My new Bongo bass

First impressions are that it is really comfortable and light to hold, a whole more cuddly than other basses I have tried – MMs and other brands.

I would describe the tone as modern prog rock/soul rather than woody/vintage. Probably not a retro choice, although perhaps it could be versatile in the right hands

I guess my criticisms are the price, although not much more than Sweetwater are charging in the US and the very limited colour choice – it was this or a revolting purple – it seems Bongos don’t have a standard ‘neutral’ choice.
