Help! Bongo 4 HH

[Sounie]

Hello, I'm new here and I'm looking to buy a bongo in the hopefully near future.

I know I want a bongo 4 or 5 with two humbuckers, but I am having a problem deciding what color/pickguard combo I want because they're all just so pretty.

Just wondering if I could get some pictures of bongo's in any available EBMM colors?

Thanks!

2H pickups will give you very wide range of tones. Most of the colors are on the main EBMM site. re 4 or 5 strings. I feel B on 5th is too low, so I detune the 4th from E to D (or you can fit a hipshot detuner)

Go for the five! There are some nice used ones for sale above.

I really like the HH models. I have a Bongo 5 HHp and it's excellent.

I own a Dargie II version of my Bongo, which is now out of production (it was only offered for a month). However, as far as finishes on Bongos go, you really can't go wrong. I really like Candy Apple Red and Blue Pearl, myself.

Yeah I'm teetering between four and five strings for silly little reasons, but in the end I'll probably get the five.

ANYWAYS, thanks for the input, but I'd really enjoy some high quality pictures of the current colors EBMM stocks (and maybe some other colors such as the Dargie which is pretty too.)

No affiliation here, just a consumer. I would check out any of these fine retailers that have wonderful inventory pics that should stoke some heavy-duty Bongo GAS:
theperfectbass.com
basscentral.com
dubaldomusic.com
martinmusicguitar.com
bassemporium.com

And I apologize if I left anyone out, but these are the ones that I use to get my blood lust going.

Stealth Bongo.

Thanks guys! I appreciate it.

And wow, there are some very nice looking ones on those sites. It's going to be so hard to choose which one I want when the time comes. Hopefully that time is soon, I want a bongo sooo bad. Along with a lot of other things, but I don't have that kind of money!

My Bongo 4HH arrived yesterday after a wait of 4 months. But boy was it worth the wait!

The new Dargies are sick... Mine turns a super deep auburn color @ the right angle.
