[quote name='Duarte' post='616222' date='Oct 4 2009, 08:42 AM']It's great at being a Bongo...that means the best sounding bass ever made! But no, I wouldn't say it's GREAT at sounding like...say...a fender jaguar bass.[/quote] i was talking about the sr506 someone asked about it just its good at doing everything but not really special in any one thing., i love the bongo sound still figuring out what to do with the eq, found a very nice slap tone and other than that i like it flat.. havent tried a jaguar but id prefer this over any fender ive played...(but i have only played a few im not flaming them or anything) music shops are useless here so i rarely try anything out

just got the bongo.. i love it, used to have a 4x10 gk cab ontop too but company i bought it off were dicks... soundslive so got a refund, i will have it again!

sold this SUB to get it, sad to see it gone but i needed cash

apologies for the double post but got a pic of everything together, sounds great [url="http://img36.imageshack.us/i/bass1846.jpg/"][/url]

[quote name='JimBobTTD' post='614821' date='Oct 2 2009, 02:07 PM']Nice - congrats on the new bass. I hear great things about the Bongos, plus a lot of criticism of their appearance. Mind you, I'm positively drooling over the Ibanez in that last pic you have. Mmmmmmm.[/quote] its pretty nice, its got a very nice neck. its good at everything but not really amazing at anything. great for the price. i reccomend them highly

[quote name='budget bassist' post='613885' date='Oct 1 2009, 03:21 PM']Ahh, i can never tell the difference between those two. It's a nice colour though and a superb bass. I think £1600 is a decent enough deal brand new.[/quote] every picture of it looks different,, theyre awkward colours i was looking through pics to pick colours and this one looked blue more gray/black in person much nicer. i think its reasonable anyway, best i found online and came to me over a weekend prettymuch.

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='613878' date='Oct 1 2009, 03:11 PM']That's a good price - where do you live? I'm guessing it's not the UK??[/quote] no im in ireland, prices here are sh*t, and theres nothing in shops anyway. most shops just have starter stuff and a few mid level things overpriced(and only fenders stuff usually with the mid level stuff) so i bought this without ever trying even a 4 string bongo.. so glad it wasnt a piece of crap when it arrived. sold my SUB which i loved to get money for this, well worth it. shipping was only 20 sterling so very happy with the whole thing.

its sapphire black, i didnt have much choice on the colour it was either take it as it is or wait 4 months for what chose. got it from the bassgallery they matched an online price so got it for 1600 sterling. way better than thomann or any oif those, prices on thomann a while back were 2600, they suck these days.

[quote name='henry norton' post='613758' date='Oct 1 2009, 12:40 PM']Indeed. I prefer the contrasting guard (and the chrome hardware) to the all black ones - makes it look more like......a MusicMan![/quote] yeh i like the matt black on the body but the hardware.

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='613703' date='Oct 1 2009, 11:44 AM']I would happily park my arse on that seat - lovely lovely bass. Howzit sound? Bet it's thunderous ...er like my arse [/quote] so would i, it sounds great but so far ive only heard it through a crappy busker amp thing i have which cant handle anything and also some headphones through a pedal.. even through them it sounds great but this weekend ill get to try it out with my gallien krueger rig... i will cry very nice bass its the most expensive thing ive ever owned, its pretty heavy and has a slight bit of neck dive but worn high its nto really a problem.

this spaceaged toilet seat appeared at my door yesterday.. tis very very nice, havent got a chance to play it through my good amp but even through a crappy 10watt busker amp its very nice. im not a huge fan of the pearl pickguard atall, im looking for anyone whod be interested in a trade... the pg is perfect, protective plastic still on it and everything.

got in contact with alex from bass gallery anyway, he said he can match that price which is great but it took many many emails to find out how much delivery would be. does anyone else have this problem too?... cause anytime i order over the internet and have some questions it takes so long to get an answer out of the people. the first email i sent maybe had 3 questions in it, one gets answered so i have to ask the other two again and just keep going through this process till eventually i get an answer, i dont think they read past the first line of emails. if theyre busy its understandable but id prefer a slow but complete reply than having to annoy them and send 5 or 6 emails asking the same things over and again, it just makes more work for them. this happens any time i have any questions about a product and im not talking about little things i mean price, whats in stock, delivery etc. maybe its just me though. ive still got one question left to be answered from them wish me luck..
