Poppa's New Bongo's

[skabassist13]

Am I the only one that's not completely wowed by these? I mean they're fabulous basses. I guess i'm just more partial to the SR5.

You are not alone my friend. I personally do not care for them very much at all. I mean, I know they are nice basses because of who made them, but aesthetically they're not doing it for me at all. Actually, I think they look ugly. Rosewood is nice for a fret board, but a whole neck is a bit much if you ask me. However, I have not heard a rosewood necked instrument in action, nor felt it while playing, so if it played as well as any other Bongo and sounded just as good, I would probably just close my eyes and play the thing. Again, this is just my opinion, and in no way means I'm right.
