  1. Here's the story... Last year we bought a house on the fantastic island of Fuerteventura and have decided we should make our home there and take early retirement next year. So I have reluctantly let the band I play in know with plenty of notice to look for someone new to take over bass duties. The band are based in the East Midlands in the South Derbyshire/Burton on Trent area. We have an extensive following and some fantastic gigs in the pipeline. We play a mixture of covers in various styles from ska, motown & soul to disco, pop and rock n roll. The band consists of a very talented and amusing singer/guitarist, a female sax player/singer, bonkers keyboard player, drummer/singer and your truly. I am really quite sad to post this, but hopefully someone on here would be up the for it? Message me if so and I'll put you in touch. Pete.
  2. So I tried dropping the pickups down (dropped both to keep the tone balanced) the neck a couple of mm proud of the scratchplate, the bridge PU slightly higher and seems to do the trick. I'll know better when I gig it at the weekend. The tone has changed slightly and lost a bit of punch but I can compensate for that with the EQ on my amp all being well. Will keep you posted and thanks for the simple solution!
  3. Hi, I love my Bongo 5HHp but find the space between the end of the neck and the neck pickup is quite small, this makes it difficult to "pop" when playing slap. I'm wondering if I changed the scratch plate for one from a 5H if I could move the neck pickup back a centimetre or so? Obviously this would mean routing the body and modifying the new scratch plate. Anyone know who sells Bongo scratch plates in the UK? Any thoughts on this? Is it a bonkers idea Pete.
  4. Price reduction to £325 ono. This truly is an awesome cab!
