    You're gonna love it my friend.

    It is simply the best Bass I've owned to date. I have seen some nice Stingray's I would love to have but my Bongo 4H plays so well and sounds so good that I would be hard pressed to trade it away or sell it.

    G.A.S. is always lurking around every corner, and I try not to fall into temptation

    I enjoyed that. I also dig your comment about it not being really that useable in a band context. This is the reason I have never even tried to learn this technique.
