Bongo 5 HH - I must resist!

[Movielife]

I have seen a very brightly coloured Bongo 5 HH available in a store.

Its a discontinued colour, but still new. Not ex demo or anything like that.

I know they will sell it less than the website price, which is quite a lot lower than the 2011 prices. I COULD just afford, and I mean just, but I should be sensible.

Oh heck!

I can see a few days of 'should I/shouldnt I' now.

You're lucky its not in the states, I would grab it. Would love to hear what you think Bongo vs Sterling vs Big Al.
I have a Sterling, my Big Al I bought was TERRIBLE & returned it in 24 hours but it was a used lemon & now I'm gassing for a Bongo 5

No you shouldn't.

Be sensible, I mean.

Ask yourself this question: "Do I have a Bongo?"

I'm asking myself this Q every day!

let me get this right...you've seen a bongo...which you could buy...and you didn't?

this does not compute...

the graph is a nice touch...but "NO" should be eliminated from the equation, as it is never an option

Movielife - you know you have to buy it.

I have an orangey coloured one of this spec (+ a piezo) and it's great fun.

 

[Movielife]

Are there any soundclips/vids of these basses?

Decisions like this are far easier if you just go ahead and do it.

Bellyaching about it just causes stress which lowers life expectancy. Live long, buy a Bongo.

Go for it, I promise you won't be disappointed!!!! And yes there are vids on the net. Do a google search......

This is my favorite Bongo HH video on Youtube.

Looks like a tee shirt in the making.

Saratoga Guitars used to have shirts that read:
"When in Doubt, Buy a Guitar".

Same idea here, but better graphics.

That's awesome! He obviously didn't listed to the guys who say to barely touch the EQ when testing the sound.

I was telling my kids a little nursery rhyme earlier tonight. You should listen to the wisdom in it:
"Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear. Fuzzy Wazzy had no hair. Now Fuzzy Wuzzy said, 'Buy the Bongo.'"
It has a certain ring to it, doesn't it?

I have never been interested in a Bongo. I always hated the look of them, but then I played one. I finally get what you guys go absolutely nuts over with these basses.

I have had Stingrays in the past. The Bongo has the same great build quality but is PURE power.

Ok firstly, nice group of MM's, looks like a Bongo would fit right in.
