Yeh, iss o'ange, biches

Love that color... I like both pickguards, my favorite would probably be whichever one I had on two days in a row and got used to

 

[rizzo9247]

Whoa!

 

[syciprider]

Gorgeous!

 

[drTStingray]

Gorgeous bass A Douglas. Tiramisu/orange swirl is the one IMO. Congrats.

 

[guenter]

Good to hear that its color is an intense orange. On some photos (in other threads) the color looked too washed out like apricot/peach.

Very nice bass.

Now that I'm back at work and looking at the photos on a different screen, they don't look the same. You just can't trust pictures of MM finishes.

 

[Freddels]

Orange swirl all the way!!

 

[ivbenaplayin]

Sweet Bass AD... VERY SWEET! The orange swirl does it for me. Congrats!

Nice Al! I'd go with a black PG.

 

[projectapollo]

Awesome. How's she play and sound?

 

[adouglas]

Just got home from practice.

Mucho punchy. Me likey.

A lot heavier than my H Bongo, though.

Just got home from practice.

Mucho punchy. Me likey.

Look forward to a gig review of the Al, AD.

PS do you think the weight thing could possibly be down to getting used to the different shape - the Bongo is sooo easy to wear compared with any other bass I own (and mine is quite a heavy one) - or maybe it's the mind ray fighting back!

 

[adouglas]

No, it's physically heavier. My H Bongo is very light… less than 9 lbs. The BA is about 10.5 according to my bathroom scale, which is about the same as the HHp Bongo.

 

[drTStingray]

That's quite a bit heavier then - it's actually much like my Bongo HHp weight.

No doubt you'll get used to it - it looks fantastic.

Congrats Mr.D on your new BA, Tangerine with Orange Swirl an you set !
Nice one man !

 

[keko]

Oh Yeah, ...congrats Man!

Definitely orange swirl, ...it fits to image of Your band and I like it better anyway!

Really like the color, ...just trying to imagine my potential future Bongo 5 Hp in this combo?

Play it in a good will!

"Yeh, iss o'ange, biches"

That is probably the best title for a thread I have seen

 

[Freddels]

May have to switch to Orange amps!!

 

[kylierider]

Man AD that bass is bad ass...

I'm kinda in the process or slimming down the bass content. I love both my SR's. I played my friends Bongo for a while and found out it is just not for me.. Really I have all I need. 92 trans white Sting Ray, a 30th fretless, a 78 P bass and an active hybrid jazz bass. A couple of years ago I promised myself that I would never buy another electric bass....Then the Big Al came along. Music man quality in an SSS format.. Ok I'm sold.

Doomed I am...I love orange basses. and your bass is perfect. Gotta keep that orange swirl pickguard as it looks too cool..So how does it compare to your Bongos? I know your a Bongo man. I thought the Bongo had a good tone but it was kind of sterile compared to my Sting Rays. How does that massive preamp compare with the SSS config vs the H in the Bongo?

 

[AlexBongoCrazy]

Dig it... But you have one to many strings..

There's no such thing as one too many and now when i see a 4 string i think somethings wrong

I'm more in love with the bongo, HH and piezo mmmmm
