Bongo 5 Strings

[grooveguru]

Can someone tell me what type of strings and their gauges that come stock on the Bongo 5s. Yes I know that they're some sort of Slinky.

A: The 4-string basses are all equipped with Ernie Ball Super Slinky Bass strings, item number 2834, when they leave the factory. The gauges are 45-65-80-100. The StingRay 5 and Bongo 5 use the same with an added 130. This set is our Regular Slinky Bass 5's, item #2836.
