BONGO 5 HH
The 2024 Bongo collection has arrived! The Bongo now features stainless steel frets. The finishes have been meticulously crafted: Mantis Green and Blood Orange boast a stunning glossy finish on the body, complemented by hand-rubbed oil and wax finished necks. The Stealth Black and Titan Gray models, on the other hand, feature a satin finish on both the body and neck.
The Bongo represents everything a modern bass should be: well-balanced, comfortable, resonant, and expressive with effortless playability. The double-cutaway alder body is of superior construction and, with a 24-fret neck, offers unobstructed access to a two-octave fretboard in the upper register. The Bongo is available with two Ernie Ball Music Man humbucking pickups, a 4-band EQ, neodymium magnets, and an 18V active preamp that delivers a powerful combination of unparalleled tonal versatility.
