Hi guys. I have a Musicman Bongo HH5. I've had the bass for almost a year now, but I havn't really messed with the 4 band eq and blend control much. I don't really know how to go about using them. Suggestions?

Pickup blend at center detention is like having a volume control for both pickups set at about 50% giving equal volume from both pickups. Turning it counter clockwise starts reducing the neck pickup while increasing the bridge pickup until you are at max bridge and zero neck pickup. Turning it clockwise increases neck and decreases bridge pickup until dimmed you have neck @ 100% and bridge at 0. I would only be taking an educated guess that the other pots are master volume and preamp pots are bass boost/cut (center detent is flat w/ clockwise bass boost and counter clockwise bass cut) the others work similar are mid and treble. The mid May be low mid pot and a high mid pot
Ummm... Turn them to see how it changes the sound, then use the sounds you like or fit the song.
