I saw a firemist purple Bongo 5HH in GC in LA last weekend. I don't need another, but dang that was a purdy bass. I'm waiting on a tangerine fretless HS I ordered a few weeks ago thru Pete, but that purple - wow!
Oh, that purple speaks to me. It visits me in my dreams. It haunts me. It beckons to me. Alas, I have a new bass and so the purple Bongo is not to be. *sigh*
I just got my 30th Anniversary Stingray 5 a few weeks ago. Now that I saw Guitar Center and Musicians Friend have an exclusive purple Bongo with a roasted neck, I'm thinking I need to pull the trigger on that.
Pre ordered last week and will take 6 months to arrive (around November). A Bongo 5HH in Stealth Black with additional white pickguard. I hope it's going to be worth the wait......
I'm feeling very attracted to the idea of a 4HH gold/yellow Bongo. How yellowtail is that new colour - anyone have a view on it? I'm really after a yellow Bongo.
I've been saving for a 5-String bass. My favorite color is Purple. I opened the Ernie Ball Music Man Basses webpage recently to look at Stingray 5's. You can imagine the reaction I had when I saw that SR5 in Firemist Purple on there. LOL. I need to sell another bass first, then I will be ordering some purple goodness. That is the best bass color I've ever seen!
OK so lets add a Sterling 5 to the Stingray Classic I ordered. So very fortunate to have great shop that is a EBMM dealer. I am sure I will order another one once I get the Classic... it is nice to have a couple in the pipeline at all times... curbs the raging GAS I have..... a wee bit.
