Bing, Bing, Bing! is a 1995 (see 1995 in music) album by jazz musician Charlie Hunter. This was his first album for the Blue Note label and features his 8-string guitar.

The cover is a retro homage to Horace Parlan's 1960 album, Speakin' My Piece. The neon sign, 500 Club, is a landmark bar in San Francisco's Mission District, a few blocks away from the Elbo Room nightclub where the trio made a name for themselves (see Track 10).
