Overview

Distinctive shape; fantastic tone!

Before you even play a note on the Music Man Bongo, you'll stand out just placing this distinctly shaped electric bass in your hands. Aesthetics aside, this fretless wonder is perfectly aligned by a 5-bolt joint attached to a select maple neck with an unlined (without inlaid fretlines) Pau Ferro fingerboard. A simple to adjust truss rod, dual neodymium humbuckers, piezo bridge pickup, and 3-band EQ give you massive tone shaping possibilities. Schaller BM tuners with tapered string posts help maintain smooth intonation, while the graphite acrylic resin-coated body cavity provides supreme noise shielding.
