I love me Bongo HS cuz...
Everything that matters to me about tone and feel as a bass player...is in this bass...and that's just using the blend knob. Really..

I like my Bongo because it makes a great Halloween costume.

Well worth the wait. I like your choice in basses, Powman; Sterling and Bongo! Read my signature.

I know. I really think this is the absolute best combination of 2 basses. No disrespect to the Sting Ray boys, 'cause the Sting Ray is such an iconic bass. But to me the Sterling has an even more aggressive sound and really really rocks. Then a Bongo has such a deep tone and can be as smooth as a Barry White song. What a combo!

Stages of Bongoholism
- Inability to get past the looks, coupled with old toilet seat jokes and derision of geeky Bongoloids.
- Sneaking interest generated by glowing reports.
- Questions about whether a Bongo should be purchased.
- Statements of undying devotion to current basses.
- Purchase.
- Flabbergastedness.
- Notation of reactions by bandmates, significant others, and audiences.
- Continued, increasingly strident statements of undying devotion to current basses.
- A few months of silence.
- Realization that current basses just don't get played much any more.....

After seeing the green one Dave LaRue had - I went to the EBMM site to see what color. It was not offered and I saw that the replacements for the Desert Gold (Fire something I think) are also gone. And the light blue.
How often do the colors change?

Right.
So far there doesn't seem to be any recovery possible from Bongoholism. The few confused souls who have abandoned theirs were probably not Bongoholics in the first place.

I fear you are talking about me. What can I do to avoid trading in my Bongo on a 25th?

When the boss decides it's time to change.
The current palette is, sadly, smaller than it was not long ago, and overall more muted. Sign of the times, I think... the colors that aren't selling get axed.
However, there are still some drop-dead gorgeous colors available for the Bongo. Candy Red is fantastic, for example.
I thank my lucky stars I got a Desert Gold bass while they were still available.
la Rue's green bass, by the way, is an original Dargie Delight... not a regular production color.

The reason I love my BONGO is that it was a thinly veiled excuse for my husband to buy another bass. Of course, that means that I can "play" it whenever I want. Realize, however, that I can barely hold one string down without extreme effort.
