I think they jumped the shark when they made the bongo.

| | | That's like asking "Should Fender just make Ps and Js?" ..... oh yeah .... they do....
Sterlings are popular Bongos are pretty popular too so I don't see why they would drop everything but Stingrays. Big Al?

As much as I love Stingrays it's on the bottom of the MusicMan line as far as features go. |

Of course, having one of the top selling brands of strings (not just talking bass strings) really allows them to innovate a little more freely.

*shrugs* | Why? Have you actually played the Bongo? Curious what your justification is. |

So, I disagree. For me, the Bongo's the best thing they've done.
