    Bongo Fever

    I have owned 3 so am qualified to comment. The electrics really are something else. If I could buy those seperately I would be all over them like a bad rash. Stupendous sound. The lower horn dug into my leg when sitting down. I play sitting down enough for it to be an issue so am no longer Bongoed up. It does roar though.
  2. Strung with Roto Trubass strings (the black plastic coated ones. Super light and lots of fun to play. Great for small hands. Black. I have pics but cannot make my phone talk with photobucket at the moment so will get them up when I have sorted that.
  3. [quote name='zero9' timestamp='1363037118' post='2007506'] Great amp, have a bump on me. Btw, I think this particular model puts out 400W at 4 Ohm and 500W at 2 Ohm. [/quote] I am more or less certain that the OP's specs regarding power are correct. I already have an AI otherwise I would be buying this one. Very few of the small heads go down to 2 Ohms. This is a steal.
  4. Sorry, would clipping be a better word to use than distortion?
  5. The aesthetics are the best. I am a miserable old Fender bloke. There are very few newer shapes that work for me but the Ritter stuff is just so beautifully designed that it hits the spot. His finishes are always spot on. He is pushing in directions which no one else seems to.be doing. I owned one for a bit and it was an exceedingly fine axe and would have several more if money was no object. The Monroe bass with F holes and a really nice piezo system would be lush beyond. If it existed.
  6. It is not too many watts that does nasty things to cabs, it is too few being driven into distortion. I used to drive an NV610 with an 800w amp for many happy hours.
  7. Bump for fine cabs at silly money
  8. I would be happy to organise the thing in Bangor, North Wales, but feel we would probably not reach critical mass. You can be certain about the rain. How many would we need to make it happen?
  9. Mmmmmm metalflake red with matching headstock, body binding and RW board. With a B. I would struggle to not buy that.
  10. I have one. I initially got sucked in by the aesthetics, then one appeared on here in a pic of something else for sale and one thing led to another............. I really like it. The killer blow for me is the sensitivity knob. I am useless at turning sound into words but it just makes the sound more vibrant/3D/dynamic. I like it enough to shift a Demeter, Alembic, REDDI and and Aguilar on (it would appear that I have issues). That is not to say that the sound I like is the sound you like but it is doing it for me at the moment. I had a small tech issue with it and Jule's customer service - remember, this is to someone who bought it second hand so he has not seen a penny from me - has been WAY beyond the call of duty. It has just been stellar. I cannot speak highly enough of it. It is a quality pre from a quality company.
  11. Sorry, it's gone. I should have updated. I will do so now.
  12. I asked Andy about a bespoke job recently and he said that he was not doing them for the forseable future.
  13. There is nothing like a great set of pictures, and these are nothing like a great set of pictures but hopefully will give you the right idea.

  14. I recognise that bridge! I have one in black from Canada. The piezo element on the D is not quite seated properly which is a pain cos it is quieter than the rest. Did you have any problems? Thanks
  15. The Piezo sound you always wanted but never found is sitting in this Bolin.
  16. [quote name='steve-soar' timestamp='1361228220' post='1983309'] Makes me feel so sad. [/quote] Sorry
  17. [quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1360156645' post='1965715'] Welcome! You're yet another one from Wales. [/quote] WORLD DOMINATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  18. [quote name='Ramirez' timestamp='1360924276' post='1978328'] I'm in north west Wales. Pretty much far from everyone! [/quote] Apart from Redstriper and me bump
  19. 16 posts into the thread. I am disappointed that no one has discussed how hard it is to play after drinking for 24 hours. This has been a real missed opportunity.
