That's what I've been doing with mine. No drummer. One evening there was the infamous "oozing subbass attacks hear aid" incident, which required a substitution [plastic steinberger] b/c no amount of knob twiddling would plug the oozing Bongo. Other than that little surprise, I thought I'd done a fine job of taming the Bongo for dining room duty. From that experience, I guess that for some lounge lizard gigs, in small rooms where things may begin to buzz like snares due to oozing subbass, that having a shelving EQ, or high-pass filter, or other means to plug [or even just limit] THE OOZ could be a necessary tool. I'll admit that one thing I forgot to try that particular night was just decoupling the cab from the hardwood floor, a trick that saved the day once before when some [pre-Bongo] rig was rattling the room despite very minimal audible volume.
