Took the first step toward Bongofication

[Jazzbassman23]

After much deliberation over color, (black, egyptian smoke, carbon blue pearl, and teal) I just ordered a 4HH and expect delivery in mid-March. I went with the black w/black pearloid pg. Fortunately, I was able to find photos of all color combos and was able to make a fairly informed decision. Though some might find black boring, there's something about gloss black w/a matching black headstock. I'm psyched.

I like the black finish, especially with the fancy pickguard.

You should consider a tort pickguard with the black.

I've got a tort guard on my black SR5, and it looks great. I don't recall seeing tort as a pg option though I could have missed it. Yep, I missed it. EB calls it Shell. Still, it's bad enough that I now have four black basses, so the black pearloid will give me some variety. May have to go for that tort though eventually.

You are wise in the ways of tort, Master.

Would this be something easily shared?

Black is good because it goes with everything.Safe bet.

All the rest of your Bongos can be mood colors.Like mood rings lol.

Hmmmn ,yes I feel like desert gold at the moment.NO, no perhaps the teal.NO,no.............

Congrats! Good choice. I too have a black Bongo 4 HH. Here's a pic as it is now, naked:

Pish posh to all those fancy schmancy pickguards. Let that beast run wild and nude!

"Shell" it is ....

One could go all black on a Bongo and not fear that it will be mistaken even in the most lighted places for a Lakeland. That makes black bongos special me thinks.
