Anyone ordered 2012. Bongo?

put ultralights on the one I have. I contacted CS last year and at first they said I would be able to exchange my old tuners for the new ones and then they changed their minds. So i went and bought the ultras and installed them, made a world of difference!

Those LW tuners will help to avoid neck dive on 5 and 6 bangers, ...like on this one:

Yeah, I remember somebody saying they weren't interchangeable. I guess now we know different. We have a choice

Woohoo, ...this one at official EBMM instrument page looks nice:

Can't wait to see 5 banger with new tuners!

now we're talking! Keko, you just made my waiting period that much more agonizing... thank you.

 

[novenpeter]

actually i like the old tuner a little bit, but if it can decrease the weight then it is okay

I might consider getting a set for my Big Al 5. The neck doesn't "dive" per se, but it's a tad heavy toward the neck, and it doesn't quite sit the way I'd really like it. Not a big issue, but it would be nice if the neck sat a little higher.

My bongo is back, stronger than ever...and it's got new tuners. They feel and look great...
Thanks to all the guys at EBMM.

Wow. That looks awesome. I think those are some of the best pics I've seen yet of Sterling Silver. I love that colour on a Bongo! Very nice! The new tuners look great.

Does this new model also have the compensated nut ?

They should. I have 2 older Bongo's and they have the compensated nuts on them. Since it is a better design that most nuts, I can't see Music Man not continuing to put these on their Bongo's.

My bongo went in for a repair 'cause of some problems with the neck. They replaced it with a new one, tuners are bonus...

I'm pretty sure, yes!
