What EBMM bass do I want next?

[joshbrake]

I'm trying to decide. I know they're like Pokemon, in that I wanna collect 'em all, so I'll eventually get all of them. Just gotta decide which is next.


I have a single-pickup SR5 in Tobacco Burst. I don't know if I want a 2 pickup or a single pickup model. Is there really that much of a difference? I've never heard a 2 pickup EBMM before.

 

[saxnbass]

What do you already have?
I'd say a Bongo though, if you don't already have one. If so, then Sterling, then SR5, then SR.

 

[joshbrake]

I have an SR5. It's a single pickup, though. I don't know if the extra pickup is worth it but I'd like to try it out.

 

[saxnbass]

Bongo HH fretted
or
Bongo HH with Piezos fretless.

The 2nd is what I want next, unless I get an SR5 in a trade soon.

 

[joshbrake]

Is the Bongo 6 going to be released this year? I might wait for one of those bad boys...

 

[saxnbass]

Supposed to be during Summer NAMM, from what I hear. Along with the Sterling 5.

 

[joshbrake]

Ooh. I think I might wait for the Bongo 6. I can't wait to try the first 6 string Musicman!

Sabre.be different

either Bongo HS or HH imo - far enough away from what you have right now

Komp

 

[Dr Stankface]

HS Sterling.

 

[mynan]

HS Sterling.

Wah???

 

[Dr Stankface]

Wah???

No. No wah. I don't like effects.

 

[adouglas]

The Collective recommends that you obtain a Bongo. All other basses are irrelevant.

 

[adouglas]

We agree.

 

[adouglas]

Listen to them! They're right! Bongo all the way!

And yeah, Bongo...

 

[adouglas]

Hidey-ho, neighbor.

Y'know, Tim, that adouglas character speaks the truth. He also knows how to face the world.

 

[Dr Stankface]

You're JUST hitting 2k?

Man, I feel like a post whore.

To try to answer your question...I've never played an H SR5, but there is a big difference in the tone when switching from the bridge pup to the neck pup on my HH.

No matter what anyone else tells you, listen to me.

Because certain models are shown at NAMM does NOT mean they'll be on the shelves the following week.

Don't worry about the Bongo 6 or the Sterling 5 just yet. Focus on all the wonderful things that are available right here, right now (sorry for the Jesus Jones quote).

Unsuprisingly, I voted Bongo.

There must be a reason for that
