thanks to the link that Midopa pointed to me, i've been able to adjust the neck to my preferences (the trussrodweehl really works great).
In the F.A.Q's, MM gives us the heigth specifications of the pickups. On my bass, the pu's are really far away from those specs (mainly the neck humbucker that is more than 3 mm over the 4mm recommended). Here are the 2 short questions :
- is it necessary to adjust the pu's, or will the difference be negligible ?
- how do you raise or lower the pu's (I found nothing about it in the FAQs).

Thanks alot.

To raise or lower the pickup turn the screws in the pickup. I am not sure the faq addresses pickup hieght on the Bongo. Maybe a Bongo owner can let you know where the set hieght is for the front pup.

The pickup height is adjusted by the screws at either end of the pickup.If the sound is balenced there is no need to sdjust.
 
I'd leave the pups as they came. No need to adjust.
