MM Bongo, anybody made one passive?

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.

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.

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.
