This is a test and only a test of the “Bongo Arrival Sensation System” or “B.A.S.S.” In the event of an actual Bongo arrival forum members will be notified immediately. Pictures will soon follow the initial announcement.
Thanks for your attention, we now return you to the forum already in progress.
 
Just for that, I won't be acknowledging the true arrival of the lefty Bongo.

Until then, I ask you brush up on your classics.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

A shepherd-boy, who watched a flock of sheep near a village, brought out the villagers three or four times by crying out, "Wolf! Wolf!" and when his neighbors came to help him, laughed at them for their pains.

The Wolf, however, did truly come at last. The Shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror: "Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is killing the sheep"; but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance. The Wolf, having no cause of fear, at his leisure lacerated or destroyed the whole flock.

There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

:p
 
I guess we have to keep one eye on the sig then .. Pretty damn certain it's the first thing to get changed once it really DOEs arrive :)

Great minds think alike. I was all ready to make a similar reference, but you beat me to it, so I'll have to simply add my +1.
 
It will be really funny when Chuck's bongo shows up and it is simply a righty strung up as a lefty.

And even when it does show up, I'm going to insist that it is a righty that Chuck bought out of shear frustration then photoshop-ed to get the mirror image and is pretending he has a lefty.
















Just joshin' but I did get all excited only to be dashed on the rocks. :o :D
 
I'm sorry, this thread ain't as much fun as I thought it would be, sort of depressing really. :(

I do pretty good at times and forget I even have one on order. But this morning I was looking at the Ampeg "fridge" and I already have a guitar stand set up for the coming Bongo, I got a little excited.... sorry about that.


And to think I'm getting ready to order another bass with a long wait time, maybe a year! :eek:

If WWIII ever broke out and the only way to deter the resulting radioactive brain-eating zombies is via the proper application of low frequencies, I would feel pretty safe in your neighborhood.

Atleast, until the power goes out.

You silly sod! You got us all worked up!
 
I was not fooled.

When the Lefty Bongo does arrive, you'll be able to smell the coWpilot thong from any hemisphere....

:eek: :D

Now that is just wrong on all sorts of levels:eek:
 
Heck I think this is the funniest thread ever. He must be confused cuz he could have learned to play right handed in the amount of time he has waited on the lefty bongo.
