el gongoma
the electric version of a gongoma, the bass version of a mbira (africa) or kalimba (latin america). with a full sound, full bodied and rich in support, they fill the low frequencies well, blocking with the fingers lends itself well to funky accompaniments. connecting the gongomes to a guitar amplifier produces sounds similar to a les paul type guitar. - 1 - el gongoma 1 is made from a single block of African doussié, unbranded electric bass humbucker pickups, steel reeds and Japanese electronics. - 2 - el gongoma 2 is carved from a block of European walnut, willkinson humbucker pickups for bass, steel reeds and Japanese electronics.
