The neck is painted then satin finished. I admit this is intriguing me as to whether I will like it, but apparently it is very smooth and comfortable.
The main postive comment I get is that when you plug it in, the tone is a monster![/quote]
I found the neck to be something I didnt pay attention to while I was playing, and thats how a neck should be IMO!
I really wish I had the chance to have my old Bongo back. I wasnt very mature as a bass player when I had it and I just dont think I did it justice
I do however remember that the 4 band eq was hard work. Loads and loads of good tones on tap but you have to work pretty hard to get a really great tone.
