Question for Bongo owners

[ceddy]

I don't have access to a real live Bongo so I'm depending on others opinions.

I've read enough good about the Bongo to convince myself I need one. Sooo... my question is about the feel and size of the neck. I presently play a vintage jazz (blah for tone) and a Pre EB Sabre. Love the tone of the Sabre but the width of the neck at the nut is about the maximum reach for my puny hands. The Ray's are pretty uncomfortable for me to play due to the thick neck. My question is how does the neck compare to the feel of the Ray neck... or Sabre neck, if someone happens to own one of those?

Thanks for any input...... Rob

In my opinion, the Bongo's neck is the perfect width. It's certainly thinner than a precision bass, but not as thin as a jazz bass or sterling. If anything, it's a tad thinner than the stingray. I hope that helps, haha.

Thank's for the input.... don't know if it's a help or not .... it might help my wallet some if you had replied "it feels like the fat end of a ball bat" .... Thanks

I also might add that I myself have puny hands, and it still feels perfect. Good luck with your search.

Actually, I think the only thing I need to search for now is a way to pay for one... Thanks again
