bonog sales question

[jubjub721]

do any of you know how the bongo is selling?
do any of you think it will die like sabre did?

iam wondering because if its not selling well i will be sad
if it will die in the near future i will not be able to get one

if it sticks around for a couple mo years then i might be able to snag one
if not ill be a bongo virgin

One of the company guys might answer your question with accurate information, but from what I've heard, you don't have any reason to be worried just yet.

They can't build them fast enough is what I heard.

 

[jubjub721]

do you know if in a ocuple of years it will include hardshell

The Bongo just got an Innovation Award overseas. So I would be willing to bet MM will keep building them for some time. I think if enough people complain about it, they will eventually throw in at least a gig bag. Whatever that's worth.

didnt sombody say they got a cheap hardshell and it fit good in it

if so whats the brand

Not cheap ($129) but it works well for mine. Made by G&G Vintage cases. It's the same one Bov has.

I believe the four Bongers can fit into any hardshell case without a problem. The problem arises with five Bongers - they're just too big.

 

[jubjub721]

bonger?

when did we get this lingo

 

[midopa]

I can make up lingo and new words whenever I want. Gujkt phwee! I'm so cool.

 

[spectorbassguy]

Gujkt phwee! I'm so cool.

Gujkt phwee! Did you say Gujkt phwee? Like that's yours!?! Calymrt ypr slenig!

 

[midopa]

Slenig?! Rhoohmmimimimmmm!

I think we're starting to sound like those Star Trek junkies.

 

[jubjub721]

I found out that with a tiny bit of reshaping (and I mean just a tiny bit around the upper horn) the 4 string Bongos fir great into a MM StingRay Case - that is where my green Bonger now resides

What did you use to touch up the green after you cut it down?

The Bongo's horn is just too big for modern day conveniences.

If you are going to set me up like that... don't make it that easy

Nothing like a big, horny green bonger... wait, did I just say that in a bass forum... ewwwwwwwww!

If it doesn't get in the way of my beer can, it's not too big.
