    welp...looking for a good sixer and the Bongo HH has caught my eye. not sure if this is forum verboten, but i thought i'd ask anyone for their experience with this bass.

    thank you in advance! :bassist:

    Balances okay, wider neck than I like, one of the best bass tones out there.

    The Bongo HH 6 is on my wishlist. There's a great review on YouTube done by the Bass Whisperer, Ed Friedland.

    EXCELLENT choice for a good 6er! I wish I had one in my herd.
    Style is not to everyone's taste, but tone usually is.

    PS. Take your wallet.

    that bass is on my "if I ever become a studio bass player" list. I can't get behind the looks, but I'm not sure I've played a nicer, more tonally diverse base, especially if you get the HHp

    I passed on a red bongo 6 hh for $1000.

    Shoot me.

    If you dig the look (I do) they're just about unbeatable.
