SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA (April 2, 2004) -- Kayle Truman, bassist for the Hillary Duff Band, has gone from brewing lattes at Starbucks to blasting out the tunes on his Music Man Bongo.
The 22-year-old Truman is a native of Indiana, and moved to LA two years ago to find fame and fortune. It didn't take him long to get discovered. While serving coffee to the manager of the Hillary Duff Band, Truman invited him to hear his former band "Magnet" play. His days of brewing came to a quick end in August of '03 when he was hired as the bassist for Duff's group. Looking for a light, solid instrument to get him through long sessions, he decided to check out the Bongo.
"I just fell in love with my Bongo right away," said Truman. "It 's really comfortable to play, sounds great and looks cool." Truman actually has two Bongos - one in Black and one in Lava Pearl.
The band just finished a tour of the U.S., and will head to Europe in April, giving the Truman and his unique looking Bongo the attention they both deserve.
"We've had a great reaction to the Bongo Bass. Musicians love the sound quality and the way it feels," said Derek Brooks, artist relations representative at Ernie Ball. He went on to explain that its unusual shape makes it especially comfortable to play, which Truman confirmed.
Bongo features include an evolved artistic shape, advanced electronics, color coordination and a patented compensated nut that greatly improves intonation.
