The reason a Bongo can dig into your leg while seated is due to the small lower "horn" being shaped the way that it is.

Did you buy this bass from Bass Central? I saw this same bass there the day I was picking up my custom Lefty Stealth Bongo 5.... A Brazilian dude was trying to decide between the Electric Blue 6, the Pearl Blue 6, and the Dargie Delight 6. He ended up buying the DD. They had them all spread out on the floor, mine included. It was cool,man, It was like Bongos ruled the day at Bass Central, even if it was only for like an hour...It was like going to a BongoFest!

I totally get the wanting another bongo thing...it ought to come with "collect the entire series" packaging...
I got mine from The Perfect Bass in Baton Rouge, LA. They had about 100 Music Man basses. It was a bassist's heaven!
I've thought about looking for EADGBe strings for mine. Maybe one day?
It might be cool, who knows.
I do have a noob question since I'm new to Music Man - What are the 2 knobs on the bridge that an allen key can go in?

That's where they hide the flux capacitor. Shhhhhhh.
Kinda glad I don't live in Baton Rouge, at least my wallet is fuller because of it.

Yeah, because I've been wondering where I can upgrade tesla coils, since we all know some give a much better sound than others. I do want to upgrade to balloon static, but 1.2 Jigawatts don't create themselves!
Seriously though, what are those posts for? Ive seen nothing on this before.

Those are great big bolts that thread into inserts in the body. Together with the screws on the bridge plate, they mount the bridge to the body.
I do believe they're one of the secrets to MM tone, because they couple the bridge to the body better than is possible otherwise.

I think they help hold the saddles in place...
