Depressing

[oldbluebassman]

A very good friend of mine is a top UK pro bass player and is currently doing a lot of work in Germany for a former 1970s star who's made a huge comeback as a result of winning a celebrity reality TV show. He's doing a lot of TV and will be touring later in the year. He uses an SR5 and has done for years.

He's had a try of my Bongo and loves it however he's now been offered an endorsement by a well known German bass manufacturer for the tour and the TV shows, which he's going to have to take, but he'd rather have a Bongo. Catch 22, he can't buy a Bongo til he's done the tour. Isn't that depressing?

That's cool to hear. I guess that might be depressing but I'd love to be in his position. If the well known german bass manufacturer is who I think it is, he is in good hands. Different strokes for different folks, but those are great basses. I have been nothing but extremely happy with mine. The same can be said for my SR5, excellent bass for sure.

Actually you're absolutely right. Who wouldn't want to be in his position. Maybe he'll still get his Bongo eventually.
