Okay, so I missed it by one day....

Yesterday was the DOB for my Bongo 5 HHp, Desert Gold, tort.

Doesn't seem like a year...I've had a BALL (yuk, yuk) trading jibes with you knuckleheads and participating in the general mayhem.

More importantly, I've had the privilege of playing such a fine bass for that time.

This thing kicks ass. Period. I still get all jiggly thinking about it, and that's never happened with any previous instrument.

I still owe Pete DuBaldo a purchase for being kind enough to let me invade his shop a year ago, with all my gear in tow, to do an a/b comparison with my then-current bass...KNOWING that I would not buy the bass from him.

Pete: If the coming developments in 07 are remotely like I think they will be, rest assured there will be an order coming your way.

I've had arrows slung at me, and I've slung a few of my own. I've been shamed, and I've levied shame. In the end, it's all good...I'm dammed proud to be part of this crew!

My DG White Ice Bongo 5's Birthday is the same as BP's Birthday. (Purchase date anyway)

Happy Birfday Bongo!
