Manufacturer's Description

The 2024 Bongo collection is here! Available as 4, 5, and 6-string models, the Bongo now features stainless steel frets. The finishes have been meticulously crafted: Mantis Green and Blood Orange boast a stunning high gloss finish on the body, complemented by hand-rubbed oil and wax-finished necks. Meanwhile, Stealth Black and Titan Gray showcase a sleek 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 basswood body design is of superior construction and, along with a 24-fret neck, offers unimpeded access for high-register two-octave fretwork. The Bongo is available with two Ernie Ball Music Man proprietary humbucking pickups, a 4-band EQ, Neodymium magnets, and an 18V active preamp that delivers a powerful combination of unparalleled tonal diversity.

Highlights

  • Powerful preamp and neodymium pickups
  • 24 frets and custom half moon inlays
  • ergonomic light weight tuners

DESIGNED TO PERFECTION

The Bongo’s uniquely shaped body design is built for comfort and allows unparalleled access to all 24 high profile frets. The maple neck is outfitted with an ebony fretboard, half-moon inlays, and a custom neck carve, providing an ultra-comfortable playing experience.

Custom Designed Pickups

Ernie Ball Music Man custom-designed humbucking pickups feature powerful neodymium magnets, bringing you more output and a wider range of sounds.

Lightweight Hardware

18-Volt Preamp

An 18-volt 4-band preamp with extra clean headroom lets you dial in everything from modern punch to classic, vintage tones.

Finest Materials

Hand-selected body and neck woods are sustainably sourced from our network of hardwood suppliers worldwide. Basswood, ebony, and maple tonewoods are individually chosen and matched for their beautiful appearance and rich tonal qualities.
