I think I reeeally need to finally get a 4

[Psychicpet]

So fellers..... due to the extreme GAS now incurred after the Open House....
I kinda got a bit of an order on stand by for a dual H Sterling BUT....... the thought of a single H Bongo4 is gnawin' at me so here's the pol:

What 4 do y'all think I should get?

 

[marleaux-user]

I've always been intrigued by the Dual H''s But even more so by the new switching system. So my hands are tied here!

 

[phatduckk]

HS Sterling get my vote. ive got one on order (1st one ever ordered ) and playing one at open house reaffirmed my choice. amazing! i didnt play an HH tho - but the HS StingRay was fabulous as well

but, ya - u should get an HS Sterling so we can start some sort of club

just 2 cents from the obese water foul. LoL

 

[Psychicpet]

ah yes Ducckkky Arin(sp?)
I played the dual H Sterling and was blown away with the switching and the tones but the damn Bongo..... it in itself is like being in a secret club , especially when the public sees them live.........

oh well, we'll see where the poll gets to tomorrow

 

[Urwordsbreakmed]

ehhh dude thats a hard choice either way the double H is number 3

 

[Randracula]

HH Sterling............

 

[AnthonyD]

HH Sterling here too...

 

[bovinehost]

After playing that single H Bongo at the SLO CC, I'm back to being intrigued by them (again).

 

[Psycho Ward]

There no lefty's to vote for , but I caught Sterling fever at the OH so I'll go back and vote for one of those.

 

[Joshua]

I certainly will not be naysaying the dual pup choices, but there is just something magical in the single pup models.

 

[maddog]

Like a good human being, I am living vicariously thru you: Get the Bongo H.

 

[shamus63]

How come no HH Bongo on the survey?

 

[Mobay45]

After playing the Dual H Stingray last weekend, I had to vote for the HH Sterling. As far as all of this talk about single vs. dual, it seems to me that you have the single H available in the dual pickup models but you have more options. The only reason I can thing of to opt for the single H is if you want a piezo.

I've got a dual H Bongo 5 and a H S/C P fretless Bongo 5 so the only Bongo left to behold is a single H but man...... that dual H Sterling was nice at the Open HOuse...

But the pickup placement on the single H models is different, yes? So there will be some difference in tone...though with no direct experience, I have no idea what or how much that might be.

Not on the HH and HS Sterlings/StingRays. The bridge pickup is in the same place as the single H models. You are probably thinking about the Bongo pickup placement.

Yes, exactly. If the bridge pickup is in the exact same spot, then by all means the HH seems the way to go...more options.

*ping*

well, it's settled. this afternoon a die-hard MM user came into the store and as it happened, my Bongos were with me to be ready to zip to a gig afterwards. after showing the aforementioned pre-EB StingRay owner and 'die-hard' the Bongos with him saying things like "what is that!??" "this plays great!!" and "who set up this fretless!!!!!!???" [thank you Jon!]
I've settled on the fact that my next EBMM will involve a single H Bongo of some sort. It's just too much of a blast wiggin' people out with these basses!

....and I'll not touch the 3 band eq!

so BP...... ya got a rosewood neck for a 4 string Bongo kickin' around the shop ????

 

[oddjob]

Can't go wrong with the single H (just got back from a gig where it was the center of attention) - I love it more and more each time I play it!

 

[Psychicpet]

uh huh... now it's just a matter of colour....................................................................
can I hold out until NAMM '06 to see what the new crop might be..... not likely
