2006 Limited Editions - where are they?

[high mileage]

I have a Bongo 5H, and I'm trying to put a price on it after deciding for the 17th time this year that I'm really not much of a five-string kind of guy - even though I spent the last 10+ years doing it...

So, of course I start looking to see what they're selling for here and other websites, completed items on good 'ol ebay. Can't find a one of them, nowheres. And I don't see them in pictures that often either.

I know they're not "rare" or anything, but what does the '06 LE version add to the value of a bass?

The most famous 2006LE would be Koog's Single H Bongo 4. I am sure this think lost a dollar or two in value do to the small dings it has. JOSH

Uhh - that's Koogs and he plays hard (and fights hard!!)

Just think of all the venom ofTownshend/Hendrix/Gallagher/Gatton/Flea all tolled into one.

I still have my 06 LE and I do bleeb that there weren't that many of them.

Here's mine:

There's a bongo4HH for sale here in the Netherlands, owner is asking EUR1400 (don't think he'll get it though).

Does anyone know how many LE2006 basses were made anyway?

I think Basscentral still has a few if some1's looking for 1

Much of that wear and tear doesn't appear to be the result of playing hard. If so, the pickup and pickguard should be ground into dust.

i believe he wears a studded costume on stage which has attributed to most of the wear

What kind of animal could do this?

He's not an animal!

Well, wait. He's not a vegetable or a mineral and he stands upright and has opposable thumbs....I guess he is an animal.

Keko, it's okay. Koogs, as mentioned, wears this crazy metal studded outfit onstage (perhaps elsewhere, I don't ask) and enjoys himself quite a bit. And he loves his bass, which is called War Hammer.

Koogs!

His gig threads remind me of a collision between Gene Simmons and Gwar. Real cool

 

[the unrepentant]

only koogs but hey, they're made to be played

 

[Duarte]

I seem to remember him telling us about the time this bass flew across a venue a smacked into the bar on the other side of the room...recieving no structural damage in the process. Awesome.

 

[high mileage]

but hey, they're made to be played

Agreed. He got his money's worth out of that one! My Stingray is pretty much mint in comparison, and I never thought I'd say that.

Anyone?

he is not an animal....he is a bass god.

if your going to scream on stage dont just give a wee argh....think of Koogs and scream from the dept of your lungs and screm like its the last time you will ever scream

 

[djaxup]

Ah ok spiked metal bracers, that explains the little holes in the body. And to that style i guess only a mauled bass fits

 

[SteveS]

Not sure how many were made. Mine's right here - coming up on her 3rd bday. She was born on the 21st - might be one of last of her kind.

I remember the 2006 LE's being popular in South America and Europe. Must have been the black and gold.
