    Plus, those all rosewood neck BFR basses feel unbelievable. I'd have a hard time not playing that one no matter what the pickup configuration was.

    Because we are all individuals. We are all beautiful and unique snowflakes.

    Variety, it's what's fer dinner.
    Tom summed it up quite nicely. Shockingly, I find myself playing the HS Bongo for the last few months. In a couple of weeks, I'll probably go back to the single H for a while. When I'm feeling really adventurous, I break out an HH.

    I like them all. That certainly doesn't mean everyone will.

    Tried one the day I got the 25th Anniversary and the Sterling HS is on my list of next EBMMs!!!

    They all have their spot. Tried a Bongo 4H and it had a tone to kill. Nice and fat with a growl. Give it time

    Ditto (minus a string)... I so love my HHp!
