    Anyone else seeing Rancid tonight? Not seen them in years! Looking forward to getting sweaty in the pit!
  3. binky_bass
    Definitely not short scale! Not measured it but it's no less than 34" that for sure!

    And you just won't die!!! 😂

    Better pics now added!

    Well, let me know if you have readies that are close to the asking amount of readies! Not too often a Faux Gretsch (Grinch?) pops up!

    Now on eBay (Well, as of 7pm tonight).

    Thought so. I'm the one being held by that doushce with the sunglasses...

    You're the one on the shoulder of that bearded guy right?

    I bought this fairly recently, but as I've just bought a new bike (I know, NOT a bass!) I need to recoup some funds. It's a Chinese made faux 'Gretsch' White Falcon, its been properly set up, it plays really well, it has a 'kill switch' on the upper bout, the action is really nice and low, no dings or dents, all in a great playing bass. Looking for £200 for it, I can post if need be as I have a few boxes (but no case!). Call it £220 shipped or £200 collected from Wickford, Essex.

    To chime in again, these older eden heads are great bits of kit. I've been right round the houses over the years, from the actual heaviest amps in the world to the lightest and now I'm back to the heavier ones because they just frankly sound better! Currently running an older Mesa rig and it just kills against Trickfish and GR Bass, not to say those aren't superb amps, but honestly, the older heavier stuff just rocks.

    @BITE Guitars - those headstocks look great!

    Any chance this is our friend Mick Mason?

    No. The Bongo is absolutely immense and in immaculate condition. The ACG was a superb bass, and definitely no less of a bass than the Bongo. However, I own 4 ACGs still and rarely used the 30.5" one since getting my two 33" ones. So to swap out one ACG that I didn't use for a Bongo BFR that I will use, while still retaining 4 ACGs that I do use seemed sensible. No regrets for now!

    You shall be awaiting a long time sir! I won't be going all Henry The 8th on this bass any time soon!

    The Basschat gods are mocking me... I bought the bass bits of these exact strap locks new the other day, within minutes a used full set came up here (that I ended up buying!) and now the counter part to the bass bits I bought from new has come up separately! Stupid Basschat... 😆

    Sometimes retailers won't move on price, but may lob in some extras... GuitarGuitar threw in 2 sets of Rotosound SM666 strings with my recent purchase, worth a good £80 or so. Always worth an ask!

    I find the spacing quite comfortable to be fair! But then again, I did have an 8 string Noguera that had 20mm spacing... that was a bit much!

    So here it is... Number 23 of 72 - A Ball Family Reserve USA Music Man Bongo 6. It is ridiculously good. I was VERY sceptical as to whether I'd made a good or bad choice buying this, but DANG, it's a monster. The tone is like nothing I've played before, (and I've owned a Bongo 6 before!) it cuts like a hot knife through the mix, the pallette of tones is exceptionally good and really easy to dial in. The neck is probably the nicest neck I've felt, and it's not half bad to look at! It's on another level this beast... I totally agree the aesthetics are very much Marmite, but I think I might just be on the 'love' side of that arguement! I'm very pleasantly surprised by this bass. I was expecting it to be a great bass, as well it should be for the RRP, but I wasn't quite expecting it to be a phenomenal bass...

    It has arrived... the neck is obscene. Time to go plug it in and give it a bit of a set up.

    Don't we know someone who's an expert in Bongo headstock extraction? 🤔
