    What EBMM bass do I want next?

    I'm trying to decide. I know they're like Pokemon, in that I wanna collect 'em all, so I'll eventually get all of them. Just gotta decide which is next.


    I have a single-pickup SR5 in Tobacco Burst. I don't know if I want a 2 pickup or a single pickup model. Is there really that much of a difference? I've never heard a 2 pickup EBMM before.

    What do you already have?
    I'd say a Bongo though, if you don't already have one. If so, then Sterling, then SR5, then SR.

    I have an SR5. It's a single pickup, though. I don't know if the extra pickup is worth it but I'd like to try it out.

    Bongo HH fretted
    or
    Bongo HH with Piezos fretless.

    The 2nd is what I want next, unless I get an SR5 in a trade soon.

    The Collective recommends that you obtain a Bongo. All other basses are irrelevant.
