the Bongo.... why oh why.......

This is a discussion on the Bongo.... why oh why....... within the Music Man Basses forums, part of the Gear Talk category; ok, so I'll admit, I do kinda prefer the feel of a StingRay 5 for fivers BUT why is it ...

    the Bongo.... why oh why.......

    ok, so I'll admit, I do kinda prefer the feel of a StingRay 5 for fivers BUT why is it every time I get some half-cocked idea to "mod" my Bongo so that it's less factory and more "tweaked" that before I can mod it I have a gig and ofcourse the Bongo delivers like the mofo that Dudley/Sterling and the DesignWorks team planned......
    dang it!! the bass just frickin' rips! and to be able to pan a little toward the bridge for our couple of burpy funk tunes and the solo the bridge for when we hit "Streets have no name" to get full Adam Clayton P-Bass wood.....man....

    thanks BP, y'all made a friggin' helluva bass (but I still can't wait for that Sterling Dual H!!!!)

    I'm keeping my SVT and picking up a Little Mark II when they come in. So I can have the modern sound and the classic sound...plus the LMII is like 7 lbs!!
