Anyone have a HSC Bongo 5?

I just ordered a used one. I have played the HH model at GC and loved it but I got the H SC for a little more versatility and so I had some space to slap. Any pros and cons to this combo? I got it in Carbon Blue with an ice pickguard.

You mean like the one in my avatar? It's all subjective but I played a HH, HS, and H when shopping for my Bongo and it was no contest for me. The HS has a tone all it's own and personally I feel it offers more tonal variety than the HH. By the way, Carbon Blue with White Ice is a good choice!

It is my understanding the space between the neck and neck pickup is the same on HH and HS models.

the space is the same, but on my bongo 5 HS I pop behind the neck pickup. and 1echo is right about the tonal variety on the HS. I owned a bongo 5 HH and it just didn't have the flexibility of the HS IMO.
