Bongo Pickups

[dubbeats cb]

Are the Bongo pickups tappable? I mean can i put a coil tap for each one? I know each individual pcikup runs in parallel(I think) but it would be pretty cool to be able to make each one a single coil and have like a jazz sound, or run each one in series for kicks.

Any thoughts if it can be done

Sure it can. Remove a pick up and look on the underside, you'll see what to do. It'll void warranty though...

i kinda figured that on the warranty thing, has anyone done this and liked the outcome. I'm not sure i wanna be the first and find out it was a dumb idea

Take this to the bank:

The guys at EBMM are smarter than we are and we should not second-guess them.

Do what you want...it's your bass after all...but IMHO, yeah, it's a dumb idea.

I'll second that!

IMO, the tone-shaping abilities of the Bongo's EQ make things like coil-tapping unnecessary.

I am guessing it could be done. I would not personally do that...but that is me. I would research it first with a professional luthier, just to make sure you know exactly what it would entail. Just to check is free....but still, I would not do it.

It should be possible, it's up to you to do it or have a pro do it for you.
