If Bongos could speak......

[adouglas]

My Bongo doesn't speak. It does emit evil, self-satisfied chuckles from time to time, though.

The parachute pants got retired a while back. I'm into animal prints now.....

 

[Big Poppa]

good one AD!

Mine did say something very loud once. I was thinking of taking a sharpie to the nicks on it and it yelled "DON"T Think about it". If I remember correctly it had to say it twice.

If my Bongo could speak, it would take the credit for my playing sounding good. It would also tell me about the time it beat Chuck Norris in a fight...

 

[Duarte]

The Bongo has a limited vocabulary.

1 "F*** YOU!"

2 "I'm terribly sorry ...friends?"

 

[projectapollo]

Mine would yell at me for always selling them and wonder why I have such a commitment problem. I would reply that the little Bongo factory has special one in gestation for me. And please little Bongos, I have tried to buy two of you back with no luck. You probably wouldnt play for me even if I did get you back.

 

[Nasty_Hitman]

If may Bongo could speak ,he would ask me to stop wearing black shirts and dark pants on stage . With some brighter clothing his stealth black beauty would stand out way better.

 

[projectapollo]

The smalleq fretless would wonder why we treat her like a cheap hooker and keep passing her around.

 

[tkarter]

I literally have to keep Bongo 6 in a different room than I do Aggie. They get in the same room they start arguing and it escalates to the point they agree to take it out on me for having both.

iF BONGOS' COULD SPEAK....

They would...

HEY WADEAMINNIT!

They can speak! And they DO!

They say:

"Hear Me, Oh, Mortal BassPlayer, let the waves of my 18-volt preamp (Coupled preferably to the HH configuration; remember...the BLEND Control...)
come forth to RULE the low-end and BE the fundamental that is the connecting pin between pure Rhythm and Melody, the Anchor, the Bridge, the Leader...
HEAR ME SPEAK!"

In so many words.

I had a guitarist buddy come over the other night. First time he'd seen my Bongo. His initial comment was, "God that's ugly!!"

I plugged it in and his jaw dropped. We played some rock, jazz, blues and country and it killed on all of them.

It's funny, most musos think they are ugly, yet those (specifically female members) in the crowd don't bat an eyelid at it. I get comments all the time about how good it looks, how sexy it is, etc, etc. In fact, most of the time I see people looking at me when I play, I am sure they are just looking at it....in awe....like I do.

I even had the pleasure of someone else playing it (or they had the pleasure) and standing in the crowd listening to it for the first time. Oh baby!! I feel even more in love with it to the point of again considering off loading my 94 SR5.

Bongos speak to anyone that isn't jealous. The P bass guys can't hear any way no need for a Bongo to try and tell them anything. LOL.

[Holdsg]

They don't have to talk, they just perpetually hang out with the cool people, while all the F####r people just kind of walk around, staring at the floor, mumbling to themselves.

One of my Bongos chatted up a lovely lady at my last gig. Since my Bongo is not married yet, that was ok. Neither of mine have ever done drugs, but they've been splashed with whiskey a time or two at the Irish pub gigs. They've seen some strange places and witnessed some rather odd happenings that we'll talk about as we get older. They will say things like "remember when you used to use roundwounds" and we'll laugh together as I splash more whiskey on them...

If Bongos could speak they would quote Dudley Gimpel, who wrote this on the back of his business card one evening:

Mine say "Merry Christmas".

 

[T-bone]

I have waited years for you to bring that one out again.

Right on Chuck!!!

[Psycho Ward]

It is close to the season... close enough, right?

 

[tkarter]

Those bongos turned your headlights on pretty bright Chuck.
They must be doing a little more than speaking to you.
