If Bongos could speak......

[Big Poppa]

They would first off thank Jack Williams for covering its virtual back. Then a quick reach around to wish him a happy bday.

They might ask Adouglas about why he still wears parachute pants..

See if TKarter needs another beer.

They would ask all of the haters that call it ugly if they have a mirror in their bathroom...The Bongo would say, "You think Im ugly? Do you know what it is like being stapped to you for four hours?"

They would point out that they look good in an evening dress or jeans.

 

[Manfloozy]

Heck yeah!

Guys I just started the thread keep it going

All of this is v true.

When my Bongo first received a public airing one or two guitard enthusiasts - you know the type - they only really know two makes of guitar - asked me if I'd had it custom made, as in boutique bass, that's how good it is - they are all mightily impressed with the might of the Bongo and didn't previously know of Musicman beyond the Stingray. I love my Bongo

It would say - I'm a monster truck and sleek beauty all rolled into one.

Yes tkarter needs another beer. Bongos do speak BP. Mine say things like.
"We can do this with half the notes".
"See that guitar player that thinks he is great? Drink your beer and watch this".
"Them girls are looking at me not you".

Oh yes, Bongos could speak, ...there's one nice Blue Pearl Bongo HSp at my local dealer, ...every time I drop in the store, I hear voice: "Buy me, Buy me..."!

 

[Manfloozy]

Bongo: "The Perfect Tone is not something that should be merely found. It should be located, captured, reverse engineered, genetically enhanced, put through a rigorous 3 month training program, and then and only then be unleashed upon the world."

They Say to Country Guys:

"are you really going to wear that Belt Buckle on the gig tonight...I'm mean hell, they're looking at ME not at the buckle."

 

[five7]

Mine called and said the vacaction is going great.

 

[strummer]

The Bongo looks upon a P as a BMW x6 looks upon an A Ford. They both get you where you're going, but...

 

[ivbenaplayin]

My Bongo DD II would say, "if you love me so much, why did you dress up like a tampon for halloween and leave me in my case! I hate my stingray brother..." then I'd have to promise him he could have the next gig...

 

[Movielife]

Currently, the Bongo God is telling me this:

'Buy me and stop this constant GAS for a Bongo...although I cannot guarantee you will not want another!'

 

[syciprider]

Bongo is da debil. It makes you see your other basses as inadequate.

 

[DTG]

They might ask not to be strapped to koogs !
A bongo 5 HH will be mine someday soon just need it to be a bit of mad colour

I must also agree about Jacks promotion of the Bongo as I witnessed it first hand over at the old Dude Pit. It was the DOG bass picked on by most. Mainly because of it's unusual design.

But Jack stood behind them and kept saying how great they sounded. As people tried them he won them over. It made some very lively conversation for a few years.

He also had a hand in my first MM bass (a 30th fretless) that I purchased threw the Pit.

At that time he seemed to own more Stingrays and talked about how great they were. P bass on steroids was the way he put it I believe.

And even though I prefer the Stingray over the Bongo, thanks Jack for turning me on to Music man basses.

If Bongos could speak.......

They'd bow in respect to their brothers Stingray and Sterling. Always knowing big brothers paved the way (and could still kick their arse).

Amen to that!!! I did play a Bongo on my last gig and it was a nice bass. Those 2 humbuckers really did kicked arse. I Still like the look and feel of my Stingray though. I would like to A-B a two humbucker Ray against my buddies HH bongo.

 

[RobertB]

Ironically, despite the hugeness of their tone, I kinda think they'd have that quiet, confident humility that dispenses with the need to slam other, less capable and spectacularly endowed basses.

They would first off thank Jack Williams for covering its virtual back. Then a quick reach around to wish him a happy bday.

And I would thank the Bongo right back as I think - even without the reach-around - that it's given me way more than I've ever given it. Unless ugly pickguards count.

And then I'd say, "Thank you, Sterling, for the Bongo and the birthday wishes." And everything else. It's a long list, I won't get into it here.

They might ask Adouglas about why he still wears parachute pants.

I believe he's trying out for the role of an 80s bassist, although Kevin Bacon has an eye on it, too.

See if TKarter needs another beer.

Has there ever not been that time?

They would point out that they look good in an evening dress or jeans.

Well, maybe not a blue evening dress, but still.
