mxm Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) I'm with you there, I once had a Bongo 4HH and always felt it a tad overpowering and maybe had something to offer in a passive guise. But eventually I couldn't be a**ed and sold it. My loss. Have since learnt to re-appreciate active circuits.

bassninja Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I just 'pacified' my Fender Miller Jazz, as I never really used the actives anyway. I didn't like the boost only style, and it was too glassy for me up top. It feels great, but I wasn't using it so much. It's now VV (inactive pot) passive T, and the switch is series/parallel. The S/P switching has really bought something out, bit of a volume bump and a more pronounced mid width, which is more useful than the actives were, for me anyway. Horses for courses and all that, but I'm now using it much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krispn Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Look at the Big Al - MM had the good sense to offer that same 4 band eq but also the ability to disengage it. Seems like they missed a trick by not offering that in the Bongo. Perhaps MM could advise on what they do (did) with the Big Al preamp?

karlfer Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 Thanks fellas. Fairly inevitably with me, it's looking academic, looks like the bass is on it's way tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I had a Bongo 5HH a few years ago...would take it to rehearsal, start out all nice and flat, then in the proceeding hours, noddle noodle, twiddle twiddle. I never came out of a jam having cut any of the frequencies; the onboard preamp is mental. If I could have converted it to passive somehow, I'd probably still have it now.
