I’m feeling quite lucky. The Bongo I brought new is dated to 2019 and has the light weight tuners but also has the anchor bolts in the bridge. (Coming off another thread I’m very happy to have them)
I recently (couldn’t say no to it) a 2007 Bongo. I’ve not had them on the scales (I will do but) can tell you now it’s considerably heavier. The neck feels totally different (not measured it but will) almost thinner across the strings but thicker shape (not to mention the finish being smooth but definitely better than my 4H Bongo) and doesn’t seem to have the same untameable high output as the newer one.
It’s definitely evolved
Basses in question are both 5HH
Any thoughts or comments from older wiser Bongaloids is very much welcome.
I’ll add some photos cause why not !
