E adjustable handle is a knob thanks situ between the micro serious and down the neck.

weight is seen rsonable bte.
As a BMW fan I immediately loved the design, but parat we may not like ...
Regarding ergonomics, everything is the o should only miss a switch to turn the microphones or SERIES parrallle or have a nice silent!
We quickly found the right sound, because even "any dish" is a rgal, but can have multiple type of sound, thanks to EQ and balance between the two microphones.
SOUNDS
I play rock, pop, funk, rap, I was not the bongo. When you made the sound so serious, you hear the power that distills the Bongo prcison and especially in the bass, especially dclenchez you panic your neighbors screaming Sismer Warning!
For the slap, it is idalie (sr there is less space than a 4-string).
I do not like playing with the microphone serious one because the sound is too round, which is IDAL for lovers of walking but I prfre a more prcis. The bongo is proving to be comfortable in many areas.
I played on a pod XT with a PA amp and two Bafle yamaha (38cm woofer), unfortunately it did not allow full expression of bongo. So I'll invest APRS multiple testing in a Mesa Boogie Walkabout Scout. With a real amp (not a box modlisation 350 worth no more than a DI ...) is a vamp! I leave the EQ of the amp flat and rings. No coloration of the sound, just the groove of the Bongo!
So an amp that does not fully Restitut gift but the sound of your bass, and where Bongo is a powerful dynamic prcis ...
Addition of the June 22, 2008
I finally fell for a Ampeg SVT 3Pro with a 4 x 10 "ampelg 410 HLF, and is the punishment with the Bongo, adchire simply, sound is standard I love this bass I leave the amp on all flat and I just gre from the bongo.
In short if you go for the sub, a kill!
OVERALL OPINION
I've had 8 months and it is a joy! Thank you BMW and Music Man
What I like most is the potato. Ms. collgues my most "old school" fell in love.
I tried a sting ray, the Fender Precision, the jazz bass 5 string etc ... I took the bongo silent because it over (unfortunately the price is too ...), the next one Fender Roscoe Beck signature 4-string for fun ...
The price of the Bongo is lev (thank you Dad Vigier ...), but it's a real treat.
Warning big BMOL ... The bongo is sold without a fly box! In 2200 I find almost more than average, luckily the store offered me one, so think rclamer!
Biensr I would do without this choice hsitation.
