Music Man Bongo 5 HH Blood Orange

The Music Man Bongo 5 HH Blood Orange: five strings, double neodymium power and the most comprehensive preamp in its class

The Bongo is the bass with which Music Man showed that they are willing to reinvent everything. The distinctive design, the ergonomic body and the technically advanced electronics make the Bongo an instrument that immediately stands out and only impresses more upon closer inspection. In the color Blood Orange, the Bongo 5 HH is a statement on stage, and a precision instrument in the studio.

The tonal palette is nothing short of exceptional. Two neodymium humbuckers deliver a clear, defined tone with a tight low end and a rich, layered midrange. What really sets the Bongo apart is the 4-band active preamp with separate controls for volume, pickup balance, treble, high-mid, low-mid and bass. Where most basses stop at a 3-band EQ, the Bongo gives you the precise control of a studio mixer, right on your instrument. From deep, round fingerstyle tones to tight, present slap sounds: the Bongo 5 HH covers the full spectrum.

The basswood body is light and resonant, the maple neck with rosewood fretboard plays smoothly and comfortably thanks to the Bongo neck profile and an 11" radius. With 24 high profile wide stainless steel frets and the signature custom half-moon inlays, the fretboard is as functional as visually distinctive. Custom Music Man lightweight tuners with tapered string posts ensure stable tuning. 34" scale length, delivered with a soft case.

The Music Man Bongo 5 HH Blood Orange is the bass for the bassist who thinks beyond the standard.
