If it's as easy to convert those pups to neodymium as to convert jazz pups... 

Not sure I've come across any replacement MM pickups that use neodymium magnets - they're all ceramic or alnico, and hence don't nail the Bongo sound. If anyone knows better, please let me know - might sway my decision to get one. 

 

Noll do a 4-band EQ that Klaus can configure with the Bongo frequency centres (for reference, they're bass at 40Hz, low mids at 400Hz, high mids at 2.5KHz and treble at 6.3KHz, all at +-15dB).

It's almost impressive how much they can increase the prices between the US and other markets now.

 

48% difference in retail prices between the US and the UK. Right enough.

Aren't US prices VAT excluded? Local taxes + VAT = a lot more.

If it's possible to push the pole pieces down a few mm, you can sit neodymium button magnets on top.

 

It may sound dodgy but it works absurdly well. So well that putting a neodymium button on the bottom of each pole piece may sound better.
