SIngle H Bongo EQ Heaven

[mrfstop]

Hey BP,
Thanks for the words of wisdom
I am the owner of some amazing stingrays...
And also the owner of a great 2004 Bongo Lava Pearl HH 4.....
I JUST placed a deposit on a brand new 2009 Dargie Delight II H4....
Greatly looking forward to getting it!
Have never played a Bongo single H ....
And to jump into it with the DDII 4H is highly anticipated for sure...

Thanks again for everything musicman does for our ears!!

cheers from New Yawk!!

Just out of curiosity....

BP, did you mean mids a quarter up from flat (a mid bump) or a quarter up from full-off (a mid cut)?

I tried both out at last practice and both sound good in different ways.

Picked up my new Single H Dargie Bongo tonight.
It is everything you guys say about it.
Truly an amazing bass!
Worth waiting for...
Hope to have this one till the day they plant me!

ad I cant remember.

I was wondering the same thing.

Snapped some pics of the Dargie Bongo II single H ....These things truly are something else! WOW!
Glad I read this thread and went out and grabbed one of these!

Goodness, that's a fine looking thing, mrfstop. That lost shot is TRULY beautiful, too. Great lighting.

As most everyone knows by now, I'm a big fan of the single H Bongos. Yours is a thing to dream about.

Thanks buddy...Had some time this afternoon to snap a few pics ....All natural light bouncing around the living room.
No flashes or reflectors...fun stuff....Not the best for depth of field, but made the most of it

I am loving the Single H Bongo as well..great stuff...I think I have turned into a EBMM junkie in short order....

Nothing like it to get that deep, rich color. Those DD2's have some serious stuff going on.

It happens. I think a lot of people assume my devotion to the instruments was somehow dependent or at least heavily influenced by certain connections I have now, but sometimes I think it's worth mentioning that I had my first Stingray in the 70s and didn't know that BP guy until after I had a Bongo or two. I mean, he's been a horrible influence, to be sure.

Glad you're liking the single H. What's next? You thinking about a Big Al now?

 

[mrfstop]

Yes, they do for sure have some serious stuff going on!
Wondering is there any different in the Original Dargie and the Dargie II?
I mean other than the fret markers? I know one has the martini glasses and the other has the cool pearl ovals.
Wondered if that was it?

For sure it has happened to me.
I remember playing bass in bands back in the mid 80's and wanting to try a MM stingray back then.
Never did.
Then about a year ago, Saw a few of them hanging at the local GC store...
Played a few and found one in particular I fell in love with right away!
I ended up buying that one, it is the 2009 GC limited run Sapphire Black one with the Ebony fretboard and string through body, that's listed in my lineup.
NOW, I am gaga over the brand....And have 6 MM's basses. Wanting more! hahaha!! Dangerous habit!! $$$!!!
Yeah, wanting to get a Big Al SSS I think......Something to strive for in the near future!!
Also G.A.S.ing bigtime for a Stealth Bongo 4 H with ebony board!!! Must be the spy in all of us that loves those things!!

Hey thanks for the support....baby needs shoes...or a new smoker.

It is funny these are all sort of my babies....even the stingray...I adopted it.

But they all have seemed to hold up. I spent some time with a Sting Ray recently (yesterday and just loved it too....I am break9ing out a Sterling because it has been awhile since I played it. Right now I am reaching for the bongo single h still and the big all 5 and 3s.

Thank YOU, for kicking out the endless supply of amazing basses!

I Have a bit of restless shuffling ahead I am sure!
