After debating for 5 months... I finally pulled the trigger and went ahead and ordered the '07 LE Bongo 5 HH... thought I can resist... but... who am I kidding... (what did me in was ADs pics of his Blue Dawn)

and now the wait begins...

Nope - but trust me when I say they sound amazing right out of the box (so if you want flats you get to do it yourself)

maybe derek or one of the mods can help, can the bongo leave the factory with flatwounds on them?

Ritch is correct - it will come with Slinkys.

However, as most of the guys who were here last week can tell you, the EB Group II Flats are rather fabulous on a Bongo.

Congrats on the purchase, too!

So the bongo left SLO and is en route to BC in FL... I've been kinda hiding (on the forums) recently... and trying to hold my own excitement down... but... I think I'm on the verge of just losing it... even if its only 2 and half month wait.... just another week before I get the bongo... sigh... I hope I can last that long...

That bongo will be the shiznit no matter what strings you play.

Congratulations.

Yea... I mentally prepared myself for the standard 6 month wait... but the estimate from Aziah when I placed the order on July 12 is mid-late September... which it did arrive at Bass Central September 18th... and now it is making its way to me on Monday 10/8 :D I guess I ordered at a good time eh?
