Countdown to Bongo...

[HeavyDuty]

Woohoo! A Bongo's coming to live with my Sterling and SR5! A well-traveled single H 5er... something that I've been seeking for a long time. I'm easily confused by shiny objects and multiple pickups.

The waiting is agony...

 

[Joshua]

Sweet!

Congrats!

 

[TSanders]

Could that be the Desert Gold Single H Bongo, that I was the first owner of??

If it is, thats a sweet bass, and youll have lots of fun with it.

 

[HeavyDuty]

I think it's the only single H 5 that travels in our circles, Travis... hopefully this will be its "forever home".

 

[TSanders]

Well Congrats Ken. I know youve been GASing for a Single H for a while, so Im glad youve snagged this one. Its a great bass, and no pic ever taken does justice to how sweet the Desert Gold/Tort combo is.

The low B on that bass is thunderous. Not sure if thats a word, but it is now.

Be sure to let us know what you think when you get it.

Obsessively checking the package tracking site every hour or so...

 

[bovinehost]

Oh, you're getting a bass?

If that was a picture of a lefty I'd have to change my underwear!

Look! A naM cisuM!

Per tracking, the box arrived at work earlier. I'm going to go pick it up now - I've been working at home today.

wOOt!

Look! A naM cisuM!

A namcisum, sounds like a removal of a body part or an object from a body.

 

[HeavyDuty]

Hot damn! This thing is NICE!

IMO, distinctively different than my Sterling and/or SR5. More... PBassy?

Kenny likes!

 

[bovinehost]

Definitely not as....easygoing as the SR5.

More likely to hit on underage girls, I'd say.

Glad you like it. I copied Jon on my last email to you about the headstock.

BP was right on target with his comment about the single hum Bongo being a heck of a Rock and Roll bass! It's classic rock heaven though my WT-550 and pair of Bag 15s.

Desert gold with tort --- might be my favorite bongo scheme.
verrryyyy nice.

So... more bottom than SR5? As much growl?

First impressions are yes and yes, but be warned - I suck at expressing tone in words.

Major props to the EBMM team on these Bongos! Now if you'd just make a natural Ash bodied limited edition...

I feel I know this bass.
