tried a bongo during lunch

[fidooda]

Hi, decided to have a look at small (but very nice) music store next to where i work. THey have some EBMM and tried a 5HH Bongo. I found it a little heavy (heavier than SR5 that was at the store too). I was a little confused by the EQ and couldn't really try all the different tones as i wanted (low volume) so i put all EQ neutral.

The tone of that thing was really impressive, really defined and punchy as hell. wow. Loved it. It took a good part of this last year (lurking around here) to start liking the looks of that bass. After this test drive, i'm hooked.

It was also the first 5 strings bass that "talked" to me.

Quick question, is the knob next to the volume the one for the pickups blend?

...and it was saying

"Prepare to be assimilated....."

Ha ha. Geek. Resistance is futile.

Next you go, set everything flat and try only little adjustments, a little eq goes a very long way. Take your checkbook and take the afternoon off... you'll thank me for this advice.

Next time you try one, remember that the stacked pot next to the p/u blend controls mids. I usually leave my bass and treble flat and make all my adjustments with either the blend or the lo & hi mids. You know you want one!!!

before I forget

Buy the Bongo, you won't regret it.

no indecisions here, nope you can't argue, you must buy the Bongo

feel the Bongo, Be the Bongoloid ...

 

[MingusBASS]

Remember: Wait at least a half hour after eating, to play a Bongo.

That's what I was gonna say, LOL!!!

A previous member here began licking Bongos a while back and since then we haven't had any takers on the position. You may be the guy for the job, having Bongos for lunch and all...

Fidooda, which store did you visit?

 

[phatduckk]

i like my bongo with the treble and hi mids completely off. its rad

 

[DTG]

Must mail Pete see if he has sent any over this way.

Hey DTG,

If you want to try out a Sr5 or a Bongo then we're happy to send one to
either Rae Sound in Cookstown or Matchetts in Belfast for you to try.

E mail me and I'll organise it [email protected]

 

[DTG]

Cheers
Dave

FOr a blind guy that blind Lemon doesnt miss much....is this simulcast in Braille?

Fidooda, which store did you visit?

Musique Victor, St-Hyacinthe, Quebec.

I still can't believe that out of nowhere there's an EBMM dealer which also means i don't have to deal with Steve's in Montreal. I just hate that store.

I have Bongo envy...especially Anthony's buttercream 4HS fretless 2005 ltd.
