Sorry for the delay, got a couple lengthy phone calls right in a row!

All right dude, here's some clips for you! I have a EBMM Stingray 5 with ash body and maple neck/fretboard. It's an HH with a 5-position coil selector switch. I went with the HH for the added versatility... Stingray sound with an additional pickup. The back pickup is in same location as the single H Stingrays and is "more of a traditional Stingray sound." My personal favorite is with the switch in the middle, which is all 4 coils on. Trebley and ballsy with a slight scoop in the mids, IMO. Sounds FANTASTIC through my live rig (Shuttle 6.0 into Avatar 2x10 and 2x12) with the volume up!

Hope it helps your decision making!

Wow that was great, thanks. I'm taking my Jazz to see the doctor for a check up next Tuesday. There's a GC close to his shop and I think I'll take a few axes for a test drive. EB Stingray with the dual pup, Lakland skyline 02 series, and a Ric... oh and a bongo!

Hopefully I'll find what I'm looking for although Im not quite sure I know what that is yet. I'll know when I hear it and hold it if its right. This will get me in the right direction. Thanks.

EBMM Bongo. It's about as extreme as you can get. It'll cut through any mix like butter. And it doesn't sound like any other bass out there.

The Bongo looks like a spaceship... I checked out samples on youtube and they are quiet nice. Easy to dial in a fat tone it seems.
