Bongo's earth shattering power.

[MCBTunes]

Does anyone use the 4band 18 volt monster is soft acoustic songs? I can just see it maybe drowning out the acoustic guitar. Or does all thet umph fit into the background nicely. I noticed the Kenny Cheseney Bassist is using a bongo, but his stuff isnt very....soft. ballads etc.

I play in a band that has some very soft numbers and It supports the band perfectly. The bongo isn't just powerful it's dynamic.

so your saying it can be mellowed down so it has less.... "presence"

When I played a Bongo for my mom, she told me I had to turn it way down because the bass hurt her ears

You can do nearly anything with the bongo electronics.

The only limitation with the Bongo is in the mind of the operator.

I played a modern country gig with my fiver. Yeah, they looked at me funny at first, but they got over it when they heard it.

(I didn't show them the Custom Shop Jazz backup bass until the gig was over.)

(And by the way, when a Custom Shop Jazz is relegated to backup status, your main bass must be pretty good.)

I used my Bongo in a small French restaurant backing a female Belgian singer with an acoustic guitar, and it sounded great.

Bongos have volume controls. So do amps for that matter.

Got a fretless on the way and expect to use it for "the 4band 18 volt monster for soft acoustic songs"...

 

[MingusBASS]

That will work for sure!

Freak'n sweet those fretless Bongos are.

I play a Bongo in a duo with an acoustic guitarist and have no problems - this weekend I even used my full bass rig which has a potential output of about 1500W (nothing like a bit of headroom ) so I didn't have to turn it up too far .... but if we do small acoustic nights then I just DI into the PA same as him.
