Oh boy -- you will really like that machine. You'll find yourself going to it most of the time. You won't intend to become bongoloided, you may even actively resist it, but your hand will just move that direction when you go to pull a bass off the wall. Great color, too.
Yes, it's Egyptian Smoke - matches my walls nicely.
I have to tell you guys, I took this fella off the wall and knew it was going to come home with me. (The only other Bongo I had ever tried was an HS which also almost followed me home). So far all I've done was roll the volume off a bit and use the pan between the pickups and, man, there's a million tones in this bass - without even touching the bass, treble or mids.
I have to experiment with my PU blend knob more... right now i only play on the humbucker most of the time, because of interferences. Love the sound of H and S together!
