Bassassin Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Always wondered how & why MM arrived at 'Bongo' as a name for these. Did a bit of research & it turned out to be a simple typo. GLWTS! 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard R Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 They are not conventionally pretty, but everything I have read about these says they are great basses, especially for live rock. I'd love to try one, but not right now. GLWTS! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 If it is still around at the end of lockdown would certainly be interested assuming some things sell, but obs cant travel to Gosport (or anywhere really) until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Krow Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 You're plopping me right? Can't believe this still hasn't sold! There's clearly a fair bit of constipation in the market right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SzunaP Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Isn't this used by Myung in DT, is it? The 6str version. Since he's changed for it, the bass sound became very well hearable, am I wrong? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drTStingray Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) I haven't visited the for sale thread recently - 64 replies and only a couple asking about or referring to the bass for sale! Ive got one of these and it's great (mind you anyone referring to it as a bog seat is likely to get to feel it's weight directly rather than through its sound 😬 ) spookily in my experience the only people in the real world who think they look like bog seats tend to be occassional bass players who usually play old Fender basses often painted in a colour resembling poo of sorts - normal people (and it seems a selection of some of the 64 members replying to this thread have a major lavatory fetish) don't seem to have this problem, at least referring to mine far more positively! Anyway GLWTS! And have a bump on me!! No doubt the lavatory fetish guys will be back shortly 😏 unfortunately not to buy your bass!! (PS the moderation seems to be a bit lax here (not laxative though - ouch 😂?). Edited January 28, 2021 by drTStingray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub_junkie Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 They’re brilliant playing (and sounding) basses no doubt. I’ve owned a few and the necks have all been consistently good. The action on my 4H is lower than any of my other basses and I find it inspiring to play. GLWTS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman666 Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 Cheers for all the good words about these basses chaps! Toilet puns aside it is a lovely bass and surprisingly versatile due to the eq/pickup configuration! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mace Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I'm genuinely very interested, is the bass still available? Pending a reply, have a dump, I mean bump (sorry) 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
