My new Bongo is so awesome, I've decided to replace my usual gigging 4-string bass. I originally wanted a stingray, but with more versatility. And something that looks a little more traditional than a Bongo.

I have decided on this. It will be ordered before the summer's out, hopefully.

My thoughts EXACTLY!

But who cares, the BA is a great bass and that's probably my favorite color scheme for it. Nice choice!

No roasted maple?

I thought a lot about the roasted maple... I really did! But I'm not a fan of black basses, and I was hoping to keep the costs down a bit where I already have a limited run bass.

If I come into some more gigs before the month is out I may reconsider!

Also - I don't consider the Big Al traditional at all, which is why I love it! But compared to a Bongo, it does look a bit more so. Non-pointy headstock, sunburst finish, maple fingerboard... might be able to do a couple of Johnny Cash dinner theater shows with this one.

Totally agreed. If you want to "tame" the look of the BA, the SB finish is definitely the way to go.
