are the bongo controls like this volume, balance, mids, bass/treble
or is it like this volume, balance, low-mid/bass, high-mid/treble

is it just boost or boost and cut?
are the parametric or independent.

thanks
 
For a dual pickup Bongo:
Vol, Pan, [Hi/Low Mids], [Hi/Low]

Single pickup Bongo:
Vol, Hi, Mid, Low

A Bongo w/ piezos will have a four band EQ, despite # of pickups or config:
Vol, [Pickup Pan/Mag-Piezo Pan], [Hi/Low Mids], [Hi/Low]

That's incorrect. You have the mids, and treble/bass knobs switched and the mids backwards.

Midopa almost had it right, but he goofed on the models with piezos. :D

Using his format, the piezo models are:

[top/bottom]

Vol, [Mag-Piezo Pan/Pickup Pan], [Hi/Low Mids], [Hi/Low]


Here are schematics for all of the different pickup configs for all EB instruments:
