Just Pulled the Trigger on a Bongo

[ImABassPlayer]

I just ordered a Bongo in Desert Gold from the great folks at Bass Central. Mike is an awesome guy to work with, by the way. It should arrive in mid-October. I can't wait. Now what do I do to keep from going insane until then?

Congrats! What config did you go with?





BTW - My finger is on the trigger for a Bongo... Just waiting for Pete to return my call!

I ordered a 4 string HH 4-band EQ. I played around with one at GC for a while and fell in love with it. The range of tones it produces is amazing.

I'd like to thank BP and everyone at EBMM for making such a great bass. But please don't come out with something "bigger and better" at Winter NAMM this year. My bank account can't handle it.

My first Ball was Desert Gold 4HH Bongo from BC as well

Desert gold is a great color.

Well, the 6-string will definitely be bigger.

Congrats on pulling that trigger. I had a Bongo 4HH. They're tone monsters!

Desert gold is a great color.

Yes. Yes it is.

Congrats. That will shine on stage.

feel yourself lucky, I was sure adouglas was going to send the Bongo Collective on you.
Instead, you got a picture of his nice Bongo

 

[strummer]

Yes. Yes it is.

Nice
Now where the hell did I put that plain black PG? I've been looking for it...

I. Now what do I do to keep from going insane until then?

Order another bass right now! If you always have one on order the wait for the next one ain't so long.... trust me!

Don't joke. I'm seriously considering picking up a Sterling to make the wait easier.

Waiting will definitely turn you a little crazy I'm not a very patient person when it comes to waiting longer than a week for anything. It will definitely be worth the wait though, when you finally get it , you'll play it all night And then the 6 string will come out and it will start all over

Good choice... can't go wrong with a Bongo (great color too - I soooooo miss my DG Bongo, sniff)

 

[MrMusashi]

I hear ya. What I usually do is keep two or three out on the stand and have one or two in their cases, then rotate them out after a few weeks. This way it doesn't look like I have so many. The only problem is the kids can't keep a secret! Since I only have two at the moment and another one on the way, I'm safe for a while.
