    I was SR 5 to the core until I got my Bongo 5 H. The Anniv. SR5 needs to show me something before i am really hooked. Not saying I won't be but my bongo gets all the play time.

    tk
    It is all fun.

    We got a 30th SR in here too, and that thing sounds THICK. Now I want one of those, too. I'll be ordering a Blue Dawn Bongo....
