FS: Bongo HS (UK)

I'm almost certain that my final choice of Bongo as number one bass is going to be the HS, so I'm considering selling my black HH 4 string and the HS 5 string.

£575 inc bashed up hard case

£750 inc. MM case



I'm not man enough for a Bongo H apparently ;) , and I'm looking for consistency of sound, so I'm looking to get a second HS for backup (though I've never had a single problem gigging any of the Bongos I've owned) and I'm clearing out all the basses I'm not going to gig.

4HS is the sound I want, so I'll also be gassing for a 4HS lined fretless w/piezo.

Paul, if you have a major clear out like that I could see you adding some more to the thread about basses that are now sadly missed:

I like the look of the black 4HH though :D

I'm happy with my 4H so will have to pass this time ;)

Anyone interested in Paul's Bongos - I bought my 4H from him a few weeks back and certainly vouch for him. Great to deal with, delivered as described no problem at all.

I'm selling off 13 basses in total, the decision to consider selling the Bongos has been a tough one, but I "think" I know what I'm doing..

Once BP knows you are a grandpa you will never get credit for knowing what you are doing around here. :D

I seriously like your HS 5.

Good luck with the sale Paul.

+1 to the good luck with the sale...

That 4 banger is going for such a good price! However I'm gassing for a Bongo H/HP... otherwise I'd probably be in trouble!

Don't fancy loaning me one before you sell them do ya? ;) :D

Hope you don't have to put them on eBay!

Looks like the black HH is sold :)

I shall be looking for an HS as a backup to the Egyptian Smoke HS - every bass I've owned since that has always come up short at some point for me, including the H and HH Bongos. Once I realised that I was trying to get every bass to sound as good to my ear as the HS, it made no sense to keep the others just for show.

Paul good luck with the sale. I would be interested but just about to have my first babe (today was the due date....nothing yet mind) so could not justify it.
Also decided to trade my bongo5HS and go back to SR4 (in the HS and honeyburst) - pics at some point soon.

Hope you get find good homes for them....:)
