An Epiphany: Touched by the Bongo Angel ...

[OldSchool Noob]

I get it now.

I really understand the Zealotry.

I see why grown men giggle like little kids over a musical instrument.

You see, today I went to my local GC and played two Bongos for about two hours ...

* A black 4-string HH. Nice -- very nice. Tonality was totally versatile. It was a floor model that had obviously been handled quite a bit. Still felt great. Left me with a feeling of "Hey -- this is nice! I like this!"

* A 5 string HH in Rolls Burgundy. Oh ... My ... Goodness. It was like the heavens parted or something. The neck was perfect. I've played a lot of fivers and they necks tend to feel wide and ungainly. Not so, this puppy! It felt like ... home! And the tone ... the b-string was to die for! Somebody said in another thread that the HH tone is like "The voice of God" ... that's EXACTLY RIGHT!

This is the bass I've been looking for since I first started playing!!!​

I gotta have one.​

I know, I know.

It's beautiful -- and that color combination (Buttercreme/Tort) is my favorite on any bass.

The problem is that $1,100 (unbudgeted!), 4 days before Christmas may be too tough for me to swing.

Where have we heard that before...

Welcome to the club!

Welcome to the club!

Amen to that! As far as bassists and guitarists go, half the fun is in trying out or owning different axes!

There aren't too many of us out there with more than a few years playing/gigging experience that have only owned one axe the whole time...

...I mean, where's the fun in that?

How come we players gotta *pay for* Bongos? I mean, we don't own them, they own us. Our Bongos should give us a warm place to sleep, clean water [so we don't drink from the toilit] and lots of table scraps.

You should be damned pleased they pay the rent!
If you want a warm place to sleep, get a tube amp.

Jack! You should be gone to Peru;
But since you haven't left, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR
