I know it's just the protective plastic, but the PG looks almost like black sugar, which I think would look KILLER on that bass. If they made a black sugar PG, anyway.

I removed later that plastic protection foil, PG is regular black 3-ply, glossy black plastic, ...in about 10-15 days I'll put some professional studio pics, as soon as my photographer friend return from business trip!

Still so mad with that single H Bongo thing?)

Yeah, SO Mad!


...I'll just assuage my anger with my own "Red Devil" ( Do peeps really give their bass a NAME??)


Welcome to the Single H Club

Your brochure explaining rituals and secret handshakes are in the mail.

It is that good.

Haha. They ALL are!

Glad you dig the Bass, Keko!

Hey guys from EBMM company,

...what the hell did You built in that Bongo 5H???

I just came home from band rehearsal for tomorrow wedding gig, ...it's a killer tone, ...all flat and R'n'R, yeah baby, ...Ohh my God and sweet Jesus, Mother Mary and all saints ... this bass rocks!!!

Band mates were in shock too , ...wtf?, ...it's almost twice louder than my reflex on flat ...growl is incredible, ...OK new strings are on, but anyway, ...THIS BASS IS A DANGEROUS WEAPON!!!

I'm afraid to touch a string tomorrow to avoid crash of wall paint job in the venue we'll play!

Well done guys, ...I'm in positive shock!

Thanks Josh,

...Yeah, ...now I know!

Short first sound'n'sight video is uploading!

 

[keko]

OK, ...first show of amateur home video, coffee + two cigarettes and gimme some funk baby!

Bongo => cable => PC sound card => Practica lens + Sony DVR (2.0 Dolby dual Mono into the 2ch Stereo) /drums loop funky 115 BPM in the background!

Forget about a few ghost notes, ...focus to the main bass tone:

 

[bignasty]

nice demo

 

[OldManMusic]

I love that sound Keko. Single H Bongos are monsters.

 

[LeftyBongo]

Man, I'm gassing so much for exactly the same bass: a Bongo 5 Single H, CAR, black pickguard. Sounds great.

How heavy is yours, keko?

 

[keko]

My Bongo weight exactly 4.0 kg!

Just to compare with my reflex which is weight a 4.3 kg!

Both a very good results for a professional 5 string basses, from my point of view!

(measured on a digital scale)

 

[mmbassplayer]

8.8lbs for you American types. JOSH

 

[nurnay]

Dig the tone!

 

[MrMusashi]

the h sounds monstrous even on flat settings

now.. install flats on it! (magic adouglas mind trick ray inserted here... lol)

MrM

 

[keko]

I'll never put flats on a fretted bass, ...but Cobalts will be on the Bongo as soon as factory strings "die".
