Just got my Bongo!

[Mahlon]

Yesterday my lava pearl Bongo and the Bongo shirt I ordered off of Bovinehost both came. It's fantastic. Let's see if I can figure out how to attach a pic to a thread. Oops. It's telling me my picture is too big. How can I make it less than 100k? Arrrgghhh

Change the photo's resolution to 72 dpi. And size it to where the width and height is no larger than around 400 pixels, and see if that helps.

Thanks. What tool can I use to do this?

I'm gonna try to attach the pic again. I've just GOT to get my picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone!

Notice the shirt!

I use Photoshop. But if you're not a graphics guy, your PC should have PAINT software. Once you have opened PAINT, from the menu, select stretch/skew, and lower the horizontal and vertical percentages.

HEY!!! What are you doing with my t-shirt on???

Great looking bass and t-shirt you got there.

 

[Freddy-G.]

Lava Pearl is a cool color. Congrats!

Thanks Freddy-G. I've been messing with computers a long time but you just taught me a valuable trick!

All looks good, but really shouldn't we be seeing your tonsils when you are holding that fine bongo?


Congrats and enjoy. I am somewhat jealous and for sure envious.

Mahlon,

Nice bass! I'm jealous.. not of the bass.. of the weather! I wish we had some shorts-wearing temperatures around here. We had a week of 70-degree weather followed by a weekend of snow! Yuk.

 

[roballanson]

nice bass

Yep nice bass man.....

speaking of the weather - shorts not likely here in the UK. It has been warming up but the long johns only come off in the studio. Shorts maybe on stage but not outside.

You lucky person you...

Thanks for all the compliments, dudes. Yeah, South Carolina is a good place to live. I can ride my motorcycle all year except for January and February, and sometimes even then. Cheers!
