BassTractor Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 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, bert Quote
drTStingray Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 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. Quote
BassTractor Posted October 31, 2012 Author Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) Thanks, DrT! But is the HS a 4-band? I bought it as being a 3-band. best, bert Edited October 31, 2012 by BassTractor Quote

I bought it as being a 3-band. best, bert [/quote] 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. Quote
BassTractor Posted October 31, 2012 Author Posted October 31, 2012 Thanks! So age doesn't come into it then, and a 2009 HS is 4-band just like the new ones? Sorry I forgot to mention its age earlier. best, bert Quote

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. best, bert Edited October 31, 2012 by BassTractor Quote

Can't understand why forum software in this day and age makes it so bloody difficult to attach files. CB Quote
BassTractor Posted October 31, 2012 Author Posted October 31, 2012 Thanks, CB! I'll send that to her. best, bert Quote
