Two new Balls! Bongo 5 and SR4 FL content

[Baird]

Hello again all....

I have had likely a dozen EBMM basses over the years... Bongos, SRs (pre EB and EB), Sterlings...

I went through the whole Sadowsky, Roscoe, Dingwall, MTD, Warwick and Fender thing and am back with a couple of amazing MM basses.

The Bongo is a 2006 and is killer. The only bass (out of the 60+ I have owned over the last 5 years) I really missed was my Egyptian Smoke Bongo 5 HH. I was lucky enough to find this baby and just love it.

The SR is a 2 band 2010 or 2011 and is the best fretless I have ever owned.... and I have owned a bunch. Amazingly it is playable in a hard rock band (Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Beckcherry, etc.) with flats! Sounds great and even unlined, it is a dream to play... in tune!

I have said this in the past dozens of times, but these 2 are really keepers!

Sorry about the crappy pic...

I'd only trade my Bongo for.... well... yours! Love the gold

The Desert Gold Bongo is such an iconic Bongo, if there can be an iconic Bongo.

Desert Gold and Sapphire Black. I wonder what percentage of Bongos are one of those two colors...

Desert gold is still one of the coolest colors ever, too.

I feel the same about my two EBMM basses which are, funny enough, an unlined fretless Ray and a Bongo 5'er.

I think the Egyptian Smoke Bongo 5HH I owned a few years back was THE iconic Bongo IMO. THAT is a cool looking bass!

On another note, my fretless SR has one of the best paint jobs I have ever seen on a sunburst guitar. Flawless and the wood is killer.

I have my 2 guitard bandmates dropping their Les Pauls and Strats and playing Axis, Luke and Silouettes lately too. They can't believe how well made and great sounding EBMM guitars are. And well priced too.....

Very nice. That is an excellent combo.

Is it just me or are we seeing more and more FL players here?

Nice pair of basses - great combination (Pino fretless as well!).

Bongos sure look great in any colour resembling orange.
