What % of Bongo owners do you think are obsessed?
I'm trying to avoid going to the gym, so I'm sitting here instead thinking of useless questions to kick around.
The people who own Bongos that frequent this and other bass related forums obviously have some deep rooted psychological problems revolving around their need to create the richest deepest darkest most versatile tones possible, and think and write about it incessantly.
A while back I saw a guy playing a differnt highend bass that I also owned at the time and I questioned him about it - why he bought it, etc. He knew the brand of bass it was, but looked at me like I was nuts. He didnt know the model, didn't know anything about it... just said he picked it up at some music store cuz he though it sounded great and that was that. He kind of blew me off like, "It's a bass dude."
My questions: Do you think all Bongo owners are crazy like us? Do you know any people who have Bongos simply because that's what they pulled off the wall in a GC, or they just though it looked cool? Is it a pre-requisite to research and study these basses before buying one? My understanding is that Bongos are selling like crazy, yet I only know of about 10 peeps who collect pictures, study the history, do searches to see if theres anything new anyone's discovered about them, know every color they're available in, every pickup configuration, think up bongo slogans, make t-shirts of them, know what custom colors people have bought them in, know where to get mint colored pickguards, know what their desert gold will look like with a tort, know what that even means... etc. etc. Not that I do any of that...
Yo, like...wussup ya'll??????
