Help! HH Bongo 4 or HH Stingray 4

One more question,

Is there a huge difference between having 2 double coil humbuckers, and just having 1 double and 1 single?
 
I tried a Bongo for the first time a little while ago. I thought it was amazing! Such clarity - I never thought I'd get that much clarity from a non-graphite neck bass.

I was seriously impressed. I think I want one too!! :D

you really should try them. As has been said they are very different and both are tone monsters.

I really wanted a Stealth Bongo and was all set and had one in the works and then I tried one and found out it was not for me. (Great instrument just not for me).

So you really want to try one if you can.

Well up north they are also less common. When I got my Big Al I sold my Sterling, but I debated selling my Bongo. Turns out I was going to lose more on the Bongo sale than the Sterling sale. The shop said they a have a harder time selling the Bongo.

Personally I think that is BS. I am in sales, I am know what my effect my personal enthusiasm has on what I sell. The sales rep just doesn't like the look of the Bongo. If I worked there I could move tons of Bongo's if I wanted to.

I am so glad it turned out that way as I am just loving the combination of a Big Al SSS with rounds and the Bongo HH with flats. I feel I cover so much ground with these two basses.

(PS. I think this was my 1000th post)
