Help! Keep my Bongo or trade for a SR?

[MrMusashi]

yes, its a special batch for the german/austrian distributor
i too like it a lot, but with all the good stuff going on this year i dont see how i can even afford 25% of em
you got the 25th anniversary model, the big al, the stealth sr4, the all black ebony model and to top it all, the rosewood neck versions... i dont know where to start!

welcome to the addiction i tell ya... welcome!

I gotta say, I've had both, and I still have the Bongo. Just sayin'....that thing is a BEAST.

Prediction: You'll want your Bongo back. Save up for a Stingray.

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

Awesome!!!

I think you will be very satisfied having both.

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

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

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.
