I've made up my mind, and I can't see any other option than to keep my Bongo and buy a SR after a while. I just can't get rid of my close-to-perfect-Bongo :p
 
See? I told you many posts ago, that is the only thing that will make perfect sense.

This morning I almost bought another Bongo, but I lost it on eBay to a higher bidder, it was a bargain and in very good conditions, one of the reasons I was interested in this one is because that it was a 4 strings HS stealth, and I haven't played a 4 strings for years, so I was tempted to recapture my bearings on a bass without the comforts of a low B, just a personal challenge I guess, but some lucky punter got it and that would be a very lucky man at the price he won it for, have a look:

Wow, that's an amazing bass. Original PG? I saw a 4 string Bongo with Sapphire black finnish yesterday. It was beautiful! I want another Bongo :p

I really want a SR4 with two humbuckers, but I have to admit that the 30th anniversary looks really good. Even though it doesn't have two pickups nor a piezo. Same for the 2009 LE. Looks amazing :D

Yeah Sapphire black is a very nice colour, here's mine next to my other beauty StingRay 5 ;)

I'm gonna go with the stingray. I have the HH and love it. I've played bongos several times, but they just don't sound as good to me, nor do they feel anywhere near as solid as a stingray.
