Now, Phatty, if we could hook you up with a real Bongo (H)!!!!!!!!!! - Who needs a pan knob????? (A dual pup Bongo with the bridge moved into the single H would be the sh!t though!!!!)
I actually like the 3 band (much easier to use when drunk onstage)... I really do. It is every bit as powerful and I don't have to think too much about it (but the HP is killer too)
