margusalviste Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 A Happy New Year to all of us! I wonder how many Bogart bass owners are there in BassChat? Well, let's count in the Slapper owners as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Freaky finish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margusalviste Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Yes, strange finish I have to admit too (doesn't seem so bad in real life) but this bass surpasses my other high end basses both playability and sound wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

margusalviste Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Oh, let me know about the specs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Pretty bog standard spec for a Bogart - 2 Bartolini pickups, Noll three band EQ, composite body, 34" scale carbon fibre neck. It's a superb bass - my other two basses are Zons & the Bogart is definately in the same league as them construction & playability-wise. I don't like the Noll preamp as much as the Polyfusion preamps in the Zons, but the Bogart sounds so good in passive mode I never use it anyway.

margusalviste Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 What's the string spacing at the bridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I think it's 16mm, which is weird because it feels & looks wider than that. I certainly wouldn't describe it as "narrow". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister cbass Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Hello, Here's my babies MM version is a blackstone 2012 and the JJ version is a blackstone from 94-95. Both sound great, but I prefer the JJ version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painy Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Are they still making these? A friend of mine bought a couple direct from Bogart a few years back and was apparently told he was getting the last completed one and the other would have to be cobbled together from left over parts as they were stopping production from what I remember! My old bass teacher (who owned some truly beautiful basses) always said the best bass he ever played was a Bogart and it was on his recomendation - my friend was also one of his students - that my friend bought them.

Chris2112 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Yes, I believe there was a hiatus for a while and they are now being made again. Much like Schack basses, although I don't think Schack do carbon fibre stuff anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister cbass Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Bogart is rising ( since 2009 ), here is the new website :[url="http://www.bogart-bass.de/"]http://www.bogart-bass.de/[/url] I prefer the "95 version" , but it's personnal. The setting is different on the two bogart. The MM version sounds more bright in my head, the JJ sounds " darker" . two great basses in my opinion, but of course you must love to touch and play a carbon neck. But the work and material on these beauties are really serious : bartolini pups, NOLL preamp, ETS bridge and knobs ( ABM on the old version),very good finish, comfortable, separate compartements for the preamp and the battery ( without screw), the cavity is reinforced with copper....etc. ---> in the nineties, bogart made the carbon neck for schack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Clayton Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I've got a Bogart 5-string. I picked it up from Mansons at the London Bass Show 2012. It was a horrible black and blue paint splatter effect when I got it, but I had it refinished in a midnight blue metallic colour. You can see it in this video, which is my rendition of Alain Caron's 'D-Code'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDcc2zD62Ag Gorgeous bass to play!
