I did a terrible thing to my Bongo

[strummer]

I put flats on it.

So far, it really works, tohugh I don't want to admit it.

Flats are for old people.

Uh oh...

 

[bassmonkeee]

So, you finally grew up, eh? ;P

Flats on a Bongo is one of life's true treasures. Of course, so are rounds. But, they each have their magic to them. I also like different styles of beer, whisk(e)y, and tequila, too.

Well, MattOfSweden gave them to me, so I can blame him
But yep, what a punchy combo, Bongo and flats, once again the Bongo almost scares me.
Now, if you could go get my other bongo for me, I'd have one with flats and one with rounds, deal?

When my stock EB's die off, one of my Bongo's will get flats!

I have two packs ready in my draw..all set!

Bongo with flats = purrfection

I have audio proof as well.

Switching from rounds to flats is a sign of wisdom and maturity, along the lines of switching from drinking lagers to drinking ales.

 

[jlepre]

I made the switch on my SR5 a couple years ago, and they STILL sound amazing.

I know exactly how you feel... In the end I refused to admit it and went back to rounds.

 

[Duarte]

Sounds like a good thing to me.

 

[kylierider]

Yeah...been playing flats since 2006. I'm sold...kinda tames them Stingrays down a bit

 

[KevinM]

I've had flats on both of my Bongos at one time or another. I've switched them out but they do sound pretty good.

I have one of the original '03 Boingos, which I bought new,
and as soon as I got it home, before I played even 1 more
note on it, it got flatified ... with a set of flats about 5 years
older than the Boingo [which I removed from an FL so there
were no fret dents in the strings].

Choose well when choosing flats, cuz they last for years !

I put flats on my Ray...

but I am old. (um... mature.)

 

[mmbassplayer]

Anyone have flats on a PDN Bongo? Kinda curious. JOSH

 

[Holdsg]

no but flats on a PDN Big Al is a sweet combo, but I'm a old school flats guy, so what do I know.

Me too. Flats on the Ray, I mean. Otherwise,
no "me too". I am NOT mature .... just OLD !
