New (to me) Bongo HS

[Randracula]

You all know the story with this one(http://www.ernieball.com/forums/music-man-basses/48321-patience-pays-off.html).This great Bongo HS made the long trip from the LBC to the I.E. and ended up on my doorstep last week. All I can say is Wow ! What great bass. The finish is stunning in person and looks great with the stealth hardware package. So i'm back in the Bongo club and it's my first in the HS config. Pics were taken on my cell phone. I also used my phone to record a short video of some harmonics that displays the awesome frequency response of the Bongo.Play it in 720p if you can but please excuse the slightly out of tune sloppy playing.

Congrats Randy, how do you like the HS tone? That neck S pickup sounds so great IMO.

Got it from a nice man named Rex....

So far it's been great. Sounds quite different from the HH which is a good thing since I already have 2 HH EBMM basses. The S is just as loud as the H. I do like the tone of the H soloed as well though.It's like the Jaco tone on steroids

Very nice! I'm a big fan of the color scheme and HS(p) is my favorite Bongo configuration. So, good job!

This is my main gigging bass. I love the look and sound of it, but I don't know how much longer the headstock will be black...

Thanks Jack, I can't believe it took me 3 days to pull the trigger on this. I wasn't sure i'd like the color but once I opened the case.......Wow!

If it had been a fiver, it never would have escaped from Texas.
