The Carbon Blue Bongo may or may not be the ideal addition to your stable, but you've got a PM on it if you're interested.
Do NOT worry if it isn't what you're looking for. I had it on eBay a while back and had to cancel the auction due to some family issues, but it was definitely going to sell. I'm not in any big hurry or desperate for the cash or anything like that, so don't feel at all bad if it isn't what you're looking for, okay?
I'll tell you what I know about this bass. First, it is really beautiful. The color is even better in person than it is in photos. The rosewood on the board is dark, dark, dark - in the way I wish my other boards were! As far as I can tell, there are no marks, no dings, no scratches (might be some light ones on the pickguard, I'll have to look) and if I hadn't played it a few times, I'd call it mint.
But it isn't mint because it's been played some.
You'll notice that I called it more "refined" than the dual bucker Bongos. This bothered me for a while when I first got it, mostly because I sat around for a month or so with it, playing it by itself. I couldn't seem to make it work for me, and then I thought "well, there's only one way to do this, and that's to take it out and play it live" so I did.
And it rocked. Even guys as old as me sometimes forget that the TRUE test of a bass is in a live situation, and the bass performed wonderfully, to say the least. It WILL give you that snarly midrange-y Stingray tone but then you dial in some neck single coil and - it's hard to explain.
I like this bass a lot. If I can get away with it, if you don't want it and I can somehow swing the budget on my little McCartney project I have going, I'll just keep it.
As you can see, I'm not exactly falling all over myself to get rid of it.
But it is one of five Bongos, and I have to (try to) be realistic.
Anyhoo, either way is groovy.

Not yet. But remember that I have a single hummer coming in tomorrow.....
Can't really imagine that I would, really. The fivers KILL.
But I'll let you know.
