old and new

[vates]

I've added an orange swirl PG to my desert gold Bongo.
(old and new, that's right)

I think it's really beautiful and unique.

More photos here.

What do you think?

Makes me think whether I should get one...





... a Desert Gold Bongo, that is

Very nice! Where did you get it?

 

[the unrepentant]

nice one, i really like those new orange swirl PGs

That's a really good looking pickguard. It matches perfectly with the finish on your Bongo.

Thank you all!
This beautiful bass gives me a lot of joy these days. Just one look at it brings a smile to my face. And when I plug it and hit a string... wow, the day is made

Very nice! Where did you get it?

The Bongo is from a nice forumite at TB (gearhunter), and the PG is from my local distributor: I've ordered it here, in Ukraine.

It looks better than Firemist+OSP

That PG is crazy !

 

[vates]

Yes, the discontinued-coloured bass with a just-issued PG. That combination IS crazy

Looks quality. I was thinking about one of those for my redrise, which would look mad.

It's the 'new tort'

I'm going to go against the grain here...

The desert gold looks really nice, but I don't like the swirl pickguards, too busy looking. Just my personal opinion (since you asked) and not meant in any way to distract you from your enjoyment.

Then again... as a kid I used to eat peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches, so my personal taste is definitely in question.

peanut butter and mayo....where you pregnant as a kid

 

[MrMusashi]

No, I was never pregnant. But then again, every time I ate one of those sandwiches I seem to remember craving orange swirl ice cream with medium rare roast beef... oooh and dill pickles!!

 

[vates]

I can see your point. But that _was_ the task to make this bass look 60-s-motey-weird

And it delivered...
