Morning Bump

[quote name='ste_m3' post='230326' date='Jul 1 2008, 09:57 AM']I remember having a similar issue with my bongo, Allbeit i stuck at it a bit longer (and THATS saying something!) Its such a rewarding bass when you get it right. But i have to agree the SC neck pickup isnt worth doodly squat.[/quote] Im really stoked with bongos, I definatly want another one. the tone you can get out of them is unreal, the slightest little turn of one of the 4eq, and you get a totaly new sound, cut mids slightly and add a tiny bit of trebble you sound like flea, or treb down a little, little high mid and you get a lovely jazz sound. and this is all within a 1/4 of a turn. Fantastic bass. But for practicality I need rid of that pickup, I dont go for warm sounds anyways so its pretty pointless for me.

Edited what id trade for.

Your Jazz hasn't seen much use since I got it (in the middle of building works so only have space for one bass out at a time just now) but I have been quite pleasantly surprised how little the neck pickup bothers me on my OLP 4HH now... I started off hating it for slap stuff, and lowered the neck pickup right down until it was pretty much flush with the pickguard. After a month or so I put it back to normal height and... somewhat oddly - it doesn't get in the way anymore. I can't really work out exactly what I'm doing different - although I guess I must be playing a bit further up the fretboard when slapping... but I reckon it could be well worth sticking with it for a bit to see if you can get on with it.. it'd be a shame to lose that extra bit of versatility for the sake of a bit of effort working on technique. (And it must be piss easy if I can do it. )[/quote] Your right, I could lower the neck pup right down, but then it'd make no sence in having it there in the first place cause you wouldnt get a nice tone out of it or hear it. Since I got your OLP 5HH, I havent played that much either, few hours here and there but I cant get on with the neck pup on that either so thats going to Machines, for some reason I thought the bongo would be diffrent as its HS not HH, but the spacing is the same pretty much. Think its gonna take me a while to find a Bongo 5H, but im happy noodling around with it untill one pops up. Might go for a trade with something else, like something with a status/modulus type of neck. Has to be P bass size though. if not graphite, then it has to be maple. not a massive fan of rosewood at all.

Im really really really sorry to both of you. That 'ray will stay with me for a long long time to come, I picked up some Wal's today, and even though they were fantastic, they didnt give me that same tingly feeling every time I pick up that 'ray, I very much doubt ill ever find something else that will replace it as my #1 bass. I see you still have [i]my[/i] ray on your profile pic Chris Ill give you dibs if im on life support, or I have a hand chopped off, or I need to sell it for my new herion/crack addiction (hey I live in Doncaster, its only time before im shooting up and calling everyone Boyo's)

Afternoon, Ive only just got this bad boy, a HS bongo in gold from this forum, I never played a bongo before and I got some real Gas, Its a lovely bass but I cant get on with the Neck Pickup, Gets in the way for slap (I dont have a good technique) Id really like another 5 string in its place, preferably a Bongo, but any musicman really, Has to be single hum though. Preferably maple necked. If its not Musicman then it 100% has to have a maple fretboard. Might sell if the price is right but the money will only go to another bass anyways.
