    - How much more black can a bass get?
    - None, none more black.

    Way cool, and yep I too know the feeling
    bovinehost: Yes, I do agree with that, but if there's nothing wrong then there's nothing wrong.
    Beth: I would compare Bongo to Tommy Lee Jones. Bad a$$ and just hot in a weird way...
    cheezewiz: They should take their lace thongs off and play bass.


    Stingray 5 Classic, coral red
    Bongo 5 H, Dargie Delight, in some cave somewhere...

    not quite true.. the washers between the strap pin and the body could have been black too

    MrM

    ps: congrats! the stealth hh is a mean machine. now go find some flatwounds and give it a try
    just put flats on the bongo!!
    just put roundwounds on your fretless!!

    eb customer support:
    E-mail: musicman_customerservice@ernieball.com
    Telephone: +1 866-823-2255

    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!

    I just recently picked up a Stealth Bongo just like that. I got it dirt cheap becauce of a busted volume knob which I was able to acquire through the fine folks @ EBMM customer service. I now have 4HH & 5HH Stealth Bongos.
