Well now I have gone and done it

[roballanson]

Sitting next to my desk here at work - right now - is a Bongo 5 HS in graphite pearl....

I have given in.

Pics to follow.

Very cool!

You won't regret it.

Can't wait to see the pics.

Cheers Mo - might even christen it at an upcoming gig a week Saturday - if I can tame it in time

Don't worry this is completely normal.

While waiting for my HH SR5, i've bought me a HH Bongo 5.

 

[Dr. Nick]

Always room for more, right? Congrats and enjoy!

Congrats and that Bongo HS, i love mine, I've gotten alot of positive comments about the sound. I still love the HH rays and plan to own at least one of those soon.

Actually have to work on the colour - the ticket says black with Abalone pg.....never mind when I post the serial number someone can set me straight....

 

[oldbluebassman]

Good decision. You will not be disappointed.

Rob, the graphite pearl is not at all black. You should be able to consult the photos and see the difference with no problems at all.

Not black at all.

4 strings look funny

Its a giant gray gold fish cracker!

4 strings look funny

Probably because with 4 strings, the center if symmetry is placed between the strings instead of on a string.

 

[roballanson]

Ok no pics yet - its not been very sunny to say the least here in the UK - but the weather is looking ok for the weekend so will do them then.

Serial number is F13303 (dob?)

and I think the colour is def black with an abalone pg......

cannot wait to plug it in.

Congrats Rob!

Hey I was in Bristol last week . . all business so I didn't
ping you, maybe you're not even close. Rained everyday
however it was amazingly green outside. Had my fish&chips,
bangers, etc. but could not find a cuban cigar! bummer!
Luckily had my Don Carlos

Have fun w/the Bongo.

 

[roballanson]

No not close - about 4hours drive - but I could have pointed you to a good cigar shop....and I think there is one somewhere over t here but it might be in Bath.
Been raining here for weeks now - its the wettest drought on record

How was the Don Carlos?

looking forward to using the Bongo live next week
