    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.

    This one. I think I missed it by a few hours... 😞

    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 :)
  11. johnDeereJack
    Well, either way, I reeeeeally like this bass... If it's still here at the end of the month, I may PM you!
  12. 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
  13. 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

    Tremendous basses! I'll see your 4-string and raise you my 5!
  16. johnDeereJack
    Oooh matron, that is lovely! 🤤
  17. johnDeereJack
    This would look really cool alongside my Bongo!

    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!
  21. johnDeereJack
    If you can find one, definitely have another bash - I honestly find these basses incredibly comfortable, both sitting and standing. And yes, the shiny orange finish is superb - I've been singing the old 'Kia-Ora' advert: "It's too orangey for crows, it's just for me and my dog"! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqXfuZ_Sk_E
  22. johnDeereJack
    Incredibly, yes!
  23. johnDeereJack
    Surely the best idea would be to do it before we're all grounded? At least that way you'll have a nice new shine bass to keep you occupied! 😁
  24. johnDeereJack
    Yeah, I'm calling it orange!
  25. johnDeereJack
    Yeah, this one came with a black pearloid pickguard, but I took it off. I want as much of that lovely shiny orange (Desert Gold!) finish showing as possible, so I don't want a pickguard covering it up! 😁
