Bongo 6 Speculation

[maddog]

Like the 4 and 5 string versions, is the body going to be the same size?

Actually, the headstock will be like the body of a Bongo 5

My guess: the body dimensions will be the same.

 

[ras1983]

if the body dimensions are the same, the wider neck will look awesome on the bongo's body.

I was surprised to see that the 4 string body was the same size as my 5 strings.

The way I see it--if it works, why change it? If it looks funny, I'm sure they'll notice and correct the proportions.

I can't wait to see prototypes.*

I'm so stoked about the Bongo 6 string that I might have to forego a blue dawn ltd ed. I'd love a blue dawn 6 string, but the timing probably won't work. Radiance Red might be nice, though....



I digress.













* I hope we get to see prototypes.

 

[Big Poppa]

you guys will get to see the protos if everyone behaves from here till about april we have pushed it back to the summer show to give it its due attention

 

[boomer074]

I must have one, A blue dawn one, maybe a red one, may be both.

 

[AnthonyD]

Whatever the size, it's likely to take a real-man-and-a-half to play...

Looking foward to the proto pics...

 

[tkarter]

Behave until April. Now there is a goal.

That is like telling someone that is mad at you if he opens his mouth one more time your gonna whip his butt.

I really think the very first color for the Bongo 6 should be White BP.

I like the feel of the 4 but something about the look of the 5 is oh so right. That's what got me thinking about the 6.

 

[tkarter]

Oh and we need some flatwound 6 string sets so we may stock up between now and April.

[DanielOnBass]

So what are we thinking about the headstock? 4+2?

That's what I'm talkin' about! Other colors will do just fine, but when I picture a Bongo 6 in my itsy-bitsy little mind, I see it as a very white instrument.

 

[Alma]

I'll buy one if the neck isn't too flat.

Okay, so that means it takes 120% of a real man to play a 5er, right?

I can see that this has gone about as far as it can go....

 

[Bill]

Can I order the first one off the production line? I'll be good, I promise!

 

[bass&cookies]

i'm still speculating if i can afford one

probably not, since if i have any money it'll go to a 20th sr5

 

[tkarter]

Probably the only company in the world there won't be a recall on what was produced.

Where do I sign to get the first one?
