Off Topic The ORIGINAL Creator of "The Bongo"

[jlepre]

I'm not sure, but here is a clip of the first prototype of the Bongo. Now before everyone gets their panties in a bunch, I am only kidding. I love EBMM basses..ALL of them. Please go to exactly the :23 minute mark for a glimpse... RIP Peppi Marchello...

Hey, look a toilet joke. SOOooooooooo original. Nothing like insulting an instrument on the company's forum. Good job.

 

[jlepre]

WOW! Thin skin still on this subject I see. I wasn't trying to hurt anyone's feelings (see above disclaimer), but merely finding it ironic that someone actually MADE this mock bass back in 1999. Again, this thread was just meant to be light-hearted, and not to take it so seriously.

Jlepre - I'm with you bro.... great post man, keep up the good work!

I love how you even prefaced your post with guys getting their panties in a bunch... ha ha. This forum is so classic ha ha

ROCK

BTW

I went to an audition the other day with my Bongo 5HH silver & the guys asked what the hell is that thing? 30 minutes later I got the part.

BAM

 

[jlepre]

EXACTLY! Congrats on the gig

I'm sorry. Do a search--there are 247 threads with the word "toilet" in them.

It'd be one thing if it was a unique joke, or hadn't been heard hundreds of times for the last decade.

You can call it "panties in a twist" if you want. I call it stale, unimaginative material.

And, to post it here, it's akin to going to someone's house for dinner and saying, "Your wife's a great cook, but she sure is ugly!"


It's lame.

At the very least, queue up the damn link to the important minute of the 2 hour concert so it doesn't take me 3 minutes to confirm the tired decade old joke. I was hoping someone was playing a bass pecussively like Bongos. Nope--same old lame toilet seat joke. ha. Toilet. Good one!

 

[jlepre]

How do you cue up the video? I would have done that if I could. BTW..the JOKE was the fact that someone made an actual BASS with a toilet seat back in 1999. I was showing it as an irony, but Monkeee seems to be the only one who doesn't get it.

EXACTLY! Congrats on the gig

Thanks John

BTW: Jokes around here remind me a lot of this video... especially 30 seconds on.... from Caddyshack...

I just wanted to post in this thread

Jeez, I'm glad my band isn't so disorganized between songs! (No comment on the music they play; I actually liked a couple of their studio cuts.)

 

[jlepre]

Rich,

You know The Good Rats huh. They had alot a very catchy tunes back in the day. Probably their most popular was, "Takin' it to Detroit."

 

[OldManMusic]

You guys can call the Bongo whatever you want. I'll call it "the Sky Blue bass on my shoulder" at this evening's gig. That's where it counts.

 

[bovinehost]

I am not humorless, but this has been done to the point of overdone.

 

[bovinehost]

so anyway

TUnaman why the shots? Monkee is entitled to his opinion...so am I and so are you. There are a few jokes that have been just beat to death...starting with all of the "playing with my balls"...

But here is my thing...we give you a canvas to participate in.....one that started with no rules.... now we have many....and I cant figure out why people come here that have so little respect for it....

" Yeah these people are so lame"????
