Player's Perspective
Ditch the speedbumps and gliiiiiiide your way to bassful bliss!
Music Man's Bongo bass doesn't really resemble anything else on the market. It's not a tweaked version of a popular design; it's a completely new and different instrument with powerful electronics and wonderfully unique looks that were literally designed by race car engineers. Embraced by the rock community but really up for anything, the Bongo has versatile on-board controls that'll let you dial in your sound before even looking at your amp's EQ. The tone is beefy and full, with clear harmonics and plenty of punch. It's perfect for players who need that extra kick in their tone. The neck is comfortable and fast with totally unrestricted upper register access. If you're looking for a powerful bass that's a little different than the rest, this is the way to go. The Pau Ferro fretboard is harder and more resilient than rosewood so roundwound strings won't completely chew it up. This bass "mwahs" with the best of 'em!
