Bongo Pickup Selector

[Straight UP]

Anyone know why the Bongo5 or 4 was never given the same sort of pickup selector switch that the Ray has.???
Juzt curious why the Bongo was not given this selector switch (which seems much more versitile) as it has the same pickup config's as the SR.
Would this be something to be given to later Bongos?
Has someone else asked this already? If so where?
And lastly -Would this be a good retrofit??

Cheers

I don't know the answer, but I can say this:

The Bongo may lack a switch, but it definitely does not lack versatility!!!!

 

[Oldtoe]

The Bongo pickup pan knob gives, literally, infinite degrees of pickup blend. It's the more advanced control layout. Having said that, I only use about three different settings on my Bongo.

 

[adouglas]

Yeah, but there's no coil switching.

I play some pretty ridiculous songs in a relatively silly band (for seriously stupid money)....but I can't tell you how many times I've stopped and said to myself, "Sheeyit, 'Tiger By The Tail' sure would sound better if I had coil switching on this Bongo."

Well, okay, but don't ever try to kiss me again.

And another thing!

Any of you boys have stomp-boxes for your basses, I'm calling you a girl!

Unless you're a girl, and then I'll call you a......girly girl.

Yeah. So there.

Jack, has anyone told you that your writing is similar to that of Douglas Adams'?

Freakin' hilarious.

No, but I have been told that I'm uglier than Kurt Vonnegut.

Arin.....buy some panties, boy.

Not even during the bass solo?

If I can't use effects, how else am I supposed to hide my inadequacies as a musician?

 

[Psycho Ward]

The only effect I use is the effect of alcohol… and it makes me sound GREAT!

Girlie girl I am, and happy as ever

Yes, on my list I have it right after fire sprayer hidden in the head stock, but after such must-haves as built in tuning fork and binding

I'm looking into a renewable built-in sandwich.
