I cannot deny it.

They are just super grunty. I realise that that is a super subjective way of putting it, and pretty meaningless really as anything could be grunty given enough gain at the front end. They have clarity and a cut which is quite unlike anything else I have tried. Like a full-throated roar if needed. When I say clarity I am not talking about shiny high frequencies. Wow, tone words! They mean nothing!

I see what you did there!

MORE ROOM TO SLAP!!!!!! That is not going to happen. I have not actually had a chance to plug it in yet but from what I recall of Bongos, you are correct. I had to put the Vol/Bal on a dual concentric otherwise it would be a 4-pot plate. I like a front-loaded jack socket.

They came out of a Bongo. I waited a long time to find some.

Sorry, I should have noted, Mr Manton does lovely work!

I picked up some Bongo electronics. I have owned some (!) Bongos in the past but found them uncomfortable when seated. But I loved the electronics. Our own @Manton Customs did the routing work and all that malarky. New scratchplate, control cavity, battery and pickups. The control knobs are all sorts of wrong, but I will source some better ones. The before pictures are here. Share my joy.

I am glad that I do not need another 4 string. This is lots and lots of good things in one place. -

Thanks. That was bargainous! It is a shame he has nothing else.
-
Exactly the same size.

I need to get out more. I clocked the rack at the top of the 1st picture and recognised it as Mr BF's from when I saw it at a bass bash probably 2 decades ago.
-
Could you link me up to the ebay advert for the seller? I am wondering if he has many different cases. Ta.
-
I used to have an NS 5 string. I also had a Peli-alike hard case for it. With in built wheels. I loved that case!
-
I am fully aware that I have shown this before. It is on in the background while I do admin and I wanted to bump it to share the joy - but I could not find the original post. This is sublime bass playing.

Is 4 strings really enough? (Oooo i went there)
Owen replied to BigJHW's topic in General Discussion
I played a Stick about 38 years ago. My head still hurts a bit. Talk about "this looks familiar, let's have a go. Oh wow, this is bonkers!". I take my hat off to anyone who plays them. My brain is not wired that way. I have a 6 which is tuned to bottom F#. It is lots of fun. Am I getting the full fundamental note? No chance. But I use it for last notes in songs and as long as the harmony above is all good then it provides a nice cushion for everyone else to sit on. -

You cannot spell Bass without a B. Outside now, 4 string people. I will fight you all. -
I seem to recall that my Realist pickup was much less fussy about what it went into than other pickups I have used.
-
If your amp's input has a high enough impedance you are good to go. This is not always the case. And for the record, I am ALWAYS up for new gizmos.

What is the secret of these? Is it just bigly magnets? Super duper windings? What gives? I have a 5 string L1000 with an MFD pickup. It brings the heft.
