[LowMoJo]

my sterling HH is in the FS thread. i must have a 2 pickup bongo right away. i've owned the 1H and loved the look/feel, but never played an HH before today. can you believe that?
please trade me your bongo. 4 string... 5 string... HS.... HH... nice, new, good sterling for you.

Now willing to trade my lovely HS SR4.

That sterling you have is beautiful. I reckon you would regret it later down the line...

 

[LowMoJo]

thanks, it is a looker. but after finally playing that HH bongo it all became clear. my SR5HH is safe. the Sterling and even SR4 are fair game at this point.

c'mon people. minty fresh 4 string balls looking for a new, good home. white male seeks bongo.

I played a Sterling HH the other day, it sounded great. The neck 'bucker makes a good balance for the bridge 'bucker.

Good luck man.

 

[LowMoJo]

Kristopher, i see a Bongo in your sig. where exactly do you live in Tempe?

 

[Kristopher]

I live a couple of traffic lights north of ASU. If I didn't have a maple board Sterling 5 HH coming my way at the end of the month, I might have been your guy just because I love Sterlings. But unfortunately, another maple HH would be a bit redunant in my collection, and plus I'd have to go out and get another Bongo at some point since they do kick a whole lotta butt.

Stick around, check the 'want to buy' and 'want to sell' threads, I'm sure someone will come your way. You could even try talkbass, there's a lot of trading going on there as well. There also might be a chance you can snag one cheap at a Guitar Center, they've been selling them at crazy prices. Call around, there still might be some left. That's how I got mine.

Sorry,

My Bongo will be a keeper. However, a sterling would be nice to have as well.
Now I have this bloating feeling again....

Shepp...

Bongo fever is quite understandable...last week I saw guitarist extraordinaire Johnny A. (wow)! and his bassist, Jesse Bastos, played a Bongo HH the whole show... and it ruled. The bass sound was terrific and I chatted with Jesse afterwards. A top-notch player and very gracious, Jesse was very passionate about his Bongo and said it was strung with flatwounds. I had no idea... the tonal range of the instrument was amazing... there was more top-end zing than I would have ever guessed. His baby is the HH, but he also so had an HS on deck that he chose not to play. I am now seriously infused with Bongo GAS...

HOLY SMOKES...what the hell color is that????

 

[EBMM7181]

PM sent on that beautiful Sterling HH

 

[mynan]

HOLY SMOKES...what the hell color is that????

You said it...Egyptian Smoke.

 

[MK Bass Weed]

You said it...Egyptian Smoke.

Sheesh...looks a little like the Las Vegas Gold...no longer available. It's on my mind as I saw a similar gold color in the new Carvin catalog (it's just porn)....I thought, hey, maybe there's a new batch of useable gold paint for basses now in Cali.

 

[LowMoJo]

I've had a Las Vegas gold stingray and the Egyptian Smoke doesn't look gold at all in comparison. It's sort of a gray/silver with a brownish tint. Just like smoke! it is a cool color fer sure.

 

[MK Bass Weed]

Yeah...I know, the photo threw me off! Lv Gold is pretty darn cool...

 

[Aussie Mark]

Tim Sarter has a Dargie Bongo 4 in the for sale thread. Put your Stingray on eBay and you're set.

 

[Jawshco]

Yeah, I have Bongo Fever as well. I tried to trade in my Stingray, but I love it too much to take what anyone was willing to offer for it. I just can't part with it for less than $800, not when I paid 1,300 for it, and not when I know how awesome it sounds. But the best offer I received was $450- . Maybe if Mr. Bush sends me a nice big check in the mail next month, then the Bongo will be mine, oh yes...it will be mine...
