One of them has the Stingray body. I didn't make it ot NAMM this year, so I missed how they sound. Did anyone get to try them out?

I've played Dave LaRue's prototype 4 string and 5 string Bongo (I work with him at Bass Central) and I gotta say they sound very good. My favorite pickup combo was the MM/MM. It's a little tight for slapping, but you get used to it. I really like the preamp on it. It's a 4 band eq... Hi Hi Mid Low Mid Low set up...it's cool. All in all, i'd say they're worth the money, even if they do look a little like toilet seats

They do look alot better in person, however.
