Bongo owners: which knob does what, please?

Sounds like the question of an idiot, and of course it is.

Haven't got my 4-band HH Bongo here, and am writing a manual for another noob about a 3-band HS I've never seen.

So: can anyone please tell me what the different knobs on the HS do?

I'm guessing, FLTR on right-handed bass:
- volume
- pup blend
- bass (+mid?)
- treble (+mid?)

Or?


best,

First two right. (If you had a piezo, the 2nd knob has an upper which is piezo/magnetic blend

Third knob is upper and lower mid.

4th knob is bass (lower) treble (top). Beware of that bass EQ - it can demolish walls.

For anyone interested, the H Bongo has a 3 band EQ - I'm guessing it has 4 regular controls as per a 3 band Ray etc.

Thanks, DrT!
But is the HS a 4-band? I bought it as being a 3-band.

HS Ray is 3 band, as are all of the 2 pickup Rays, and most H Rays....although you can get the older 2 band circuit.

H Bongo's are 3 band unless you get a Piezo added, which adds the extra making it 4 band plus piezo.

All HS HH Bongo's are 4 band.

Yep!

Thanks big time!
I can now finish the "manual" and get it out to her today. Tomorrow my new Bongo will arrive at her house, and she'll start her bass career with that plus a Squier CV Jazz '60s.
Not bad, I imagine.

Hope this helps.
Can't understand why forum software in this day and age makes it so bloody difficult to attach files.
