...every loose object in the room vibrates like crazy! Sounds like I'm inside a snare drum. Bzzz...brrrr...

(Rubbing chin) Excellent! Exactly as predicted!

...I'm still trying to learn my way around the preamp...it'll take a while before I really have it dialed in just right.

Yeah, (initially) it takes some tweaking on both the bass side and on the amp side. But, once you get comfortable with the Bongo's control set-up, you can adjust on-the-fly during gigs to suit the moment.

I'm sure the same could be said about all EBMM axes, but this is a Bongo thread.

First practice was great, but now I've got a new problem.

Every loose object in the room vibrates like crazy! Sounds like I'm inside a snare drum. Bzzz...brrrr... .......... ........... ..........

Yeah, like no matter how much I turned it down for a dinner gig, I had to park the Bongo and play a plastic 'Berger while a customer with a hearing aid was in the dining room. There's just this dangerous Sonic Stuff emanating from a Bongo.

Sweet !!! and yes, the DG with Tort is one of the best combinations going.

...not sure, but has DG always shipped with Tort? Mine did a year and a bit ago (which I had requested)but I hadn't seen that combination before, only DG with some form of White Ice or Pearloid... not insinuatiing that I may have been up on the trend early on but.....

+1 there. If ugly was cheese, the 'white ice' PG on my orange HH5 would be Wisconsin.

I'd been [uh oh] thinking. I thought I'd want the other 'tortise shell' color, like you see in gui*ar picks, that brown-yellow-black mixture, to go on an orange Bongo, and I couldn't seem to find that color anywhere. Thanks to the pix in this thread, I know the red-black torty is perfect.

Actually, it does have a fair bit of yellow in it. The light highlights are a pale yellow.

I've seen redder, lighter tort than mine.
