Bongo's unique sweet tone!

[Slim]

I have my Bongo 4HH for a week now and I have been adjusting playability and pickup heights etc. and I am discovering the tone I have never heard on any other bass, which tone is similar to Fender Stratocaster's in between pickup position tone if you know anything about Stratocaster you should get very sweet tone from 2 and 4 position of 5 position pickup selector switch when Bongo's all tone knobs in middle and pickup balance in middle position. I am wondering if Bongo's pickups were reverse wound or difference in magnets make it sounds so sweet. I have guitars with two hambuckers and they can never get that sweet Stratocaster tone no matter what you try. Do any other Bongo players know which tone I am talking about?

I think positions 2 and 4 on a strat are esentually parrallel humbucker positions. Your other two pickup guitars (humbucker models) are probably series wound humbuckers. Parrallel will have a glassier more open sound (sweeter, perhaps), and series will be louder with more mids and a less open sound. Not sure how the Bongo is wired, but my guess is parrallel.
