Cloaked stealth

[1Echo]

I got my stealth Bongo5 HS today but I just can't figure out how to turn off the cloaking device. Anyway, here's a pic .....

how did you do it?

Quick and dirty with Photoshop.

1) Take a pic with the bass and one without.
2) Select only the bass. Cut it and paste on the pic with no bass.
3) Use a chrome effect on the bass layer.
4) Make it a bit transparent.

Nice photoshopping!

Oh, and great bass too.

That needs to be an animated GIF. Bass fading out, then disappearing.

kewl!
I'm always reluctant to start doing something in Photoshop... I tend to spend way too much time at the computer anyways...

Just wanted to add another comment after I got to play it a bit at band practice this evening. It's definitely a little heavier than my other Bongo but it has a much more distinct growl and the tone is just meatier throughout. I thought it might be my imagination just because it's a new bass but my bandmates confirmed. I believe I have a new #1.

How would you describe the sound of the S pickup soloed? I have heard all of the Bongo pickup combinations (4 string and 5) but this one.
