good place to buy Bongo online ?

[Stingray5280]

HI i;m a long time lurker . i have a stingray5 trans teal /clear picguard Maple neck and a black /black maple sr4.I play through a GK 1001RBII and a music man 210HD ( great cab ) . I also have a Aguilar gs112 . Today I played a bongo for the first time , I plugged into the same head that i have , the GK 1001rb II .WOW I was loving the tone , Massive , very impressive , could dial in anything i wanted . I might even sell my g&l jb-2 and pick up a bongo 4hh . I didnt care for the one they had at guitar center , it was nice but well played , almost used . anyway I normally buy off of BassNW but they only have 1 stealth instock and i;m not to crazy about the all black hardware . I live in Boise so i was wondering if there are any other internet shops that have a nice selection of bongos ? I really like the graphite pearl and others .

I might sell the sr4 not sure , since i just put flats on it , i like it alot
I mostly play the sr5 . the sr4 neck is a little chunky for me . I should have went with a sterling maybe . Maybe one of each lol

thanks
Todd G.

BassCentral would be a good bet. Or the Dudepit (jack)

Welcome Todd, are you left handed? Cause I know a guy named Chuck that might sell you one of his....

Hey there, welcome to the forum. Digging the clear PG on your stingray. The others just said what I was going to say.

Cheers,

ping Jack (bovinehost) Ordered my third bongo from him.

also,

www.basscentral.com is good. Bought my first bongo from them. They did me right.

Vintage Bass Trading Co.

Another *ping* for Jack and Steve (Dude Barr)!

I've ordered two basses from them now, and they both have made my EBMM-buying experiences smooth as silk.

Thought that was the case, just wanted to get that lefty jab in anyway . If you PM Steve Barr or Jack Williams you can't go wrong.

They even make the wait seem short by keeping our attention elsewhere. The little devils!

Welcome aboard bro!

I have to echo the recommendation for the Dynamic Duo of Steve Barr and Jack Williams. Their service is the best on the 'net.

Although I don't think they have any Bongos in stock, they can order anything that you want.

They have telephone system setup just like Batman with the factory.

Dood you look like Elijah Wood. Frodoooo!

Nice bass!
Not that it looks like trans teal, mode like bright blue metallic, but web cams suck, right

Also, welcome and good luck with the Bongo.

My SR5 is a dark trans teal from what i understand , it doesnt look like the more green teal on the EBMM site . it is very close to what the pic shows

serial number is EO7001 , can anyone tell me ?

I bought it new about 9-10 years ago and it gets better every time i play it .
It;s like fine wine , lol

Welcome aboard. I feel the same way about my SR5 it is the easiest playing 5 string ever produced IMHO.

The Bongo plays good too. Good and loud

Graphite Pearl is a great color. Can't go wrong ordering one of those in Bongo form.
