Got The Fever

[Bobe]

Just couldn't have one

finally sold some basses on Ebay and the Perfect Bass was ready to help me with my new addiction.

Here are 2 quick photos of the twins. I am not a photographer so these aren't anything great. The Silver is the new one. Fresh off of the Fed Ex Truck. Setup like a dream and ready to play.

Now all someone has to tell me is that they have a 6 string fretless and the buying fever will be back.

WOW!!!

Those are BEAUTIFUL!

How 'bout a "5" string fretless?

 

[Bobe]

Man that is a beautiful bass but I need fret lines.

Why?

Seriously, sorry for the hijack, but can you actually see those lines when you play live in a stage situation? I mean, you won't even notice the LACK of those lines, and plus don't it look AMAZING?

 

[Sterling_Bass]

You must be one happy man. Two killer 6 string Bongos in one house! Do you prefer one bass over the other at all?

 

[jlepre]

BTW:

That SILVER one is KILLER!

 

[Sterling_Bass]

The silver sure is nice. What is the true color of the blue Bongo? Does it vary depending on lighting as shown in the photos? I love it.

 

[Bobe]

as I am colorblind

the blue does change with the light, it is a medium blue. Really nice. The silver has a look like a sports car. Really surprised. I was always a wood grain man but these basses are so nice to play and the paint jobs are top notch I don't notice anymore.

as for which one I like better, not sure, the silver is too new. maybe after this weekend or practice tonight I will have a favorite.

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

That blue looks like Blue Pearl. Both are very nice!

I only use lined fretless Thanks for the support

 

[RobertB]

U got enough strings for 3 basses there, Bobe! Very nice, congrats.

Beautiful basses.

I don't think I'd be able to play a unlined fretless...

But on the other hand, wasn't Jaco's fretless technically a lined fretless?

Yes. After digging the frets out with a table knife, he filled the grooves with wood putty, which created lines/markers.

Those are two beautiful basses - I love that Blue Perl, more than the silver I think

I have a suggestion: how about getting an order in for a Dargie 2 6er fretless with an ebony board?

Dreaming, I'm dreaming...

 

[AtomicPunk]

Man, talk about feeding my GAS for a Silver Bongo! Wow. Those are purdy!!
Congrats!

 

[MingusBASS]

Love the Bongo 6.

I also like having lines on my fretless. I CAN see them on stage.

 

[patobrujo]

[MrMusashi]
