Stock EB Strings on EBMM Bongo 6

Does anyone know the exact string gauge?

Thanks,

Just received my Bongo6 last week. Couldn't tell you the exact gauge, but try the EBMM forums or EBMM customer service direct. They're excellent.
I removed my EB strings b4 playing a single note because mine is fretless and the last thing I wanted to do was mark my brand spankin new fingerboard from rounds. I'm amazed they don't ship them with flatwounds.

Musicman basses ship with EB Regular slinkies .45 - .130, or in the bongo's situation .32 - .130


From the Music-man.com bongo 6 page:
Strings:32w-45w-65w-80w-100w-130w (Slinky 6 String Bass #2838)

And from the EB Store:
6-string Slinky Bass Long Scale Nickel Wound .032 - .130 (P02838)

As long as Sterling Ball is there, I doubt any EBMM instrument will ever leave the factory strung with flats.
