Look! A Bongo on eBay!

[Big Poppa]

ps how about a psychedelic bongo?
pps Jack thanks for the letter.
did I confirm my identity?

 

[bovinehost]

Dargin, grounded? My only question is....where would the Martini Olive Green Bongo be while Dargin was restricted to his room?

Because I can travel.

Cheers!

You have indeed confirmed my deepest fears, that you are omniscient, all-seeing, all-knowing, ubiquitous, in fact. You're very welcome for the letter. Nothin' but the truth, big guy, and - as you can see - we appreciate you, too.


For all you do, this martini's for you.

Let's see... is there a bass named after you?

 

[bovinehost]

Oh my! It's Sting! Sting Ray!

A psychedelic Bongo would be.....I have no adjectives.

 

[Moondog]

BP is the great, one and only, Mr. Ball??

Behave yourselves guys

Oh my! It's Sting! Sting Ray!

I would (EDIT) really like one

 

[bovinehost]

Shhhh, you're going to give him a big head.

Aarrrrrr, matey!

And dlloyd, stop lording your working kidney over me, would you?

 

[Big Poppa]

yeah there is a bass named after me, but my instrument of choice is a single h bongo. If I had it to do over I would have come out with that first and the hh and hs later. The single pu is in a great position and lets you know just how great the electronics are.

I would post a pic of mine but I actually almost never have one of my own as artist relations loves to give my stuff away. I just ask Dudley for one when I have a gig.
Darg made me a le buttercream single h bongo that I will try to hang onto as well as the proto le buttercream stingray that will probably be sold on ebay for the clb. I did get a very nice one peice no pickguard figured ash sr for my recent 50th bd

You may not know this but Dargins birthday is coming up (3-25) I have thought of the perfect gift....a pimento pickguard for his martini bass.......How to drive Bovine to drink!

 

[Big Poppa]

careful with the one kidney jokes....there are a few members of the ball family with only one kidney!

Welcome to YOUR forum, sir.

See? It is Sting!

I, for one, am glad that the HHs were the first out of the gate. You already know how I feel about that combo. The dual buckers in no way detract from the beauty and power of the electronics!

You may not know this but Dargins birthday is coming up (3-25) I have thought of the perfect gift....a pimento pickguard for his martini bass....

Perfect? Well, almost. Now we all know that it is better to give than to receive, so I think we should convince young Dargin that for his birthday, he should send me the Martini Bongo. He'll see the wisdom of this in the long run, I'm sure.

Well, I'm not SURE, but I'm willing to do my part.

BTW, boss, just so you know - I'm not JUST financing a psycho-Ric. Somewhere in the budget, if all goes well, is a single H Bongo. Does everyone with your last name intend to torture me until I get one?

 

[TSanders]

Im with you on the Single H Bongo Big Poppa.

And thanks Big Poppa for all you do and all you have given to us who have Balls.

 

[SteveB]

Big Poppa,

Thanks for employing great people to make great products. Thanks to you, we've all got Balls.

woah this is like mondo trippy. getting to communicate with the guy that owns(right?) the best bass company in the world. your like famous and stuff and i get to talk to you. WOOOOOAAAAAAHHHHH! *eyes become huge*

 

[bovinehost]

your like famous and stuff and i get to talk to you.

But will HE talk to YOU? Therein lies the mystery.

Plus, you know, I'm famous* and you never make a big deal out of talking to ME.

It kind of hurts.
















*internet only

 

[skabassist13]

of course mr bovine you are famous. that is somewhat understood. i feel special that i get to talk to someone of your popularity. but you pose a true question. will mr. ball talk to me? at least i got you jack if he doesnt.

 

[mike not fat]

Gasp... that means the Boss is reading what we write...whoever started a thread entitled "lets criticize" ? Holly fire will descend on us !

MNF

 

[bovinehost]

Now see? I told you guys these forums were actually being read.

But NOOOOOOOOOO.

See? It is Sting!

Mr. Bovine, Lord of the illustrious Bongo:

Most Recently I had the great pleasure of watching the Single H Bongo in action. Durning the most recent Casey Lee Ball Golf Classic, Albert Lee, Steve Lukather, Rodney Crowell, Brad Paisley, Jim Cox, John Ferraro, and Big Poppa treated partcipants to a night of ear savoring entertainment.

After hearing a smokin' solo by Big Poppa himself in Mustang Sally, I too concur that Mr. Bovine will be tortured until a single H Bongo graces his paws.


Stay tuned for a torcherous post from my good buddy Goshi Ball. I believe that my eldest, Mr. Dargin will be the only one who knows who this man is.
