Move over Bongo! SR5 HS is here!

Cool. thanks for the commentary.

I love the sound of my SR5 -- the mix of growl and clarity that you get with that pickup placement, and I worry about losing it w/ a 2 pickup Bongo. The idea of having that exact pickup plus a more low-end neck pickup is appealing.

I just wish one of the stores up here near Boston would get one in!

The main difference between the Bongo 5 H and my SR5 is that. The Bongo is like 9 volts louder.

And that makes logical sense, right? But, what I haven't figured out is why my Sterling's 9v preamp is hotter (louder) that my Bongo's 18v. Must be turbocharged.

The bongo takes two good batteries? JK.

What if Bongos are wired in parallel so 9V + 9V is still only 9V but with twice the current?

Finally got a decent shot ...

... without the pickguard plastic.

I'm really enjoying her!
