Paul_C Posted April 13, 2009 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
GreeneKing Posted April 13, 2009 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.

budget bassist Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 is that a desert gold? I'd do anything for that.... need a sex slave?
deej Posted April 14, 2009 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!

dub_junkie Posted April 14, 2009 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
Paul_C Posted April 14, 2009 Author Posted April 14, 2009 yes, that one was Lava Pearl as far as I can remember - that one is long gone
GreeneKing Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 In fact I think I might have owned the black one?
