Is it possible to order a 6 string bongo hh with the 5 string spacing? I tried searching Google/the forums but couldn't find any info on it.
 
John Myung does not use a five string spacing, since the Bongo 6 have the same string spacing tha the Bongo 5 have. What JM have is the body of the Bongo 6 with the neck of the Bongo 5 with a narrower string spacing. Maybe they will incorporate this option, since they are making a lot of changes in the Bass lineup.

Sorry, that's what I meant, having a 5 string neck but with 6 strings. I never slap at all and mainly play technical/prog music so having the tighter string spacing would be a huge help.

Also on a completely different note, a couple days ago I was looking at the bongo 6 and it had at least 10+ color options and choices for pickguard color. When I look at the bongo 6 page now I only see four color options and no choices for pickguard color. Anyone know why this changed?
