The Bovine/Strummer Trade Deal

[bovinehost]

Strummer (or as I call him, Steeeeeerummah!) comes to the US every year or so, I think to get some treatment for his hair, and we often find this a good time to make deals or sell stuff or share risque photos of Greek girls living in Canada.

This year, Strummer got the heavily-equipped Blue Dawn Bongo 5 HSp I bought from Peter up in Canada and I got this:

I haven't yet subjected it to the Camp Bovine Photography Session, so that's from when it still lived in Sweden. I did take it to the coWpilot gig a few weeks ago and it was wonderful.

Thanks, Strummer! It just wasn't right that I of all people was without a Dargie instrument. All better now.

Jack

Congrats ... to both of you! I'd love to have either one of those ... ok, both. BTW Jack, this smacks of one of those deals where you owned it before, then you didn't, now you do again kinda thing. Is that the case, or was it that you used to own the Envy Green Bongo that Strummer has/had? I remember seeing that there was some swaperoo like that going on with one or more basses between you freaks.

If you ever want to trade your Dargie for a 4 string version let me know - other than that all I can say is "drool!"

 

[Psycho Ward]

A win, win for both of you I say! Beautiful basses indeed, all this continuing Bongo love makes me want to take "Jewel" to the blues jam tomorrow night.

Hey - that looks just like mine - 'cept for the bridge.

Lovely bass there Jack.

You guys are having too much fun!

 

[the unrepentant]

You're giving me GAS, Jack

 

[Grand Wazoo]

Jack if you lived in London, they would call you a "tart"

 

[Sweat]

Awesome Jack, lovely Dargie just perfect and YES you are the one who needed it, congrats my friend cant wait to see it in person AKA Camp Bovine 2009, just dont have it in March please going to Vegas to get married finally
Your friend the beagle

PS- will be bringing a DD or 2 my self!

 

[strummer]

I'm an extremely happy camper, as I now have the piezo bridge, and boy does the bridge look cool!
Also, I now have a real knob-o-rama, 7 in all, and for some reason this new BD really talks to me in a way the Dargie never did.
I even start to appreciate the finish

And yes, of course it was meant to be, because jack I think it's safe to say there wouldn't have been a Dargie run at all.

Lineage nerds might want to know that this bass was originally owned by Biker4him, then by me and now Jack.
Also it is one of three in this exact configuration.

Can't wait to see jacksons own pics of the DD

Great photo. As it was Strummer that snapped that one, I'd like to request a shot of the other piece involved in the transaction as well

 

[strummer]

I haven't yet subjected it to the Strummer Photography Session, so I'm hoping jack may be able to chip in here?

[Psychicpet]

[Black Lake]

Congrats Jack, I am green with envy (pun intended).

 

[phatduckk]

those are both damn nice looking basses boys

 

[sloshep]

Very cool trade. At least with this deal we didn't need a flow chart.

 

[Duarte]

Blue dawn, I have to say, must be my favorite finish EB ever did. I love how the neck on the BD bongo has that burst to it, as well as sparkles. It really is something special.
