tonyf Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 [quote name='Urban Bassman' timestamp='1384793778' post='2280791'] OK, I can't resist. Here's my orange one. [attachment=148698:Bongo 5 Tangerine.JPG] Juicy! [/quote] Lordy, that is spectacular. My mate's got a couple of Bongos and is always trying to convert me. As he's left handed and I'm "NORMAL", it's not as if I can play his so I've yet to try one. The function band's themed colour is Orange and one of these would be just fit the bill ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyf Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Good spot sir Lol. Yep every I speak to Funkle Dave, he tells me I should be getting a Bongo. When someone that good tells you to try something, it's probably worth trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It's all about what works for you - he's a thumper and I'm a tickler! Like chalk and cheese. The thing which interests me most about the Bongo though, is the circuit.

Musicman20 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I need to get my 2013 Bongo 5 HH in this thread. The Bongo is indeed a stunning bass. I am very very impressed. The pre-amp and pickups really are special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange working well with maple and white there. is it Capri Orange? [/quote] Cheers, not original finish, but I refinished it in Capri Orange, also I changed the black pickguard for an off-white one and added black screws to to make the whole thing consistent with the 'international series' that the Capri belongs to. As I bought it stripped, and I kept all the original bits, I consider it no less original now :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1384554616' post='2278251'] [/quote] You know, I saw this exact spec bass at an auction in Reading maybe 20 years ago. They had a matching Stratocaster up as well. I always wondered what it sold for. It did look awesome and that my friend looks lovely.
