And it's AWESOME....! It came with a brand new set of Slinkys but I had a set of Cobalts waiting for it. Its a total tone monster!

Spent a long time with it plugged in today. I bought it as a 4-string companion to my Bongo 5 HS--I found I could play faster and mute a little better on a 4-string--and it is exceeding my expectations. I love the sound--just like the bongo 5 HS but a little tighter and clearer. And--unexpected bonus--it is super light! And, with the new lightweight tuners it balances perfectly. So now I'm in Bongo Bliss--I've got the 5-string for that deep low end and the 4-string for the more technical stuff.

And if you'll excuse me, I think I hear it calling me again....

Update--I've taken this out on a few gigs now and it just KILLS. I love how it sounds. Even better, (after a raised eyebrow or two) the sound guys love it. And there is definitely something about it that garners a certain amount of extra attention, if ya know what I mean....
