    I've seen a million basses, and I rocked them all!
    Currently rocking with Shakedown, exclusively on a 2008 Candy Red Bongo.

    Just finished practicing for two hours

    I can say the Bongo 5 is the best

    Of course, it would be nice if I tried the others

    Wow...I agree that there is no best.....even within each model..on the 25th Im partial to the hss but you want the monster truck of basses its the 2H...just Huge...crushes Priuses. Laughs at Hummers. Doesnt need two people for the carpool lane...sits where it wants...first in line in the buffet.
    Thanks, I needed that Big Poppa, my 25th 5HH has been on order since Aug 31st I can really get into monster trucks, I don't like Priuses, or Hummers, " I work for a Ford Dealer " I never use carpool lanes " We don't have any", I generally sit where I want, " cause I can " and the only reason that I am not first in line at the buffet is because my wife goes first! "After all she approved my order." Me and the 25th 5HH is gonna get along just fine!
    God is Great! and I am Blessed!
