Thanks in advance.

Not that it applies to me, but will the Bongo 6 be available fretless? I'm sure Myung at least has one, for songs like "Through Her Eyes"

I'd love to see one

 

[Dargin]

It is offered, but I don't think we have gotten any orders.

Bongo 6

I would like to know if the Bongo 6 will be available in the stealth color scheme.
Thanks!

Maybe if a bunch of us lefty's all yell BONGO6 over and over again, we may get lucky!!!

 

[PzoLover]

The Sterling 5 looks great, can't wait to find out how
PS - Chuck, hopefully they'll make em' backwards so you can partake in Knucklehead Christmas.

and besides, we wouldn't want you feeling "Leftout"

Bongo 6 H 4-band?

I see the Bongo 6 is not available with Piezo. Does that mean there won't be any single humbucker version with the 4 band EQ on it? Given that the single humbucker is positioned differently than either of the humbuckers on the HH version (and it's cheaper ) It'd be a shame. Also are there any plans of piezo for the Bongo 6 in the future? I know I may not get this answer, I'm just trowing it out there and see what happens

AFAIR, I've seen John Myung playing a single H version. And it absolutely rocked! (more then the double pickup Bongo 6 he used in other songs).

Given that the single H is kind of a "MusicMan Trademark" configuration, and also BP preferred config for the Bongo, I'd be really surprised if it was not available.

BFR Rosewood SR4 question: I know the body is Ash, but what's the finish on it? Anyone got pics of the back of one?

That's not what he's asking. The only way to get a 4 band preamp with a single H on a Bongo is to also get the piezos. Otherwise, the H comes with a three band preamp.

So, he is wondering if it's possible to get a 4 band preamp with only a single H on the Bongo 6.

I'm going to say the answer is probably "no," and that they probably hadn't really considered that scenario.

Sorry!! That shows I know zilch about Bongos... ... I'll sit on my mouth next time...
