Paul_C Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 This has been my all-time favourite bass for a few years now, but I'm not gigging and I hate to see it not being used I've got a few scratchplates for it kicking about which I'll throw in and that includes the current one with colour-matched ramp attached. no hard case, but there is a gig bag. £750 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Wow! I had a 4HH and a 5HS and always wished it were the other way around. These really are immense basses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deej Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I love the look and sound of Bongo's, but ive never had the chance to play one before. If I hadnt just bought a new bass, id have got this straight away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dub_junkie Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 that one looks more like lava pearl than DG. I prefer the sound of the 4HS I used to own to the 4HH I do now.There seems more variety of tone with the single coil in the neck when you turn the pan control and I also prefer the tone of the sc solo'd over the neck humbucker. I mustn't grumble though as both models are fantastic sounding - but the HS wins out in my estimation. great looking Bongo btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_C Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 yes, that one was Lava Pearl as far as I can remember - that one is long gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 In fact I think I might have owned the black one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
