Bought a Bongo Today

[jefft54]

I can't believe I just bought a Bongo on the bay. Those ugly toilet seats I tried at GC on presidents day, those weird things with strings, I would never buy one of those. I must be out of my mind...with enthusiasm, of course.

Bought Eggman's SR5 a few weeks ago (my first EBMM) and now a Bongo. Whew, I think I'd better start selling a few of my other basses as I don't think they'll be getting much playing time.

Your Bongo's got a problem...There's one string missing..

 

[daangroen]

The 1st time you gig with your Bongo you'll sell everything else and buy another Bongo...... Great looking Bass.......

I am very close to pulling the trigger on a similiar Bongo 5er. My wife thinks I'm nuts! Maybe she's right?

Welcome aboard! Your EBMM collection is off to a nice start, congratulations!

Umm, we take offense at calling the Bongo an "ugly toilet seat." It's a pretty classy looking toilet seat.

I've had my Bongo for a couple of weeks. I haven't touched my other basses, even though they are MM's. I know I will, but for now the Stealth and I are getting to know one another.

You will love your new bass. Now you have been- BONGOED!

 

[kayneex]

the Bongo, a toilet seat???

..Well, I guess that's why other bass players, on hearing us, say " Ooooh SH..."

Naw. I've already got three 5's. And I don't know what the heck I'd do with 6 strings. I had played one of these at GC when I was looking for an SR5. Thought the sound was fantastic and was going to buy then but the guy in front of me bought it. Not quite sure though why the Bongo is so inexpensive used but I do love a bargain.

Was it the Sherman Oaks Guitar Center at the President's Day Sale?

Hi Jeff:

Since Koogie hasn't chimed in, I will use his trademarked phrase:

"Welcome to the Addiction"

Congrats on the start of your collection!

Yep, Sherman Oaks. It was a red 5-string. Good price too. You're not the guy who bought it are you?

 

[carpedebass]

I don't know about all this Bongo madness. I don't think they are all that! Someone send me a six string Bongo and I'll try it out. If I like it I'll keep it, deal?

Thanks Bill. Just what I need, another addiction. My wife's going to start an "intervention" if I don't start selling some of my stuff.
