    I got my Bongo !

    I picked up my LE 2007 Lefty Bongo on Saturday and I'm loving every sparkle of it. Now I know you all know that already, but man.... What a bass...

    Thank you Roburardo and Psycho Ward for your advice some months ago, and thank you AJ for answering all my questions every step of the way, and of course thank you JR from B-Street Music in San Mateo, CA.

    Oh, and thank you Ernie Ball for making such great instruments !

    just put flats on the bongo!!
    just put roundwounds on your fretless!!

    trussrod adjustment:
    Click here for an image!
    less relief / flatter = lower action
    more relief / bow = higher action
    do NOT use cheap tools to adjust with. they might break and scrape up your pressious!
    also, if you are lucky enough to have a 100th namm sr4: the truss works the other way around on that one!
