Do all the double humbucker bongo's have the neorydium (spelling) pickups?

 

[bovinehost]

Yes.

I don't know what 'b-band' means, but I know that you shouldn't ingest the pickups, if you can possibly help it.

Whatchoo mean by b-band?

I meant to type 4-band

 

[bovinehost]

Yes.

The single H Bongos have a three band, but all the dual pickup models have the 4 band (as does the single H piezo model).

I must admit, as Lord Bongo, the 'b-band' question had me going for a minute. I thought I'd missed something important.

Which happens.

I even started wondering if there's a "broadband" Bongo.

Yes.

I've decided on the desert gold 4 string HH Bongo

 

[Dr Stankface]

You just may want to reconsider the carbon blue pearl.

The Radiance RedOne

Just wondering if I could get some advice.. I dont usually play bass's but I decided to take it up and as a result am looking at a 4 string bongo with dual humbuckers.. Just wondering what colours are good, and if its worth paying extra for a limited edition radiance red one?

Welcome to the low down thick string side of life ... my opinion is based on fact and therefore constitutes good advice ... as it's been said "if you know the difference between good advice and bad advice, you don't need advice.

imbho, all EBMM colours are great especially one of the LE colours like Radiance Red .. but to be really happy with a bass, you have to "ZEN"(be one) with the feel of it and how well it plays for you and helps you find your sound and maintain solid grooves. were I to snag a BOngo 4 these daze and have the choice to pick a Radiace Red, I'd consider it right up there with a Dargie Delight or a Blue Dawn '07 LE. The extra dough for a special EBMM ccolour is always worth it just from the pride of ownership aspect never mind the stock analyst's review of potential resale value.
Get it , play your fingers off and enjoy it 'til you faint from overexuberance

good luck andgoodhunting,

Yup and a damn fine one.




On the serious side, Bongos look hot CBP. Desert gold rocks too. Remember, I had one.

 

[lovedaebmm]

I got a desert gold one, and ordered a moonstone pickguard
