Today was a great day!
I found a used Bongo 4H in Desert Gold, and I made the purchase last weekend. It showed up at my doorstep today!
It was a slightly (and I say slightly, because how can you really go wrong with ebmm?) risky purchase on my part since I had never even seen a Bongo in person, much less played one. However, the risk paled in comparison to the reward.
Simply incredible.
The color is gorgeous. The tone nothing short of pristine. Unbeleivebly light-weight. Totally comfortable to play. As a plus, my wife digs it
In the few minutes of play time I had plugged in (I live in a duplex... gotta be nice to the neighbors) through my ernie ball 2x10 and 2x12 cabs, and my yorkville head, I fell in love with the tone.
I did a "side by side" comparison to my '94 SR4H ... I found the SR was darker and more agressive with heavy growl, the bongo was pure and smooth. It will be a great addition, as I can use it in the second half of my bands set when we mellow out a bit, giving us a more distinct sound then.
So well done EBMM! You have given me 2 great basses that will last me a lifetime. Thank you for making great quality instuments, ans standing behind them, as well as the players who use them.
and yes, I know.. no pics, no bass.. so here goes! (credit to my super awesome wife who allows me to buy said bass, and also takes great pics)
first , me screaming "NEW BASS DAY!!" when it arrived.
Second, opening the case for the first time...
Beauty shots...
And finally, it and the SR resting peacefully.. not sure where the wife is sleeping tonight...
