It's an incredible preamp, although I've got the DFM version. Particularly well suited to fretless 😎 I wouldn't have anything else in my ACG fretless.

I've had basses with 1 and 2, and to be honest I've never noticed the difference. All have been custom made, so the necks have been as well put together as they possibly could be and barely ever needed any kind of tweakery. I expect experience may well vary on a production line bass though. Eude

I think Musicman price has jumped up regardless of the hardware improvements, on all their models. I have to say, I know these are some of the better examples available, but they are still ultimately production line basses as far as I'm aware. Each to their own, but I would be looking at a custom made bass if I was going to spend that kind of money on a bass, especially if it was a 6 string... So, in reference to the OP "music man bongo 6, is it worth it?" My answer would have to be a resounding NO. Eude

Yup, try adding roughly £1000 now! https://www.music-man.co.uk/instruments/basses/bongo-6 Eude

Is it bad I'm trying to imagine that with 2 pickups and 6 strings?... Eude

Hot Damn @Andyjr1515, you've done it again! I love that design! Eude

That is stunng,!

Back in the late 90s/early 00s, I used to rehearse in a place that provided Ampeg gear, SVT 2 on an 8x10 fridge usually, and the amps never made it through a full rehearsal with me, not once, put me off Ampeg gear for life. Eventually they bought in an Ashdown ABM head for me to use and it took everything I threw at it and wanted more. Been an Ashdown fan ever since. Most rehearsal studios I've used more recently have had pretty recent Peavey gear, and it's been OK. Nothing like the Peavey of old, but pretty serviceable. Eude

That truly is the worst, but man alive it's SO good when it arrives! How soon will it arrive? Eude

That is lovely, congratulations! Eude

That is gorgeous buddy, you must be well chuffed! Are those knobs different from th usual ACG ones? Eude

Ooooh Yeah!

OK, here's my 31.5" gang! I should really get some better photos done, details etcs. Eude

Are we allowed to share 31.5" basses here, or are they technically too short? Not really sure where they sit, I always describe them as shot(er) scale... Eude

Ah, my ol' Shuker. My first custom bass! I do miss it sometimes, be sure to treat her well buddy Eude

Thank you very much for sharing. Yeah, as close as I got to pulling the trigger on a multi effects, I found myself looking out problems and complaints about digital sounds, not helped by woeful and completely gutless demos all over YouTube, but your little video definitely tilts things back the other way! Eude

That sounds EPIC! What settings are you using, and I assume you're kicking in an Octaver for the extra heavy tone? Typically, I've literally just thrown out the idea of multieffects and started building a bloody board with analog pedals... Eude

Oh dear, we may both be in trouble then...

Wonderful, thank you! And, yes apologies for the derailment, my bad... Eude

Ooooh. What's the specs?... Eude

That's all very exciting, greta work mate!

If you fancy a 5 string, have a look at this... https://www.facebook.com/groups/BassPlayersMarketUK/permalink/2346532325358382/?sale_post_id=2346532325358382 No link to the seller, just seems a bargain. Eude

Nice, Aaron is a bit of a genius isn't he! All my ACG basses have Aaron's pickups in them, wound to ACG specs, although I have had them fine tuned a little, usually just overwound for a bit more guts and a little less treble. Eude

That is bloody gorgeous @Andyjr1515! Forgive me if the details are in an older post, but what's the spec on the pickup? Eude
