    Bought Nick's MotorBass pedal, arrived the next day. Great price, pristine pedal, well packed and excellent comms made for a pain-free transaction. Top guy, recommended! JDJ

    Nice, I wondered who snatched it! (I saw it on GuitarGuitar website and tried to justify another fretless!) Hope it plays as good as it looks! 🤘

    No, I didn't get any additional invoices for import duty or VAT. The receipt from PayPal quoted €265, which was converted to £240.16, and that's what I paid. The pedal arrived yesterday evening via DHL. No other invoices or paperwork tacked on (unless they plan to send that out later!)

    I ordered one two weeks ago. Hopefully arriving either today or tomorrow. The pedal itself was €249, as shown above. Add €16 postage and it comes to €265. Factor in PayPal's rubbish conversion rate and it cost me £240.16, which isn't bad

    Thanks Rob, I would have had them if they had been regular long scale Cheers, Ian

    Hi robiredale, The header advertises the standard D'Addario EXL170-5 long scale strings, but the packet shows D'Addario EXL170-5SL Super Long strings. Is it the super long scale strings you're selling? Thanks

    Excellent basses, these Bongos. I have a 2003 HS 5-string in the same Desert Gold finish. As you pointed out, these are absolutely amazing things, and so easy to play - it's truly effortless, it almost plays itself! 🥰 Anyway, I'm off to convince myself that I don't need a matching 4-string Bongo! GLWTS! 🙂

    No, they're not. It's pretty standard, not to say perfectly acceptable, for a lined fretless to have the side dots between the fret markers.
  14. johnDeereJack
    This one. I think I missed it by a few hours... 😞
  15. johnDeereJack
    Wow, this is a really cool colour. I have a Bongo 5-string in Desert Gold, they're absolutely fantastic basses! Am really interested in your 4-string - I'll PM you :)
  16. johnDeereJack
    Well, either way, I reeeeeally like this bass... If it's still here at the end of the month, I may PM you!
  17. johnDeereJack
    Ah yes, of course it'll be 60's spacing if it's a JB62! Sorry, I must have missed that the first time around - too busy drooling over the pictures! 🤤 Am sure you won't have any trouble selling this, it's feckin gorgeous... in fact, I'm surprised it's still here! Incidentally, didn't these models come with the grounding strap between the bridge and the bridge pickup, or was that only the US 62RI basses? Thanks
  18. johnDeereJack
    Oh, why do you have such a gorgeous bass for sale, and why do you have to be in Edinburgh too? That's no fair, the temptation is overwhelming! Do you know if the pickup spacing is 60's or 70's?

    I had a 5-string 'The Jack Bass Custom' in natural around about 100 years ago in the 80's. loved that dammed thing and regret selling it. I've always thought about reacquiring one. Maybe some day... GLWTS
  20. johnDeereJack
    Tremendous basses! I'll see your 4-string and raise you my 5!
  21. johnDeereJack
    Oooh matron, that is lovely! 🤤
  22. johnDeereJack
    This would look really cool alongside my Bongo!
  23. johnDeereJack
    He didn't own it, but I met Sting and had him sign (and play) my custom Larkin Reacter fretless a few years ago. Turns out he has a 6-string Larkin from roughly the same year!

    I picked up a Bongo recently - a HS 5-string in Desert Gold (or 'shiny orange' as I like to call it!) Am really digging your pearloid blue with the white pearloid pickguard, very tasty! These are such good instruments, an utter joy to play... Even the styling is growing on me! Anyway, GLWTS - I'm sure whoever buys your Bongo will be more than happy!
