Bongo 6 Update!

[Lo end PUNCH]

Hmm? What color/s to get...stealth H?.....I dunno

 

[Fred E.]

Careful, Trane. I have a feeling that a fretless Stingray, Sterling, or Bongo could quickly be in your future if you hang around here. You have been warned.

Hey Trane, I've owned & played all 3 of the above in fretless--a fretless Sterling was not quite for me; I just got my fretless Dargie SR 2 Band & like it fine, but not anywhere as much as I love my fretless Bongo HH--sometimes I'll just take that one out & leave anything fretted at home.

Late Tuesday Torture- 1st Playable Bongo6 Prototype

At long last- here is the first fully assembled Bongo6. The pickup is still in development so we installed a prosthetic one in just for looks.

Here's one of the Bongo6 and and an old ash Bongo5 side by side.

 

[MingusBASS]

Wow...thanks for these new pics!

 

[Dr Stankface]

Oh my lucky stars!!!


I must have one.

 

[HELLonWHEELS]

Omg The Gas It Hurts!!!!!


Whats the wood on the Bongo 6?

 

[adouglas]

I need bigger hands.

Dad-gum genetics. Sheesh.

I'm not a trained designer, but I like to think I have a reasonably good eye. I'm constantly impressed by the EBMM crew. You've taken the very lovely shape of the Bongo and widened it without making it look bloated or ugly in any way.

That's frakkin' awesome. And not easy to do.

Can't wait to hear how it balances.

I have to admit that I hit up my local GC at lunch today to play a six string bass - never really spent time with one, but figured it was worth the time since I know I'll end up buying a Bongo 6 eventually.

Really digging the single H on that - probably what I'll end up with if I can afford it...I mean *when* I afford it.

Plus, that ash 5 stringer looks great.

 

[roburado]

Cool! That looks like a big beast.

 

[bassmonkeee]

That is stunning. And, that ash 5 string is simply extra cruel torture.....

 

[scottbass71]

That looks fantastic thanks for the insight

 

[midopa]

ooooooooooooooo snap Looks so awesome.

+1 with Jason. That naked ash Bongo looks sweeeeeet.

 

[HunterSThompson]

Nice...Now if you just drop a jazz pickup between that pickup & the bridge ..You'd Pull Me Under

 

[Big Poppa]

how about if we just put a pillow over your face...J PU!!!!!!!

 

[bovinehost]

Whoa.



Ash.

Bongo.

FIVER.

Okay, I need a towel.

Back to the Bongo 6.

Thank you.

Jack

 

[syciprider]

W00t!

The spacing seems the same as the Bongo 5 and the overall size doesn't look that much bigger.

 

[slucas]

Get 'em BP

 

[HunterSThompson]

how about if we just put a pillow over your face...J PU!!!!!!!

I'm just not feeling the LOVE .....All I'm saying is take the single that you have as an option..and stick it between the bridge & the humbucker ...No need to Beeyatch slap me in front of the kids..For the love of..I still have NEWBIE under my name So as marketing..what do you think of a 1940's era bus with 2 huge rainbows of guitars going overhead...I think that would be great at N.A.M.M

 

[phatduckk]

the ash bongo's pretty rad too!

 

[Bill]
