You stay a Bongoloid!

And for the record, this is the most amazing instrument I've ever played!

Also, am I the only one that thinks that streaking in the fretboard is gorgeous?

 

[adouglas]

We are all Bongoloids.

Some of us simply haven't realized it yet.

You're not the only one. I've had a few rosewood boards like that and thought they were beautiful.

One of my Stingrays have streaking in the rosewood board and it looks great.

Congrats on the Bongo. Great choice on the colour!

Blue beauty!

 

[Big Poppa]

dont ask questions that you already know the answers to!

 

[Powman]

That is a beautiful colour, my fellow Bongoloid!

Scary in a nice way , Beautiful looking Bongo nice one

My friend tells me its way overkill for my first EBMM. I tell him what I tell everyone else that bashes 6 string basses: If a guitar can have 6, then so can a bass!

 

[drTStingray]

Nice bass. Definitely a Bongoloid!

 

[OldManMusic]

Even though you'll never need another bass, you'll end up with more Bongos. Accept it, it's a fact. Beautiful bass.

this is one of the nicest, if not THE nicest rosewood boards I 've ever seen! Sweet Bass... Congratulations!

 

[sitonmybass]

I immediately noticed that fretboard! I like rosewood fretboards with the color variations...very nice!

Congratulations!

Why is it that I crave another Bongo? I'm loving this thing! One question though - Does the Bongo ever dig into your leg while sitting and playing? Mine's giving me a bruise lol

Mine doesn't dig into my leg. No bruises either.

 

[Kamakiriad]

I have found that after playing sitting down for a while, the Bongo 6 can do that. Might have something to do with the larger body weight. Great bass, though, and great fingerboard!

Makes me wonder... has anyone experimented with stringing up a Bongo 5 as E-A-D-G-C?

Yeah, me too!

One more 6 banger monster Bongo!

Congrats! Blue pearl looks awesome with this fret board!
