Bongo 5 HHP

[DTG]

This is a beast, I mean a real beast of a bass. I have it about a week or so but used it at its first real gig at the weekend and it was killer.
The first thing I notice with bongos is how natural they feel when you have them on. Then you start to play and its tone heaven.

This is on loan from a good mate and it is in complete perfect condition, I was terrified to take it out to a gig. No buckle rash no plek marks not even a headstock chip. Its like its brand new even the case is perfect ! for that reason it will only be taken to nice gigs

I am gonna have to get one of these for myself; the bongo 5 is just too good not to own!

 

[ivbenaplayin]

I concur... Bongo 5 HHp is an absolute BEAST!

 

[jlepre]

I owned one in Medallion Gold, and I concur that it IS a beast!

The look on your face says it all. What scares me is that you look happier holding that Bongo then you do in the picts with your 25th.

The piezo has got to take it to the next world. Great picture of the bass in action. It looks black in the picture, I like it.

 

[shakinbacon]

dude, how tall are you? The bongo looks puny in your pictures I feel like a wee gurly man

 

[bovinehost]

I'm happy if you're happy, but you need to get back down to the money notes, son.

 

[syciprider]

Money notes? Manring will disagree!

 

[DTG]

I was playing " all right now " I think it's the only time I go that high in a gig. You gotta love the high notes on the bongo too !

Ha ha not that big ! 6 ft and about 220, I try to run 3 or 4 times a week and I am 4 th Dan black belt, but yeah i am no slim Jim

I love my 25 th it's the perfect size and weight got so many really amazing tones.... But the bongo ! Man I got to get me one of these just for the tone, it's a beast I tells ya

 

[keko]

Congrats Man, I must admit that envy You on that beast!

After long thinking and research, trying two Bongos, I can say now that exactly this model, HHp 5 is a winner Bongo configuration!

If I ever could afford a Bongo that will be probably HHp 5 banger!

 

[DTG]

Yup if I ever could afford one it will be this one too ! Bass is only on loan but I am trying to convince my good friend to sell it ! I don't hold out too much hope as he knows just how good they are

Love to see this ^, even after only having mine a couple of years I still feel that the Bongo 5 is the "one". It does it all and still continues to impress me every time I pick one up.

 

[Manfloozy]

Nice Dave! That was extremely cool of Fran and I'm glad you are getting some play time back on a Bongo.

I'm lusting for one again too....

 

[DTG]

Yeah Matt it was really cool, I really don't want to get a scratch on this as he has looked after it so well !

 

[Big Poppa]

Great Job! Love it if you ended up with that bass.

 

[DTG]

Yup ! But my wife might feel different 

 

[drTStingray]

Yup ! But my wife might feel different 

I think you need that bass

I have the same model myself and couldn't imagine being without it.

Sounds like that bass is in good hands. Black belted bongo guard, I mean body guard.

 

[DTG]
