I have joined the Bongo army

[MingusBASS]

2 days ago I payed off my brand new BONGO 5 with piezo HH in candy apple red. I am so happy wiht my purchase right now that I just had to get on here and tell you all that if you're thinking about getting a bongo ...just do it! It's been said before but you can get almost any sound out of this baby. I'll make sure to get some pics taken and then i'll post later. Now I just have to find a freak'n case that will fit this thing. I don't get how the most expensive bass ebmm makes has no hardshell case! If anyone can help please let me know.

Soon we shall rule them all, and eat their wives and sell their children for medical experiments! Mwahahah.....errrrr, I mean, hello there! Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new instrument purchase!

I am jealous of your candy apple red finish, but I suppose I will have to learn to deal.

As far as cases go, I am sad to report that so far, only G&G makes one, available from Bass Central, I believe. I have one and it is not what you would call A Good Case. In fact, I detest it, but the freaking Bongo 5s are too long to fit in a gig bag or anything else that I can find, so....what's a boy to do?

Someday, SOMEONE AT ERNIE BALL (hi jon, hi derek, hi brian, hi scott, hi sterling, hi leo no wait he's dead) will hear our voices, all lonely and forlorn, and give us a case for our Bongos.

I hope. Now get to work. We need photos!

But just THINK, Jon, what a humble landscaper and a....a....um, what am I now.....oh, an unpaid volunteer moderator, yeah, that's it!

Think of what we could do together!

the i suspect we'd mostly drink and tell lies but we don't have to let them know that do we

Dang you guys make owning a Bongo sound powerful good! If I wasn't so happy with my Ken Smith BT5G........

Gotta go take some Rolaids for the G.A.S.

Us owners know it to be true!
