I have a Bongo 5 HHp, and it's a great bass, though in retrospect I kinda wish I'd gone for the HSp, to get that single coil sound in the neck position.

I just got an HHp, and I find it extremely versatile. I'm playing in a cover band and it hits a home run with probably 95% of the set list so far (mainly modern rock/alternative stuff).

I just got a Bongo 5 HH in the Desert Gold. My first MM bass too.

The dual pup configuration gets a 4 band EQ - the single pup is a 3 band. So, I would suggest the dual pups.

I just wish that they had coil taps so I could go from humbucker to single coil sounds - and mix n match.

oi.. slapping on the hh bongo isnt hard.. its the popping that might be troublesome
you just have to find the arm position that allows your finger to "enter" at the right spot..
i was lucky enough to just strap the bass on and be exactly at that spot without any discomfort of any kind.. whatsoever..

actually, its not quite true.....
my wallet was in discomfort but i am its master so it had to obey my rules
