    Best way to improve my bass sound?

    $500 gallien krueger 115 combo amp (200 solid state watts) or a $500 peavey TNT 115 combo amp (500 solid state watts) may be some options to consider. I love my GK combo

    Buying In Store vs. Online.

    I bought my EBMM bongo online from gc 2 years ago. I used my $250 off coupon along with the 25% off sale and saved some big cash! If it was lacking in some way I could have just returned it. I've purchased roughly 90% of my gear online and plan to keep it that way. If I get my wallet out...

    How Do You Listen To Music?

    One specific thing I do, is surely annoying even to myself when I notice it. When I'm seeing a live band in a bar, drinks are sometimes served to me rapidly and I become very critical of every little thing they do. I make comments on how a certain riff is both ripped off AND performed poorly...

    MusicMan Cases - Will a Bongo 5 HH fit...

    I'm not sure about older models maybe having a different case, but there is no possibility of a ray fitting in my bongo case. It fits the bongo's unique shape very snug
