I'm getting email that the link doesn't open. I tested it again. It works for me. If it's not working for someone, one thing is just click it, don't cut and paste it cuz for some reason it is truncated in the forum display, even though it works OK.

And for my last trick:
http://www.bassnw.com/usedbass.htm
That's BNW's "Used Basses" page, where you'll find a Medalion Gold HH5FL Bongo for 900 sheckels, with GB. For hard core bass player types, that would be in the "M" section, approx middle of page.

Yeah, it was temperamental at first.

I was thinking about ordering my Bongo in that config, and now I wish I had. Damn, that's sexy!

If it were only a 4!

That thing is tempting guys. I just sold off 2 of my basses so I have the funds for it. Save me from myself!!

Oh, crap. You just HAD to post that, didn't you?

I'm just going through an amplification upgrade right now, and I really need to hold off on the fretless purchase for a little while.

Dammit.

Actually, I thought he was doing a damn fine job.

I like the way you think. I have a fretted Bongo single H on the way to match, I like these single H's a lot.

 

[Dr Stankface]

I don't "need" a fretless but that thing is MIGHTY fine. Travis. Save me!!

The single H is the best... I like the HH Bongos I have but I LOVE my H and the next one will actually be an HP fretless (I still wish I could find some one to trade my 5HH for a 5H). I love the M Gold... if I add one of those then I'll have the lifesaver pack of basses

Come on DO IT!!!! All the cool kids are!!!

Nice bass but lined fretless?

Why not?

Are you questioning the fact that it's fretless or the fact that it has lines?

I'm assuming you're questioning the lines, since fretless basses are not particularly controversial.

Some of the best bassists in the world play lined fretless basses. TL comes to mind.

I've seen purist arguments against lines, but IMHO it's silly. Kind of like asking a race car driver to choose shift points based on the sound of the engine, rather than providing a tachometer.

Purists who think lines are for wimps should also dispense with dots on the side of the neck. If a positioning reference in the form of a line that tells you where to put your finger is unacceptable, then a positioning reference in the form of a dot on the side of the neck should likewise be unacceptable, no?

Agreed.

I actually prefer the look of lines on a fretless board in most cases.
