Cybergimp109 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 (edited) this spaceaged toilet seat appeared at my door yesterday.. tis very very nice, havent got a chance to play it through my good amp but even through a crappy 10watt busker amp its very nice. im not a huge fan of the pearl pickguard atall, im looking for anyone whod be interested in a trade... the pg is perfect, protective plastic still on it and everything.

Rayman Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 W[i]oooaahhhh[/i] that's stunning. If you were to only have [i]one[/i] bass for everything, surely a Bongo 6 would be the one to have. Beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howzit sound? Bet it's thunderous ...er like my arse [/quote] so would i, it sounds great but so far ive only heard it through a crappy busker amp thing i have which cant handle anything and also some headphones through a pedal.. even through them it sounds great but this weekend ill get to try it out with my gallien krueger rig... i will cry very nice bass its the most expensive thing ive ever owned, its pretty heavy and has a slight bit of neck dive but worn high its nto really a problem.

budget bassist Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 gorgeous! i think a black pearl pickguard would look good on that. Same for black ice if they hadn't discontinued it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I have to say I like the white pearl on there. It might look a bit [i]too[/i] black with a black guard. [i]Cream[/i] Pearl would look fab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the contrasting guard (and the chrome hardware) to the all black ones - makes it look more like......a MusicMan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geilerbass Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Very nice! I'd love to try one of these out at some point - the 4 and 5 string versions are really nice to play, so it'd be interesting how this translates to 6 strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budget bassist Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 What colour is it by the way? is it graphite pearl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergimp109 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 its sapphire black, i didnt have much choice on the colour it was either take it as it is or wait 4 months for what chose. got it from the bassgallery they matched an online price so got it for 1600 sterling. way better than thomann or any oif those, prices on thomann a while back were 2600, they suck these days.

niceguyhomer Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 That's a good price - where do you live? I'm guessing it's not the UK?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it's not the UK??[/quote] no im in ireland, prices here are sh*t, and theres nothing in shops anyway. most shops just have starter stuff and a few mid level things overpriced(and only fenders stuff usually with the mid level stuff) so i bought this without ever trying even a 4 string bongo.. so glad it wasnt a piece of crap when it arrived. sold my SUB which i loved to get money for this, well worth it. shipping was only 20 sterling so very happy with the whole thing.

JimBobTTD Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Nice - congrats on the new bass. I hear great things about the Bongos, plus a lot of criticism of their appearance. Mind you, I'm positively drooling over the Ibanez in that last pic you have. Mmmmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
