i have been playing a fretted BN-6 F-bass in the past, i liked the fact of playing 6-string, but i couldn't agree with the sound of the BN-6 in a band situation, especially when performing live

the c & g strings sounded too mellow, not enough like a bass and they didn't had the "growl" i was looking for, they had treble etc.. but not the right type of treble, let's say not the cut-through-the-mix type of treble, in easier words: no funk sound

so being a big Musicman fan for almost 9 years, i can't wait to get a hold on a fretted Bongo-6!!!

just waiting for the piezo option on a fretless Bongo-6.....

**tkarter** · 06-24-2008, 06:58 PM

Are you?

Naw, the wait was to much, I'm done for.
Actually I didn't really think about it to much until Pete Emailed me saying it should be to him this Friday.
Maybe I should get myself a new amp to celebrate.

Pete hasn't emailed me yet dang it. I think you will be okay. Hang in there.

TK, I called and left a message & shot you an email last week - I'm expecting yours to arrive this week, also.

**tkarter** · 06-25-2008, 06:57 PM

I missed both. I will be sending email here shortly.

I am going to make it until the big day.

Has there been any information on when or if they will make a Bongo6 with piezo's? I've been searching for weeks and can't find any definitive answer, only that it can't be done on the sealth model for some reason or another.
I myself am furiously GAS'ing at the idea of a Fretless Bongo6 HHP.
