The Gem of the Desert

[Psychicpet]

Yes, I am blessed to be part of the Bongo support group.
alot of soul goes into every instrument----a rare thing these days!
Do you find that a 130 works better than a 125 on the bongo?
c

I'm using the Super Slinky 5s on my fretless Bongo and like the lighter gauge/lower action for it but the fretted Bongo gets the usual regular Slinkys with a .130 BUT I've heard that the taper wound(or exposed core) LaBellas with a .126(?) are an amazing B for any bass.

It's just a name.

And look, C-L-I-F-F.

Four letters, three consonants and one vowel.

Now check this out:

J-A-C-K.

Four letters! Three consonants! One vowel!

Tell me it isn't scary, really.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

The fishing village one is a place in Cornwall where my lucky little bro gets to work...

The other is where my girl's family live in Derbyshire.

Both nice!

I'll be in Vancouver in August. I've been there a few times on the Warped Tour, but was always at a venue. I'll be passing through for work, but I am going to try and weasel a day off there to visit.
