The versatility and power of active electronics with 4-band EQ.
The Ernie Ball Music Man Bongo 5 HH BFR bass delivers powerful, articulate tone and comfortable modern playability. With its double-cutaway basswood body and fast 24-fret neck, the Bongo 5 provides unimpeded access across its wide fingerboard. The Bongo 5 features two Ernie Ball Music Man proprietary humbucking pickups, a 4-band EQ and an 18V active preamp for a combination of tones suitable for any musical genre.
Superior Construction and Finish
The Bongo 5's basswood body boasts a sleek satin finish, providing a lightweight yet resonant foundation for your playing. Its maple neck is finished in hand-rubbed oil for a smooth, natural feel. Stainless steel frets allow for low-friction string bending and silky slides along the neck. The Bongo 5's superior construction will withstand years of enthusiastic playing while keeping you comfortable during long practice or performance sessions.
Fast Neck and Low Action
The Bongo 5's fast maple neck and low action provide effortless playability. Its slim, rounded profile allows your hand to glide smoothly up and down the neck, while its flat 12" radius keeps strings close to the frets for easy fingering and string bending. Jumbo frets make it easy to articulate each note cleanly and accurately. The Bongo 5's neck design minimizes hand fatigue, even during extended practice sessions.
Powerful Pickups and Active Electronics
The Bongo 5's dual humbucking pickups provide a powerful, articulate voice with punchy lows, rich mids and cutting highs. An active 18V preamp and 4-band EQ grant you total control over your tone, allowing you to boost or cut frequencies to suit your needs. From bright and snappy to deep and thunderous, the Bongo 5 delivers any sound you need.
Versatile and Expressive
With premium pickups and electronics as well as a fast, comfortable neck, the Bongo 5 is an extremely versatile and expressive bass. Its articulate tone suits any genre from rock to jazz, R&B to prog. Superior construction and high-quality components provide an instrument built to inspire, with the playability and sound to convey the full range of your musical imagination.
