[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1404890169' post='2496646'] If anyone is looking at this bass and in two minds about it for any reason, as already mentioned, until very recently this bass used to be mine and I can personally vouch for it being a superb instrument in every way. This Bongo was literally like brand new when Chas got it from me, and I expect he has looked after it well in the interim period. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I bought this bass brand new early in 2012 and literally hardly played it during the time I had it. You might see slightly cheaper Bongos advertised elsewhere now and again, but this is a recent example that was in exceptional condition when Chas received it from me . It is also in the relatively rare gloss black finish ( it suits these basses [u][i]so[/i][/u] well) with a known ownership history and that makes it worth a little bit more. I am a massive fan of Bongo basses, and if you are looking for a bass with a punchy modern sound , fantastic playability and a bit of attitude and personality then I can't imagine you being disappointed with one of these. What I love most about the tone of these basses is the guts and sheer power they have , especially when compared to the overly polite sound of most hi tech active basses. I love using my Bongo for busy, up-front bass playing like was popular during my formative years in the 1980's, but you could just as easily play a mellow, laid back groove with one . These basses won't sound " vintage" or like a Fender in any way, but why would you want it to? The tone has got a hint of Stingray lurking in it , but has a much more focused and articulate midrange and a sweeter treble. The four band EQ with dual-band mids means you can get a very wide variety of very usable tones from these basses, but even with EQ flat, they are very musical and sound fatter than a greedy chav with a wife who works in the local chip shop ( Mrs Dingus works in a feminist bookshop . No free chips and I have to do the cooking for " idealogical " reasons, apparently ) I sold this bass to Chas just a couple of months ago because I have another bass the exactly same and currently have no need for two identical basses , but I wouldn't be without my remaining Bongo . Buy this one and use the 18 volt active circuit to pound your enemies into submission. Comes with a very nice moulded ABS Musicman-branded case that says " Bongo " on it , too. [/quote] And she's a cracker! I managed to pick it up the other day (don't tell the employer) and used it for some recording. I still found it really light but really light isn't light enough for me atm! I do have use for a guitar, but then again it'd just stare at me until I hurt myself trying to pick it up. I did think about pulling the sale last night. But I'll leave it a few days and see what goes on
