Dudes, I was flipping by Much Music (Canada's MTV) last night and they had Hillary Duff live @ the studio ..... the only reason I watched was to see the gear her band was playing and sure enough her bassist was playing a gorgeous black dual humbucker Bongo 5!!!


the invasion has begun!:p

pop princesses today.... rock gods tomorrow!!!!!!
 
Hahaha... Bongo Spotting! Could be a new sport! Bongo spotting in the Olympics! :p
 
Guess who set that Bongo up?? I also did an Axis Super Sport for her band as well.:D



Your Honor, She looked well over 18...:eek:
 
I saw a David Bowe concert video recently and the gal that he had playing bass for him had a Bongo-5....Egyptian Smoke I believe w/ black ice PG.

They're here............

Mine was supposed to have arrived 2 days ago..... no call from GC yet.
 
That's Gail Ann Dorsey with Bowie. She's good, ain't she?

She also has a mighty fine Stingray called Marilyn...which has inspired me to order a clear pickguard.
 
Yes we have been getting the Bongos in the Hands of some good folks.

Hillary Duff's Bass Player's name is Kayle Truman

He has a Lava Pearl and Black Bongo.

Look out For :

Ira Dean (bassist w/Trick Pony)
Benj Gershman(bassist w/O.A.R)
Johnny Sprague(Earshot)
Aaron Julison(Kid Rock)

and Pino Palladino!(The WHO) is reportedly playing his bongo and will not touch anything else. ( He must of called Jack and asked which bass would be good for the Who's upcoming tour.)

Well, I didn't want to drop names.

PS to Derek: Bongo number three is being ordered this week. Jon's going to put a gear shift and some rat fink stickers on it for me, he says.
 
Yeah i have heard that the mighty pino was playing a Bongo. I am actually seeing The WHO tonight courtesy of Simon Townshend supplying me and 2 mates with free guestlist tickets for thier gig at The Forum, London.How very nice of him! Yeah we are certainly looking forward to it and i will be looking out for a Bongo and will post what he was playing on here tommorow, actually coming to think of it i will be hearing the growl from well outside the venue.....hehe. Sorry for the little bragging session...just thought id tell ya'll.

ya, ya, rub it in why don't you.... Mr. "I got on the Whos' guest list" .... La Di da... :D
That's awesome, and yes, I jest. I would be telling my friends 5 times over if I got a hook-up to a gig like that! How was the band sounding? Still got some fire in the belly?
 
Brad,

I heard Pino doesn't change basses the whole night. Can you confirm?

Thanks

Derek
 
Yes Yes and Yes, they rocked all nite long! The fire was well and truly there!

Yes Derek, Pino was using the Bongo all nite and from what i could see did not change at all. He is a great bassist, they were all faultless in fact.definately the best gig iv been to. The reason i was on the guest list was due to Simon Tonshend being a member at the same golf club as me and kindly invited me and two of my mates along. Top Man!
 
Thanks Brad for the update. Sounds like you have a good hook up over there.

Thanks

Derek
 
Hey Brad, I hear they also had a special delivery Bongo bass over at the Buck House. Apparently a bloke named Chazzer said his mum would pay for it if they left it at the door... :p

my best attempt at British wit...........
 
hmm i think i will get a bongo
i also think i am to lazy to get a job though
maybe i could mooooch 1500 from my sister
