I was glancing at Dargin's avatar Martini Green Bongo with the Black pickguard and said to myself, "That bass is really ugly" Jackie made a big deal of it but really folks I know that Dargie has a secret stash that he doesnt think I know about that make this bass really look homely and unbecoming. Kind of like a librarian with too much botox.

What do you guys really think? After the novelty of owning it how long would it take for you to put it on ebay?

THis bass would keep me awake at night barking
 
Well, BP if it's really giving you problems, just go ahead and give it to me. I don't want you staying up at night worrying.
 
Well i think i would like to own it ,Because it is very unique and i really like unique Thats why i dig the sparkles so much, it is a little on the ugly side but almost so ugly its hot ..................
 
The only green finish that appeals to me is TransGreen, and that's a moot point since it's discontinued.

eBay it now, and build yourself (or Dargie) one with a nice custom finish.

You have two of the best looking basses we have made Look at how many knuckleheads have copied you.........You put that barker in a photo with your others and somepeople might get sea sick.

That bass is the Abe Vigoda of Bongos
 
I like it when you put red flames on it like Jackies. I think Dargin's might look a bit better with a different guard on it. Other than that I just like it for the crunchy Kleenex factor.
 
Everything is better in green ;)

I am not a fan of the color green, so I would never own one in that color....I have some of the best colors available from EBMM and my weapon of choice is....the Stealth.....just love the all black finish......:cool:

Can't wait to hold the LE Bongo I have on order....black with gold hardware...nice vintage look from the pics I saw......:D

Green is not for me....If I was given that one, I would not e-bay it though....it has history in the family and that is where I would want to keep it. :cool:
 
Dargin's and Jack's Bongo's are unique, but for me they don't do anything major for me.

Too be honest any Bongo I ever get in my possesion to call mine would never see ebay or even a for sale ad. I do like that green. It makes a statement.

If it is ugly then I like ugly basses. :) I can live with that.
