This is my Bongo

I really must get one "human Bongo" too!!!

Great stuff AD, ...well at last how much I understand poetry in English!

Keko... you might need a little context here. That was a take-off on the U.S. Marine Corps' Rifleman's Creed, which featured in the movie Full Metal Jacket (which is where the photos came from).

One version of the original text is here:

Here is my new baby...I love it

Does anybody know the size of the hex wrench for outside anchor bolts on the bridge. One of them was loose when I got my bass and metric size wrenches don't seem to fit perfectly.

Maybe it was already said here on the forum but allen wrenches should be part of the package in my opinion.

That is beautiful. There's just something about the combination of Sterling Silver and the Bongo shape that works really well together (IMO). Love it!!

Finally...you zealots may be wearing me down. My GAS has been pretty controlled for some time, but I feel the itch for a new bass. I am thinking something HH. Seeing as I am up to my ears in Stingrays, it seems there is a viable alternative...

You certainly have 'old school' covered nicely. Might be time for a spaceship, eh?

I allways like coming back to Croatia too. Have some great friends there.
Your bass (the one on your avatar) looks killer too. I bet it plays and souds great.
