Hey BP I finally got a Bongo!

[trunkshope6]

also wanted to add that indeed theirs no doubting the bongo has an active sound,it was clipping my peavey head all night,not in a bad way though, but it definitely has an overall musical tone,not too bright or anything like some actives,the high end on this is really round ,while i noticed my say has a sizzle to the top end,the bongo has a nice overall great bass tone,it has the right amount of everything imho

Nice. HH Bongo. Good.
Just turn down the gain to where the light starts to clip, Bongos are powerful, HH very powerful.

Like your first post about "punk Rock & Motown" interesting combo.

Also- I have a lot of kewl basses, inc. a '69 P-Bass that is, well, a '69 P-Bass. (That's a GOOD thing..)

MY HH Bongo, when replacing the '69 P-Bass on the jobs, does a damn good rendition of a passive bass, really it does. With moderate eq and a right rig
(tubes, whatever) boy of boy.
The HH Bongo does NOT HAVE to be scary active- It can be dialed down to produce some phat phunky solid tones, that although they retain that incredible muscular POUND that IS Bongo, they would have made Jamerson smile and say...
"Man I wish I had ME one of these!"
Oh yes, He woulda.
