...Was it bought Shop soiled ?  or is this down to personal use?

Not a bass that you want to re-lick 👅 🤮

I had one of these once but sold it.  My wife was always complaining that I never put it down.

Beat you to that one, I’m afraid. 🙂

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!

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!

Sorry matey, it's only white ones with black scratchplates that really make the grade.

Surely black with a white scratchplate would even better.

Genius! I nearly wet myself. a few other variants "On Bog", "No Bog"

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.

Only if you have a working class loo with a black seat, now I'm posh I have a loo with a white seat 🙂

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.

[Stub Mandrel]

Isn't it time someone put a lid on it?

[mep]

I'd love to buy it, but I'm not flush with any money right now.

[SzunaP]

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?

Time to clear the room. This thread is about to go to page number 2.

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 😂?).

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

Loving this thread, however unhelpful 😂

Not wanting toi-let this escalate further but saw its brother on eBay today:

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!

I'm genuinely very interested, is the bass still available?

Pending a reply, have a dump, I mean bump (sorry) 😁
