My NBD arrived yesterday - a rather tasty MM Bongo. Plays beautifully and looks the biz - it has a subtle light sparkle in the colour!! The fretboard is roasted and figured maple and there’s no pickguard. It appears to have taken exactly 10 days from build to reaching me - this was a direct order through their ‘Vault’ on line system - as was the long scale TC passive Stingray I bought - seems to be a seamless process. I’m sure it’ll be first choice for wedding gigs 😀

What a stunning bass. I've always wanted to try a Bongo, they look like they'd be very comfortable.

This white one reminds me of something...

Thanks @Stingray5 - it most certainly is. My favourite 5 string (although I really love my Stingray 5s also!).

 

Being so light and also the shape of the Bongo is so ergonomic, it feels very very easy to play - the stuff of dreams haha!! Not sure when it’s going to get a gig though currently 😕

Yep, I hear you @drTStingray - on all counts. Mind you, I have to say a Bongo (though probably the 6-string) has been at the top of my own wish-list for some time now and seeing posts like yours simply adds to the GAS! ;)

Six identical posts ramming the message down our throats over and over seemed appropriate to the subject....

 

EXTERMINATE………..

 

Yes I’d presumed site idiosyncrasies when I saw them as well ha ha.

This bass looks absolutely awesome!! Congrats!

Oh and you are a baaaaaaaaaaad person! I am trying to sell some basses, playing mostly fretless now... But still I had to go look up this Vault you mentioned. I've seen some amazing basses including the same model as yours at prices that are not cheap, but not as prohibitive as I would have expected... 😅🙃 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH
