Five Years

[bovinehost]

I've been playing this bass again this week in the studio and remembering why it so quickly became The One lo those many years ago.

Thank you, Sterling, for the concept of the Bongo. I love my other non-Bongos, but the Bongos are still what fits me best. And this one fits the best of all of them. And thank you, Scott Ball, for building this one - and the nifty pickguard that I never would have thought of on my own.

Bongos! I like those things.

Sweet bass Jack....I need get myself a Bongo of the 5 string variety someday.

 

[J Romano]

Is that PG still available????

 

[keko]

Nice one!

I'm seriously considering one single H 5 banger Bongo with piezo and like this color, only I'd go maybe for white pearloid PG!

 

[maddog]

How come it has so many strings?

Killer bass with some killer history:

Heh!

It does kind of look like you are, but I think it was just lounging on the amp.

I loves my red Bongo.

 

[Psycho Ward]

I have a red Bongo too (Jewel), the only bass my Momma ever liked!

And that bass is every bit as cool as Jack's!

 

[Holdsg]

As in, Jewel?

 

[bovinehost]

Jewel was Chuck's momma's name.

 

[Big Poppa]

I love both of those basses1

 

[bovinehost]

Is that PG still available????

Not that exact one, no. I think I have to keep it.

It's abalone and I suppose you could check the instrument pages to see if it's still being made.

This Jewel,

She now sports an abalone guard like Jacks, because I want to be like Jack!

 

[mmbassplayer]

Keko... not to get to far off topic but i think you should really consider a Single H Bongo without a piezo. The 3 band eq works quite well with it. JOSH

Chuck--Pearl was the main inspiration for The Billy Bass.

I remember you getting that puppy. What a beaut she is!

 

[Big Poppa]

Stank is that really you?
