Calling Lord Bongo, the Bovinehost

[Psycho Ward]

I would like your help in choosing my first (lefty) Bongo. I've got a thread going here http://www.ernieball.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7520

All I'm certain of is I want a glossy black one, and most likely a 5 string. It's the pickups that I'm trying to decide on.

Thanks for any help,

Chuck

Chuck:

How can you go wrong?

You really can't. But after playing and/or owning all the combinations (minus the piezos - bassmonkee's the expert on those), I still say my favorite is my first - the dual humbucker configuration.

There is nothing this bass won't do.

It's the Swiss Army Bass. It slices, it dices, it makes julienne fries, now how much would you pay?

Just do what Jack did... get one of each

Hey Oddjob

You still digging the single pup config.

Thinking about getting a second bongo, a 5'er, but unsure of the pup config. I'm looking for something a little less clean than me SH. Maybe the HH is in my future but that damn single H is so elegant in its simplicity.

The single H is extremely good in a rock and roll setting and really nice in its point and shoot simplicity.

I may not be getting enough use out of mine to justify keeping it....I have to think about it a while longer, though.

Jack, is your H a four or a five? Bongo Lust has been resurfacing...

My single hummer is a fiver:

Gawd, that's beautiful! Call me if you decide to part company, hokay?

I'm hyperventilating...

 

[bovinehost]

Will do, Ken.

Strangely, this bass makes me feel thirsty.

Heh--I was actually working on a scheme to get Bovine to sell it to me, but I'd rather you take it. That will force me to do what I really need to do, which is get a new bass head.

It certainly is a stunning instrument, isn't it?
