New Six String in the House

[Eggman]

Just arrived from The Perfect Bass. Very cool. As I am primarily a 4 string player - I find this one easier to play than my 5 string. Sounds great and its fun exploring the extended upper range.

Nice, I find the 6 string Bongo very cool and very intimidating, congrats

 

[fidooda]

[DaPatrooch]

I love that color combo! Not a very popular one, but I think Teal Pearl just works on the Bongo, especially with that pickguard. Congrats!

 

[Eggman]

Is it heavy?

Just weighed it at 10.6 pounds.

Played the Bongo 6 last night at rehearsal for the first time, and I will say this:

1. It sounds great
2. It is a bit heavy - but after 2.5 hours, it wasn't too bad.
3. The neck is huge - but remarkably easy to play. I only stumbled a couple of times (I play mostly 4s - so 5s and 6s confuse me a bit.)
4. The extra low and high range added some good new sounds to our songs
5. My fingers, hands and wrists were a bit sore this morning. Guess I have to get use to the neck size.

Overall I give a huge thumbs up! Good job BP and crew. I could see this becoming my #1.
