Picture of Pacific Blue Burst Bongo?

[asianjeff]

anyone have a picture of a pacific blue burst bongo?

 

[slucas]

I didn"t know they made them

 

[Dr Stankface]

Nope. Don't exist.

 

[asianjeff]

is that a color option for the bongos?

 

[Dr Stankface]

It would be cool but no. They don't do any trans finishes on Bongos (except the 1 off vintage burst Bongo for CLB that resides with Dave (MusicMan Nut)) because basswood just isn't pretty.

 

[asianjeff]

So the closest thing would be a blue dawn on a bongo then...

 

[Dr Stankface]

You got it.

They make SR5s in PBB though.

Shameless "Buy a SR5!" plug

 

[asianjeff]

haha, its gorgeous on the SR5, but right now I have a SUB 5 so I'm just testing out new waters with the Bongo 5. If I were to get a SR5 I would def go for the pacific blue burst with matching headstock, rosewood fretboard, and HH.

Are the blue dawn bongo's considered as a limited edition?

 

[Dr Stankface]

Yep. They're the 2007 Limited Edition. Unless you're Dargin or Dave Larue, this is the only time you can get one!

 

[asianjeff]

well, isn't that a bummer... looks like i might have to look into SR5 HHs then...

 

[Dr Stankface]

They're great.

Have you tried a HS?

 

[asianjeff]

honestly have not, you being the SR5 man around here, what PU config you would recommend. I love the SUB5's (which honestly I haven't posted a pic of yet... will do it in a couple days because I have to pack everything up and head down to Miami for a conference which I will be playing at for a week) punch, but for my next bass I want to get something that has a warm bass tone to it.

 

[Dr Stankface]

Well, I haven't gotten my HS in yet but I have played a few and I just may like it better than I do the HH. Will have to wait and see when it comes in.

Want something warm? Single H SR5 w/ piezo and flats.

 

[asianjeff]

i thought piezo only gives the acoustic sound.

 

[Dr Stankface]

With my experience with a piezo, it does give it a more acoustic sound but dial it in just right and it's quite the warm tone.

If you'd like this to go a bit faster and are able to, you can IM me @ Dr Stankface (AIM).
