Help me choose a Bongo color!

[b-unit]

I agree, the Bongo seems to look the best to me in brighter, louder colors. I guess thats why all the variations of orange and gold are so popular. I would love to see a cream color come available again at some point as the 2005 Buttercream Bongos look fantastic.

I thought for sure I was going to go for Olive Gold but I am starting to think thet True Gold is going to be the winner. Still not sure if Torte or Vintage White Pearl would suit that color best.

My Black Bongo looks so awesome on stage.

Have you tried to look at the pickguard as an extension of the neck? Colourwise, that is ...

 

[RocketRalf]

I say Ice Blue. But get what your heart tells you!

Out of the three I would pick True Gold with White Pearl pickguard. I am weird in that I don't like the tort guard on anything other than white or natural.

Well thanks everyone! I went in today and laid my money down! I am so excited to have finally made a decision and will be eagerly awaiting my new arrival. So what was the final verdict?

A lefty version of this:

The Perfect Bass - bass guitars, amps and accessories for every player!

I was completely won over by this combo. True Gold and Torte! I can't wait.

Very nice choice - IMO, you couldn't go wrong with any of your options.
Now it begins...
.... at least you have those photos to keep you company!
Congratulations

 

[b-unit]

Thanks. Any idea how long it usually takes?

 

[fogman]

awesome choice!

then again, you can't go wrong with any of them

Thanks. Any idea how long it usually takes?

It depends - in the current economy, I wouldn't be shocked if there are instruments in need of a home but you need a lefty so that will probably be a few months.

How about Orange Firemist?

The Perfect Bass has it in stock on special because it already has thr normal Bongo headstock ding. JOSH

Olive gold is incredible when the sunshine hits it, sparkley like an old school 70's dune buggy!
I'm a sucker for the Desert Gold, but I've never seen firemist in person,

if it's one of their new candy-apple/sparkle colors,like True Gold and Olive-Gold..
then it probably rocks..

A few months ain't a long time to wait for a great bass. I've waited a few times but you forget all about that once the big brown box comes. Congrats!

This one sure was worth it!

mmmmmm Buttercream!

I called EB customer service yesterday just to make sure that my order was received and everything is correct. My wife thought I was being paranoid but I wanted to be sure that the retailer ordered the bass as specified. i would hate to have it arrive and be right handed or some crazy thing.

Customer service was fantastic as usual. They confirmed every aspect of my order and advised me that i should have my bass in approximately 2 months!!! Thats fantastic! i was thinking it would be a lot longer. Now I am really droolin! can't wait to be a Bongoloid!
