Sterling or Bongo?

[skyjuice]

I'm not sure which bass to buy. I play in a 4 piece pop/rock commercial band. I love the thin maple neck of the sterling but I think the bongo might have a fatter, difinitive tone.
I would love to here some advice
Thanks
Rob

The double humbucker Bongo is definitely fatter. On the other hand, if you want a Sterling, they're great basses.

(I also have a black sparkle Sterling I'm probably going to be selling soon if anyone's interested.)

But, honest guy that I am, I do like the Bongo better, at least the double humbucker model!

Cool, Thanks for your honesty. What about for studio?

Bongo Bongo Bongo!

My opinion isn't as valid as bovine's, considering I've only played the two for a few minutes at a couple guitar shops, but my vote is for the Bongo as well.

The HH Bongo should be trickier to slap shouldn't it?

I only slap people.

Duely noted!
