I really liked the look of that outgoing one.

absolutely. 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.

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?

100% at BassDirect. Already checked with them, it's on PX so I think we can assume that The Bass Gallery don't keep their stock current.

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.

The only things I’ll never sell are my bag end cabs but the rest of the stuff I have is just so needed… 🤔

All a journey.

 

I’m excited about the bongo. Very much so.

 

Hopefully after the efforts in getting hold of it - my memory is 100% correct.

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).
