I got the blues........

[Randracula]

....................Carbon Blue Pearl Bongo Blues that is.This beauty showed up at my doorstep yesterday


Too bad I already had had it traded before it got here I had no idea how much I was going to like this bass.I know the general consensus around here is that Single H Bongos rule but after trying both I definitely prefer the HH .The 4 -band EQ and blend knob can get some amazing tones that i've never heard out any of my other EBMM basses.I wasn't sure about the color either but this has to be one of the best solid colors EBMM makes,it's beautiful! I definitely see another Bongo in my future.I wish this was staying but I have something very nice(and an HH) coming in it's place.I also treated myself(courtesy of Pay Pal Buyer Credit)to an early Christmas present that should be arriving tommorrow.

Sweet bass.....

However, mine will die with me.....I only sold one EBMM instrument (JP7) and it was like parting with a child...won't happen again.

His recent accident could be the cause of this. Who knows what he will be saying when he is fully recovered.

...and here I was so happy that someone actually liked the dual pup bongos better

Ah well, some day I might find a single PU Bongo 5 to try, but until the Randys word stands

It's funny I've sold other brands and it didn't bother me. But I can relate to Koogie 100%
