Malcspring1 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Hey folks, My Bongo arrived a couple of weeks ago after a wait of 6 months and I have been unable to put it down. What a stunning instrument. Absolutely beautiful and what a huge, huge sound. So versatile. Bright, clear and thunderous when required. There is going to be no hiding place with this. I am really going to be on top of things with it as it picks up absolutely everything. It is certainly going to make me a better player because of it. I even had it feeding back like a mother at one point. Screaming like a jet engine. Awesome. I know my Bongo and I are going to be spending many happy hours together. Oh and please forgive my sad attempt at humour with the first picture. Being a reformed drummer I thought it would be appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 What an amazing colour. Where did you order from? I love my Bongo basses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcspring1 Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 Hey Musicman20. I got it from my local MM dealer in Keighley, Yorkshire. The guy who owns the shop is a friend of mine as well. I originally ordered it in Tangerine Pearl, but I found out in February that they were doing this colour (Chilli Red) for 2016, so I managed to change it in time. It is such a vivid red. Stunning. Almost like pillar box red. The 6 months wait has been worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcspring1 Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 The pictures don't do it justice. In the flesh it is amazing. So vibrant. I am still pinching myself even now. It has exceeded all my expectations. My bass playing buddy and also the guy who own the shop from where I got it from (who is another good friend) have both been blown away with it. It is a wonderful instrument. Quite possibly the best £1700 I have ever spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
