what do you think of the bongo? id be interested to kwon since im thinking of getting a musicman- nice playing as well...im glad to see im not the only one who plays things as fast as i can

[Slappytime]

The bongo plays as great as the stingray. The preamp is just sick. Covers from wakaka to baaoorrrmmmm if you see what I mean.

at 1:02 it sounds like indian tribal warfare music :p

[acarroll1337]

Thank you SO much! this really helped me learn the YMCA chorus faster :D

[ChrisOfMetal]

@woodyboyone the bongo is INSANE. Highly recommended, if your pockets are deep enough!

[succubusch]

[20MadeMoiselle]

@xwalkingspasticx HAHAHAHAHA you are so right. XD

[gust0o]

@Slappytime Well, you were a lot more polite than I would have been - considering he's no videos of his own playing, I'd have told him to go bollocks. Keep up the good work, Slappy; no problems with your YMCA cover.
