Tried a search and came up blank, so the answer is prolly staring me right in the face, but here goes anyway...

When I got my Bongo 5 last week I quite liked the strings but it wasn't long before the itch set in. Being blessed with the ability to do my own setups and armed with all of my favourite brands, sets and gauges of strings I set to work. DR, Sadowsky, Thomastik... and then full circle right back to where I started. :eek: Does anyone know the precise details of which EB strings come stock on the Bongo 5? I had better stock up on some spares.

Thanks much!

PS - guess I have to change my avatar soon, eh?

A: The 4-string basses are all equipped with Ernie Ball Super Slinky Bass strings, item number 2834, when they leave the factory. The gauges are 45-65-80-100. The StingRay 5 and Bongo 5 use the same with an added 130. This set is our Regular Slinky Bass 5's, item #2836.
