I just noticed this thread resurrection with some surprise. The Bongo is long gone. Thanks for asking though.

Those pics look... oh wait. Noooo. You're making me want it back. B.

Sold, pending the formalities. B.

Can hardly bear watching the Murray match anymore bump. B

Cheers Bilbo, I was beginning to think I'd mistakenly applied some sort of 'cloak of invisibility' to this thread! B. [quote name='Bilbo' post='1250499' date='May 30 2011, 05:16 PM']Mine was £1500 10 years ago (and I still Love it). This is dirt cheap.[/quote]

Oh, and I'm perfectly happy to listen to offers on this. You might catch me when I'm feeling generous and/or weak. B.

Bump for lower price. This really is an excellent amp. B.

Now effectively sold. Thanks so much to everyone for their interest, enthusiasm and some exceptionally tempting trades. B.

Cheers G! The Bongo is still available... B [quote name='bigsmokebass' post='1237400' date='May 19 2011, 08:56 PM']BUMP! pretty rare, in mint condition, beautiful bass going MEGA cheap and super friendly seller: cannot think of another reason for anyone not to buy this. all the best Ben, G[/quote]

My current, drummerless band means I need relatively minimal amplification at moment, so here's my very good Eden Metro. It's a brilliant combo, which has never failed to sound excellent. I'm sure you all know the specification so I won't go on about that. Generally very good condition, about the only thing to note is some scuffing on the plastic corner protectors (which I suppose is what they're for). Comes with a heavyish padded vinyl cover. You'd need to collect it from near Oxford, or I'd be happy to meet up if it's not [i]too[/i] far away. [b]£580[/b] seem fair? It's cheaper than the last one sold on ebay. I know I'm going to miss it but space at home has gone well beyond critical B.

Having said which... If anyone had a [i]fretless[/i] Streamer or Thumb 6 NT lying around unloved. Not terribly likely perhaps. B.

No harm in asking! I've actually got a couple of pretty special (well, to me) Warwicks already, so probably not, but thanks for suggesting it. Other PMs replied... Ben. [quote name='Stockholm Syndrome' post='1236144' date='May 18 2011, 07:09 PM']Can't hurt to ask; any interest in trading for a Warwick Corvette LTD 2002?[/quote]

Thanks! Mind you the pound is so weak it only works out to about €1360... B. [quote name='Krinks' post='1235955' date='May 18 2011, 04:41 PM']If it would've been 1200 € isntead of GPD i would instabuy it [/quote]

Now we're getting somewhere! Wild mushrooms? B. [quote name='fretmeister' post='1233757' date='May 16 2011, 10:21 PM']I do a fantastic Mushroom Stroganoff! None of that packet crap - properly from scratch![/quote]

Ah but what you didn't know is that I'm a long standing veggie Don't worry, we can still talk! B. [quote name='fretmeister' post='1233733' date='May 16 2011, 10:11 PM']I really want this. I'll add a bacon sarnie to my offer.... [/quote]

And PMd back... In a sudden flurry of activity this afternoon, the bass is now sold in principle. Thank you to everyone! B. [quote name='adledman' post='1233259' date='May 16 2011, 04:40 PM']pm,ed.[/quote]

Hi Matt! Yes, it was your one . I'm equally sad to be letting it go I must say but the sheer number of basses around here is getting fairly silly and the current band demands an upright. It'll be great when it finds its new home. Cheers B. [quote name='mattbass6' post='1233193' date='May 16 2011, 03:57 PM']I believe this was mine originally. A beautiful bass and wish I still had it for my collection. I bought it new in 2010 & was waiting quite a while for it. Quite gutted it had to go so soon. Lovely to play and a superb feel. Good luck with the sale and have a Beautiful Bongo Bump on me [/quote]

Thanks for the kind comments, and the bump! There [i]may[/i] be a deal in the offing but nothing's definite yet. Keep it coming... B. [quote name='mcgraham' post='1232841' date='May 16 2011, 11:08 AM']Can I just say that Bongos are supremely underrated basses, and that this is a steal. The best live sound I've ever heard from a bass (other than my own ) was from a Bongo 4H through a Schroeder. Solid fundamental that sits in a mix yet cuts through the mix at the same time... beautiful stuff. Best of luck moving it on![/quote]

PMs replied to and thanks to all. I'm thinking! B. [quote name='fretmeister' post='1232263' date='May 15 2011, 06:16 PM']You have pm.[/quote]

[quote name='Schnozzalee' post='1232223' date='May 15 2011, 05:37 PM']Thankyou! Not too bad then! The neck finish is unusual, kind of like a matt red but looks smooth and fast.[/quote] Yep, it's not a complete boat anchor and it's very well balanced with a strap. The neck finish is quite pleasant in fact - it's distinctly less 'grabby' than most high-gloss finishes I find.
