The Big Poppa Bongo (BPB) Photos

[bovinehost]

Finally found a few minutes to snag some decent photos.

You sentimental boys, I saved the original black ice guard and it's on display in the studio. (Tacked to the wall, actually. You think I need a plaque?) And I do think this guard looks pretty damned nice, don't you?

The 'current basses page' is now completely up to date!

Hey Sterling - thanks again. The boy is really attached to this color!

That is a smoke'n bass Jack. Congrats.

I'd like to try that bass out. Nice.

At least the boy got your wife's good looks--he appears to have gotten your personality. One outta two ain't bad.

Seriously, great lookin' bass. Great lookin' kid.

Sexy bass!!

You and anyone else that makes it out this way is more than welcome to come by and fondle the basses. I mean that, too.

And that boy IS a lot better looking than I am!

Hey love the pics shown on your web site. Particularly the Green Flamed Bongo.
I think it's great that you championed the Bongo cause.

It's also great to see that Dudley is playimg my "Fav" - an Albert Lee.
Talking of which "WHAT DID YA CALL THEM" !!!!!!!
- Well I gotta start somewhere.

Not sure what the question is....I called Dudley "Dudley", I do remember that.

Very cool Jack. I made sure to order a "BP Bongo" for the shop here.

 

[strummer]

A fine looking instrument!

I feel Single H Bongo GAS building up!

Too bad I also want a Stingray, and have to get a new roof (yes the whole piece that goes on top of the house, bye bye $50000)

GrapHearl Moonstone?
I approve!

Quote from Website:-

"Dudley Gimpel is far left, playing the George Jetson (okay, Albert Lee) guitar."

George Jetson Guitar huh! Yeah I know it's pretty mild, but hey, you championed the cause for the Bongo, and as I said, I gotta start somewhere!!

 

[bovinehost]

Ah, the George Jetson thing....you know, I'm not sure about this, but I may have heard the George Jetson description from either BP or Dudley.

JimiD first hit me with the "Jetson" tag when I joined the forum. I guess I can't argue if BP/Dudley also used the term, so that's alright then ha!
How about BP making an AL bass? - green with flames?

My guitar player calls it the "George Jetson" guitar. He just missed winning one with MM90's on Ebay recently.

Whoa. I want an Albert Lee and I don't even play guitar anymore. That shape is just too cool for school.

Yeah I've noticed a few on there recently. They seem to have gone for a reasonable second hand price. That's what I'll be after next - an AL with MM90's, that's it then, no more !!

I love the shape too.
How can you not love this ...

Funny that 'cos I play very little bass - and of all the eB basses I fancy a Bongo.
4 string
2 humbuckers
Black cherry burst
(Piezo if they do them on bongos)
I'd better go before I defect to the dark side

I meant to say earlier that Moonstone looks awesome on the BPB.

 

[bovinehost]

Moonstone does look good on the BPB...........

....jeez, that's a pretty AL!
