There might be a fretless Bongo somewhere in my future. No decisions yet, but it's a nifty idea (last weekend I sat in with a solo acoustic guitarist/singer, and what I was doing cried out for fretless).

If it happens, it will be a Bongo 5, H with piezo. Bear in mind when you choose the color that pau ferro is a lot lighter than rosewood.

Choose one of the three combos listed, or, if you really think you've got a better idea, post a pic that you think will change my mind.

I'd definitely have medallion gold if I could get the color past my wife. Yes, she must approve all bass purchases, and the main thing she basses her opinion on is color. I have to avoid the "I won't be seen with you if you play that bass" heh. And, yes, she plays keyboard/piano. No wonder marriage was a ruff start LOL :D

Hmmm....I'm not entirely sure that's Carbon Blue. That might be Pearl Blue.

I'm seriously considering a Teal as my next Bongo. I don't see a whole lot of those...
It'd look good next to Candy Red, don't ya think? :D

I originally voted for the black/tort combo - very classic, but that carbon blue pearl with the moonstone PG is breathtaking!
