beautiful and really interesting pickup positioning, I suspect I'd like that bass sound very much!

OK, I can't resist. Here's my orange one.

Juicy!

Lordy, that is spectacular.

My mate's got a couple of Bongos and is always trying to convert me. As he's left handed and I'm "NORMAL", it's not as if I can play his so I've yet to try one.

The function band's themed colour is Orange and one of these would be just fit the bill ;-)

That bloomin' DC gets everywhere

Yeah, I thought that orange bongo looked pretty sweet too!

Good spot sir Lol.

Yep every I speak to Funkle Dave, he tells me I should be getting a Bongo. When someone that good tells you to try something, it's probably worth trying.

It's all about what works for you - he's a thumper and I'm a tickler! Like chalk and cheese. The thing which interests me most about the Bongo though, is the circuit.

I need to get my 2013 Bongo 5 HH in this thread.

The Bongo is indeed a stunning bass. I am very very impressed. The pre-amp and pickups really are special.

I want an orange bass now

Cheers, not original finish, but I refinished it in Capri Orange, also I changed the black pickguard for an off-white one and added black screws to to make the whole thing consistent with the 'international series' that the Capri belongs to.
As I bought it stripped, and I kept all the original bits, I consider it no less original now :-)

You know, I saw this exact spec bass at an auction in Reading maybe 20 years ago. They had a matching Stratocaster up as well. I always wondered what it sold for. It did look awesome and that my friend looks lovely.
