Bongo 4H Vs Stingray Special 4H

[Nicholas Smith]

Good evening.

Simple question:

Does anyone have any direct experience using both of these basses?

I own the Bongo (2004) but often find it is too powerful for my Scarlett 2i2 at 18v and can easily distort.

I also have a Stingray at 9v that never distorts.

I have an itch to ditch my Bongo for a Stingray Special also at 18v.
Is it as hot as the Bongo or have they changed the output at all to stop this?

Thank you.

I can't honestly say that I can feel much level difference between my Bongo and Stingray. Seems like simply turning down the input on your amp would take care of any diff . . .
