Eljay Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 [i]I really wanted the burst Bongo but the UK doesn't seem to get involved with the Ltd instruments quite so much. [/i] Really? Surprised, that's a shame; they should.Think they will have the roasted necks as well. [i]That's nice Eljay. A man with taste.[/i] Certainly is a killer bass, I think the Mahogany adds some deep resonance, all the better with the awesome Bongo eq. EBMM had the taste to [i]build[/i] this beaut, I just got up early enough to [i]buy[/i] it when they offered it and a few other one-offs for sale at the BASSPLAYER LIVe event held a few years back!

Is there any paint left on it? [/quote] The really strange thing is that it is as close to mint as you could get! Perhaps this is actually the only Bongo 4HH that has been made in this colour and everyone just thinks there are loads of them :-) CB Edited July 18, 2012 by cloudburst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudburst Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 Played the Bongo live at an event in O2 Glasgow on 30th November. Listened to the DVD today for the first time and I have to say I'm really happy with the tone. I'm pretty high up the mix too, without being overpowering. It's not often you get to feel happy with the sound of your own bass, and I normally hate listening to myself - so respect to the Bongo! Here's a photo. I will attempt to post the video when I can.

cloudburst Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Just realised when buying something tonight from ryancowell25, that my Bongo has been around even more folk than I originally thought! How it's so mint is beyond me. Doesn't even have the obligatory headstock chip. :-) Here's its path...

drTStingray Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Mine is well travelled also originating in the USA from a now deceased EBMM forum member. I'm the third owner, having bought it from a UK based EBMM and Basschat member. Perhaps they all are!! Anyway I'm going to use the Bongo on my next gig and follow your advice on EQ settings to approximate a Precision sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 [quote name='cloudburst' timestamp='1341876251' post='1725664']Singer - she loved it. Wanted it even further up the mix. Further up the mix indeed And the guitarist seemed a bit put out. CB [/quote] There's a joke in there somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Mark Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Got my first gig tonight with my recently acquired 4H. Loving the 18v 3 band pre at practice volumes. Just hope it keeps the powerful delivery at gigging levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
