fretmeister Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) These are Ben's pics - hope he doesn't mind. film on scratch plate has been taken off, but other than that - all is the same. Wonderful thing, but I have discovered something that I really really need, so almost everything is potentially for sale!! 18 Volt circuit, 4 band EQ (Low, low-mid, high-mid, Treble), vol, pan. Very low action indeed, with a neck profile that makes it easier to play than any 5 string I've owned. There are not many of these around, they retail at £2150.00 and are about £1800 street price. This bass is genuinely as new. Absolutely perfect condition, has the proper "BONGO 6" hardcase with all the case candy. [s]£1250.00[/s] ono + delivery / collection from Northants. [s]Now £1150.00 + delivery.[/s] [size=3][color="#FF0000"]Now at £1100.00 Delivered in the UK[/color][/size] No trades unless you have an NS Design OmniBass 4 string. ta Paul.

B.[/quote] Same petrol station then??..... ;-) I do love it, but just after selling my last one, I find I need an EUB and I'm settled on the NS OmniBass. Not a sign of a used one, so it will have to be new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Bump. I've been exchanging emails with the Bass Gallery in Camden who reckon £1500 in the shop would be about right, so after his 15% commission the price appears to be bang on. So - £1150.00 to BC'ers then! ta Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golchen Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I gotta say that the bongo looks soooo cool as a 6. I just don't know what I'd do with that extra string though???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Bizarrely, I can't get on with 5 strings at all, but this was a lot easier. The neck shape is perfect, and I have pretty small hands. I've had Status, Stingrays, Warwicks Washburn etc etc 5 strings and this is easier than all of them. You are welcome to visit to try it out. I make a mean bacon sarnie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbass6 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 You're making me want it back as well. This was initially mine and I sold it to Ben. Such a pity that it's not settling in for anyone, including me. A beautiful bass and good luck with the sale. I hope it finds a permanent home soon and doesn't appear here again or I might just have to have it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 Anybody? Make me an offer by all means - otherwise I'll have to get it down to the Gallery to sell on commission. ta Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platypus Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Thats a very good price for what is a great 6 string. I played a Bongo 6 at the London Music Show a few years ago and it was very impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proy900 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) oh... ohh.... ..... oh no, i've made a mess in my pants. That is beautiful! Having previously owned Musicman basses they are by way and far the best machines for comfort. Played a bongo 6 at an event earlier this year and i understand what you mean when it feels better than a 5 especially in the nose bleed frets! Best of luck with selling a bass i would have to riot just to have any chance of ever affording one. BIBBIDY-BUMP-BUMP-DE-BEURGH <-Brian Badonde sponsored bump!!!
