Granfalloon of the Bongo Single H

[bovinehost]

I used "granfalloon" but it may turn out to be a "karass", I can't be sure.

If you don't understand those terms, use wikipedia! Heretics!

Nonetheless, this thread is for devotees of the BP Secret Weapon, which is not so secret anymore. If you have sampled the single H Koolaid and found it to your liking, post your gig photos, experiences, beliefs and photos of the hot teenage babysitter that almost sent you to jail for the rest of your life.

Or, you know, just photos of your Bongo 1H.

One of the early disciples:

You dual pickup guys, go get your own thread.

2 pickups = 2x as good. No?

I believe I was one of the early guys on the wagon. There was only one other Single H Bongo around these boards before I received the fretless Single H. It was the Desert Gold Bongo Single H, that I think went through Travis' and Jack's hands before settling with HeavyDuty maybe?

Here is when I got the Fretless, also known as the SmallEQ Tribute model.

Here is the fretted brother I bought to keep the other one company.

And after some tumultuous few months, I have settled on the a fretted Medallion Gold Single H. I believe Jack and I decided that from now on, any Medallion Gold Single H Bongo shall be known as a SmallEQ tribute model.

Hey, maybe you 'falloons know something about that?

As seen in another post.....I just got this one. Used to own the beauty that is in smalleq's hands and regretted selling it. This one popped up here and on TB for sale and I jumped on it. Glad I did.

Do the Bongo HH's have the bridge humbucker in the same spot that the single H's do? My eyes might be playing tricks on me, but it looks like the single H's are a little closer to the neck compared to the HH models.

Let it never be said that I would miss a chance to show my Balls, here's my favorite!

Justin,

I believe you are right. The single "H" is strategically placed into its own little 'hot spot'. This is what provides its magical power.

OK, here's mine.

Who did I get this from anyway?

Oh yeah, it was Shamus! Thanks again James!

Is this also true for Stingrays, or does this only apply to Bongos?

 

[smallequestrian]

Single H Bongos have their pickup in the same location as Stingrays, Sterlings and SR5's. This spot is known as the Musicman Sweetspot to most people. The Dual pickup Bongos have the bridge pickup moved closer to the the bridge. Dual pickup SR4, SR5 and Sterlings have the bridge pickup in the traditional location.

Well, I'm part of the church of H but I am also in the piezo denomination.

 

[TSanders]

I was one of the first Single H players around here.

I had this one, and SORELY miss it.

This bass comes to mind too often. My worst "offing" ever.

 

[adouglas]

You people are making me GAS for an H Bongo.

Stop it!

I just sold two Bose systems and the commission check will soon be staring me in the face.

Grrrrr.......


I do NOT need another fretted bass.

This is such a stupid thread! Guys, just admit you are cheap, and didn't want to fork out the extra $$$ to get a second pick up

/The still haven't seen a single H Bongo in the flesh, erm, wood, magnus

 

[Eggman]

Please see my signature - I don't think being cheap has anything to do with it!!!!

There's one at a nearby dealer, in a color I like (CAR).

Only thing is, it's missing a string. I must have that fifth string. MUST, mind you.

Maybe I should call Customer Service and see if they can track down an H 5er......

hmmm.......


Discipline, Mr. Douglas. Cold showers. Think about baseball.

Eggman, we all know you are just kissin' BP ass, so stop it

The fact of the matter is, I am envious as hell of you single H guys, and i don't even know what one sounds like
