Greetings from Preston - UK. I'm in the process of becoming a confirmed Ernie Baller after a close encounter with a Bongo.

I'm a member of bassworld.co.uk too and tried a Bongo at a recent meeting and it was love at first pluck. It beloned to a guy called Paul who's also a member here, in fact here's a pic...

I bought the black one (4HH) and tonight I'm taking the 5HS off his hands too if all goes to plan.

Stand by to be pestered silly by endless questions from the donut man!

There are no silly questions - only questions that can be researched using the Search Function.

Welcome to the forum and welcome to Bongolandia.

Wow. Lots of people joining up already owning multiple Bongos. Cool. :cool:


Oh, and that 5HS in Cobalt Blue originally came from me, so I feel like I know you, Man. :D

Welcome Homer, have you met Dr. Nick? Always great to see more Brits here, we need all the "breakfast club" members we can get to keep the forum active in the GMT AM (while the majority of US-ians are still asleep and the board is inhabited predominantly by Europeans, Aussies and a drunken Steve Dude). BP loves BassWorlders, heh-heh!

:D

WOW - that's spooky!! It's a small world indeedy.

Thanks for the welcome fellas - I'll post some pics when I can but in the meantime (hope this is ok) here's link to my band's website.

I used to be a confirmed Fender bender but also had a really nice '88 2 band 'Ray with the most figured bird's eye maple neck I've ever seen but I couldn't get on with the playing position near the bridge and got cramp in my forearm whenever I played for long periods so it had to go.

No problem with the Bongo - I'm not stuck in one position and can switch between pickups.

Woooo more UK peeps! :)

Congrats on the Bongo purchases - those are both real stunners!

You ARE aware though that these 2 won't be the last ones you ever buy... ;)

Really good to have you here!

Who said that I dont like that senior citizen bass forum.....Did you basses have any dings from the walkers and porta potty's?

I actually have nothing against Bassworld I just like poking fun at them....

Hi Al

Fancy meeting you here. Congrats on the Bongo. I'm sure you will enjoy enormously. I've just been rebonding with my '80 Ray and we seem to be getting on really well.

Ah....so that's what OBBM stands for!!! Hope your back's getting better Dave.

It dates from the days when I played for an outfit called Old Blue Moses, I called myself Old Blue Bass Man but everyone shortened it to OBBM, so when we parted company I adopted it as my new persona.

Back has recovered now thanks. I'm getting it serviced tomorrow. :eek:
