New Bongo day.

Have this on the way. Perfect mate for my HH/Piezo Bongo 5. Same color too! Never heard an H Bongo before. What am I getting into?

 

[Oldtoe]

You've made a good decision. Pretty much a bass that can do any gig, much like your HH Bongo. Having said that, I've found the fretted H models have a slightly more aggressive midrange which is easily dealt with with either picking hand position or with the EQ. Fretless H Bongos are simply some of the best fretless basses in the world. Excellent choice! Enjoy!

73j strikes again!

I don't want to spoil it by telling you what it will be like compared to your HH Bongo but I'll just say.....You're in for something different! Let us know your reactions.

My first recommendation is to put some Cobalt strings on there. Also, don't be afraid to turn down the treble and mids....or the volume control.

Congrats and hope you enjoy.

The single H has an incredible sweetspot.

I have the exact same Bongo and I LOVE it! I've had an HH, which I also loved, but the simplicity of the single H (and the killer tone) make it my fave of the two. The factory strings were way to bright for my taste, so I laced her up with some flats. Even with the flats, it has plenty of zing.

Best part, it weighs 8 pounds.

Single H Bongos are the best. Congrats, that's a beauty.

My only Bongo 1H is an FL-p, so I don't really
know the sound of a bass like yours, but I do
know that I don't in the least miss the second
MM PU. I've had 4 and 5 string fretted Bongo
HH, and you just don't need that many coils
to get what a Bongo is all about. As already
posted above, describing tone is pointless vs
the wondrous sooprise you're about to enjoy !

Man you guys are giving me gas for a Bongo H!

@nurnay I remember your NBD recently, and at first glance I thought this was yours and you had sold it already!

Congrats!

No way! I love it too much.

Ohh yeah!!!

Perfect!!!

I just brought home a Bongo HS. Now you're giving me GAS for a single H Bongo too. My wife is gonna kill me. Damn you!!!

Single H Bongo = secret weapon

 

[bassmonkeee]

It's not secret if you go talking about it and stuff.

 

[bovinehost]

Well, don't draw undue attention to my post, then.

Single H Bongo = secret weapon

100% agree with that, Sir!
