Bongo 6 - H vs HS vs HH

I'm very interested in this bass and I'm trying to figure out which configuration to get. The only problem is that none of the stores by me have them in the store to try out, and I can't find anywhere that has sound clips of each type. Also, the use of this bass is for slapping/tapping mostly but also for high fret soloing with clear low-end. If that helps at all. Can someone shed some light on the subject or at least help me find some place that can?

Thanks

hello soad freak

welcome to the forum!

this topic shows up on a regular basis. the latest post about it is this one:
Bongo5 HH vs. Bongo5 HS ?

there has not been a comparison test/review done yet, but we all hope that perhaps ed friedland might do something about that

less relief / flatter = lower action
more relief / bow = higher action
do NOT use cheap tools to adjust with. they might break and scrape up your guitar...

Trust me when I say this...you will not be dissapointed with any configuration of Bongo.

But go HS.
