Got my new pickguard for the Bongo 4H

[Motojunkie]

As the title states, I got my new pickguard, and was wondering what you folks think. It's a little more red than the site showed it, but it looks pretty good. I'm still trying to figure out whether I'll keep it on there.

Here's #1 -

White perloid

Here's #2 -

Orange swirl

I'm going to think about that a while.

It's certainly....striking.

Like it, I think... hard to tell with that lighting (I might be a bit much)? I would love to see a shot in natural light. I guess the question is... what do you think???

 

[Dr Stankface]

I like the white pearl.

It's a 4 string so it still looks funny.

P.S. You have the same rack case and 212 I do.

 

[Dr Stankface]

Just noticed. Is that HD-500 and RBH115 your practice rig??

I'll try to get a shot in the sun tomorrow, Mr Sun already went to sleep by the time I took the pics.

I'm not sure if I like it....I think it would rock on Lava Pearl....the only problem is that my Lava Pearl Bongo is a HH.

I have the same amp too.

I don't know if I'd call the HD-500 a practice amp, but that's the amp that I play at home most of the time. I also have a GK 200MB and an Eden Nemesis head that I run into an Ampeg 4x10. I use my GK 100RBII into the Neo 2x12 for my band - I'll throw the RBH 115 under it sometimes too....depends on how my back is feeling.

Funny thing is that the HD-500 gets more use than all of them. Sounds great through the RBH 115....I'd love to get my hands on the Audiophile cabinets to try with it.

 

[Dr Stankface]

I know those RBH cabs will move some air!

I wouldn't mind having a RBH410 but my GAWID those things are heavy. 97 lbs. I bleeb.

It probably would rock on a Lava. The DG might be able to carry it (mine goes pretty red is some lighting) but as it stands it might be just enough off that it doesn't work - need more time and picts to make up my mind though (it might be like when I put an abalone pg on kermit, it kind of worked and grew on me, but in the end, the original pg won out).

 

[RitchieDarling]

Wow!

That's new and different! I like it! It gives the Bongo a totally different appeal.

I say, keep both and change them to suit your mood.

Now, there's an idea from the 70's! Mood pickguards!

[Motojunkie]

I guess I should have included an option for nekkid....or should I call this "goldfish"?

 

[shamus63]

There's something oddly appealing about that Orange Swirl...kind of a "Dante's Inferno" affect.

 

[maddog]

I dig the orange. Complements instead of contrasts. But I'm weird.

 

[Aussie Mark]

I don't mind the orange, but I'd like to see tort (brown, not red) on that one.

 

[philthygeezer]

I really like that orange swirl pg!

 

[Oldtoe]

I'm with Mark on this one. Tort and DG were made for each other.

 

[TSanders]

I don't mind the orange, but I'd like to see tort (brown, not red) on that one.

Mark votes tort? I think that caught us all by surprise.

 

[Motojunkie]

LMAO

 

[RockinRayDuke]

I kind of like that orange. If you decide to off it let me know. Like Mark, I think a nice brown tort would look nice as well.
