Ok, so playing a Bongo still provokes some people, and occasionally someone makes a dreogatory remark towards my Bongo.
Now, I want to find the perfect comeback, as all I can come up with myself (when facing a Bongo-basher) is some rude remark about their mother.

If I wouldn't mind lying I'd probably go: "Yeah, but Steve Dude Barr licked it!"

You must have it really bad across the pond.

Do the townspeople come to your home in the middle of the night with pitchforks and torches and call out to you?

"Face us you filthy toilet seat player"
"Come out and fight, you vile, sick, supporter of the Bongo"

I don't know about a comeback but here's the best trash I've taken about my Bongo so far.

Friend - "That must be a REALLY good bass"

Me - "if I won the lotto I'd still play it"

Friend - "Because I find with basses the uglier they are the better they are... that one must be something else!"

Me - "grumble grumble.... ya well your Mother... "


*hehehe K so I added the mother part in there..

Maybe lame, but something along the lines of "Well, obviously you have looked in a mirror, so that would make you an expert on ugly . . . . . "

???? Lame ????

"F**k you and the horse you rode in on" always works too . . .

You may use that anytime you wish. Just wait until I get mine and pose with it Joe Nerve style and plaster the net with that image.

Forumites, this problem has been solved long ago:

"I used to play bass, now I play a Bongo"



Alternately, you could laugh out loud and say, "yeah.. I remember when I had MY first bass..."

I was aware of the Bongo bashers before I ordered mind and while patently waiting I’ve been preparing for the inevitable.

Comment: “Gosh that thing is ugly!”
Reply: “Yeah, well so was your mother till I shaved her back.”

Comment: “That thing looks like a toilet seat.”
Reply: You’re not going to pee on it are you? I’ve heard short barrels aren’t very accurate.”

Comment: “Why do they call it Bongo?”
Reply: “Bongo is short for, Bass Of Nude Girls and Orgies, I wouldn’t expect YOU to get it, but I’ll say hello to your momma at the next one…”


I have plenty more; I’m officially ready for a Bongo!

I think Jack was the best at that. His talkbass moments had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe.

I don't think I could top: "My Bongo has chuncks of You In its Stool"(from TB)

So no need to defend the Bongo for me, I simply don't care if they like it or not.
It sounds great.

Ahh, I remember the origin of that line... SNL.. Frank Sinatra (played by Phil Hartman) said to Billy Idol (played by guest host, Sting):

"You don't scare me, I got chunks of guys like you in my STOOL!"

Listen to it.
(over and over)

That's right! I didn't even have to open the link to recall that line! :D
