The newer Ray 5's have alnico magnets - same electronics as the Stingray. The Old SR5's had Sterling electronics...maybe check out the new Sterling 5.

Sorry to bring this oldish thread back, but Dotfunk are playing at the Jazz Cafe again reletavely soon - would it be a recommended gig? Last time I went there was to see Maceo and it was incredible. One of the best gigs ever...

Bedouin Soundclash - when the night feels my song. Fantastic song and band, but awfully out of tune harmonies at the end...it's cringe worthy. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlsBPH8O7q8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlsBPH8O7q8[/url] at 2:57ish

Love it man, sounds great. Reminds me of'The Black Crowes' for some reason, awesome stuff.

Bongo 6!!!

These are supposed to be absolutely incredible. The regular production model (ie - no fancy top) will be available next year called 'Reflex' It's active, passive, series, parallel, HH, HSS, or H - me want.

[quote name='phil.i.stein' post='734234' date='Feb 3 2010, 05:04 PM']sorry to hear that. try firing off an e-mither to [url="http://www.stringsandthings.co.uk/"]http://www.stringsandthings.co.uk/[/url][/quote] I'll definitely email them, customer service said if all else fails then that is where to go. [quote name='Silent Fly' post='734246' date='Feb 3 2010, 05:16 PM']I suggest you send an email to EBMM describing what kind of service the "local EBMM dealer" offers to EBMM customers.[/quote] I would, but I really don't want to take the matter any further really - I've sent a long email telling them what I think of them, and it ain't too nice Besides, they claim to be a MusicMan dealer, and you can order anything from them, but I've never seen a MusicMan in there (except one of mine they had hung up on the wall when it was supposed to be having repairs...grrr)

I went to my local EBMM dealer today, but as a result of a previous argument I have had with them, they very rudely told me to get lost. Wonderful.

There is a very good thread on the EB forums, showcasing the differences between the 2 EQ, 3 EQ, mahogany bodies, and graphite necked basses. You'll be suprised at the differences in tones. Personally, I prefer the 2 EQ, and the graphite necked...if only I could find a 2EQ graphite...

Oh yes, and I bought it used...from the states. The bass is out of warranty and EB customer service are being very nice and polite, but not particulaly helpful. Edit: actually, they are being very helpful, sending me different diagrams and suggesting different possible solutions, but to no avail.

Hello everyone I just bought a Bongo 5HH with piezo bridge, it's awesome. However I can't use the piezo option because the saddle for the E string is so overpoweringly loud it is unusable. I have adjusted the trim pots and it has no effect on the E string. When touched, the saddle makes a sound almost identical to the sound made when you touch the tip of a lead when it is plugged into an amp. It even overpowers the magnetic pickups - and when not playing te E string all the other vibrations from the other strings are picked up on it making it sound quite frankly awful. It's a shame because otherwise this bas sounds friggin' epic. I was hoping for a simple solution from anyone with experience...hopefully not bad (therefore expensive) news. Thanks Zak
