Bongo Pictures Only!

[Bob Loblaw]

I recently showed my Bongo to a friend of mine. As he was checking it out he said "I love the neck. I like how it's painted but it's not glossy, it's really smooth. I wonder why more companies don't do that." It made me so proud.

Dunno how long you've had yours or how much you play it, but the back of my Bongo's neck (17 months old) has worn smooth and shiny. I've considered re-satinizing it with some steel wool, but I don't mind the smoothness so I figured I'd just leave it alone.

I just got mine in December and it's starting to shine at the top of the neck. I don't mind it either. I think it plays great either way.

haha great pics, Bob! I like how the fire is burning behind the Bongo... makes it look even cooler.

Can we get this thread going again?

Bongo......

 

[Leftybassist]

Seems like a lot of bongo owners have nice architecture and landscaping too. Good taste in form.

Does this look accurate for carbon blue pearl?....

 

[adouglas]

I'd say yes.

Wait, I just did.

Here's the best pic I have of my carbon blue pearl Bongo, along with a couple other Bongos that have passed by...

My very first Bongo, a Graphite Pearl fiver.

I ordered a carbon blue HH bongo w/ black pg back in December and I've been counting the hours ever since and worrying about my choice of color. Apparently I have another 3 or 4 weeks to wait too. But if it looks anything like your (Tom F) carbon blue bongo I will be the happiest I've ever been.

The day I got Aggie. No pics since as I don't stand still long enough to get one while playing my favorite bass ever.

Booya! Yeah, it is a real lefty. If that were a fiver I would have probably lost all my prejudices against Bongos (and the color green) and get it, but since I don't have room for another 4-string in my life, is still sitting there at the store.

 

[Leftybassist]

Oh SNAP!!! Nice!

 

[Tom F]

A little more torture for you, Leftybassist...

 

[Leftybassist]

UNCLE!!!!!!
