It’s staying in the Basschat family with @Eldon Tyrell Waiting for the courier (man and van) to pass through Manchester - slow boat…better than “lost or smashed” boat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan was a 5 string bongo - but this totally shook me as it’s the bongo in my head…desert gold 4HH. I still need a 5, and the one at bass direct is winking at me. Think SR5 will be offered up to achieve that step as bb1600 is slow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent my weekends trawling the internet on the search for an EBMM Stingray 4H, 2EQ, natural, maple fingerboard, with arm and body contours (so, no pre-EBMM and no Classic). One of the places I regularly check is the Bass Gallery and they don't have my 2EQ SR but they do have the same Bongo 5HH in Egyptian Smoke that Bass Direct lists. Yes, it is exactly the same bass. I checked the serial number - F07975. Interesting, how can the same bass be in two different shops and for two different prices (£1,399 vs £1,200) at the same time? https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass/products/ernie-ball-music-man-bongo-5 https://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Bongo_5HH_SH.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already checked with them, it's on PX so I think we can assume that The Bass Gallery don't keep their stock current. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 Well…bongo 5 quest is on hold. Went to the studio today with the Stingray 5. it just works. And I picked up something else today which needed saving and has cost me a bit to make right: so the bongo has a “brother”. all will become clear soon enough.

NancyJohnson Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I had a 5HH, same/similar colour. Honestly wish I'd persisted with it rather than just trying to better my bass collection (I did move it along to fund my Thunderbird obsession).
