Bongo 6 Update!

[Bass Control]

My money is on Christmas. Can we look forward to the window opening up before then BP? I know they may not be ready by then (then again, if the window opens in August-September), but these would be sweet Christmas gifts to one's self even if they don't come for a few months.

My other question about prototypes and Myung stands though. This would be good to know before they begin the US leg of their tour.

 

[n!k]

I can't believe people think the Bongo looks so weird. Looking at that picture with the added string it looks curvy like some kind of futuristic archtop guitar.

 

[ooglay]

Panic attack..

Holyy cow, those are nice!

 

[MingusBASS]

It just looks so RIGHT as a 6er. Bass that is...

 

[Eggman]

Oh my - I have a pain in my wallet!


(can I get one in MOG?)
*ducks and runs for cover*

 

[bassmonkeee]

Those look sweet. I can't imagine where that silver one might end up....

It might not be for a year, or two, but I will own a six string Bongo.

Good work!

You just might see the black one on tour with a certain progressive rock band this summer. For some reason I can't seem to find it in the factory any more...

Nice one.

 

[Biker4Him]

amazing looking. I really like the black.. too bad I'm not a super great bass player in a certain progressive rock band...

congrats on building a great looking (and I'm sure great sounding) instrument!!

Here's hoping that they don't hit the pavement too soon--I'm still trying to think of a way to fund purchase of a 30th Anniv. SR that's available locally. If the 6 is out before I snag it, I will have more anxiety than I can handle.

 

[Bill]

Oh, man...the silver one.....

 

[dlloyd]

Yeah.

They're nice.

That's what the Bongo was designed for. They look perfect.

 

[midopa]

Be still my heart.

Great work EBMM team!

 

[kneeoh]

Oh man... those are too gorgeous! I guess I know which EBMM bass I'm picking up (searches desk for bank statements).

 

[EBMM7181]

I love the silver Bongo 6 , I'm a 4 string guy.... all those strings are intimidating!

 

[Rano Bass]

Oh my God, from draw prototypes to finished product in one tread
Only here boys, thank's for letting us be part of it.

If i ever get a six strings i know what it will be

I hope JM likes it. I'll be seeing them August 22nd. So far away.......

 

[Jason5150]

those are awesome - makes me wish I could do a 4 string justice let alone a 6 string!

 

[PocketGroove82]

This is wild. Many of the anti-bongo people on talkbass are going gaga over the bongo 6! I really can't understand why people see the shape with 6 strings and all of a sudden they change their minds. Meybe someone here can explain this phenomena!

 

[roburado]

Here they are, the very first painted and fully assembled Bongo6's!

I have to say, I'm very pleased how well everything went together.

Enjoy.

Jon, these are fantastic. I especially love this angled view of the Silver one. So many Balls, so little money, so little time to catch all the limited edition/anniversary ones.
