dub_junkie Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Finally decided this has to go so if i cant move it here or on the EBMM boards in the next week it will be ebay'd I gigged it for the first time last night and I just cant get on with the neck p/up placement at all.next week I'm going back to my Sterling H anyway this bass is phenomenal sounding and is a pretty rare example in white.On the MM forum I read they had issues at the factory colour matching the neck and body and this sounds about right.the neck is stark white whilst the body is more of a cream colour.This bass also has "Custom made" engraved on the neck plate.The bass is from June 2004 the Bongo has no issues at all bar a tiny little bit of paint having come away from the tip of the headstock(about 1mm or so) It comes with the EBMM hard case. Looking for £675 will do a trade/part ex/swap for a nice StingRay,another Sterling,USA Jazz S1,G&L etc cheers DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 By far the best looking Bongo I've seen. Reckon it would look even better without the pickguard. Great bass the Bongo as well, sold my 5er as I was moving back to 4 strings and that white is really making me think! I can't, but it's lovely Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should also mention I'd swap for a Bongo with the single H as well if someone out there has one and fancies a bit of extra tonal options DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one wants to part with them I like the look of the Bongo. Never played one. They're something a bit different. I really want a bass with a maple fretboard though. Hmmm.
