Quality Control on...

I am very interested to know about the quality control on Bongo's. I just played one this weekend and i fell in love with the 4 band eq. The problem is i don't have the cash to spend on that sort of thing right now. I was wondering if they had any quality control problems so i could not feel bad about buying one online used.
 
I just picked up a new active Sub 5 (for $499) from GC. It was perfectly set up (!) and plays like a dream. I was astounded at how solidly it is put together (6 bolt neck joint) and the quality of the fit and finish (the Subs have a textured finish). It's built like a brick s**t house. After seeing the craftsmanship they put into a "budget" bass like the Sub 5, I'd have no qualms about buying an EBMM product sight unseen. EBMM and Hamer USA instruments are the only instruments I'd buy that way with no fear.
