    EDIT:

    You can just barely hear JM and the Bongo 6HS. He has a little "solo" bit, where you can hear him pretty clearly.

    See URL in next post.

    I heard JM and his Bongos perfectly clearly tonight in Phoenix. I didn't think the transition to the Bongo would have such an immense impact on his tone and presence in the mix, but it did. It's 1000x better.

    That 6 looks enormous in those photos. Too much bass for me. I like a 4.

    I think the Bongo 6 is too much for me too. I'm thinking 4H when I finally get one. I agree it looks huge, not disproportional, but huge! Heck, I think it looks huge when Poppa plays it. I think it looks good, though.
