Music Man Bongo 5 HH Blood Orange

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

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

The tonal palette is truly exceptional. Two neodymium humbuckers deliver a clear, defined tone with a tight low end and a rich, layered midrange. What truly sets the Bongo apart is its 4-band active preamp with separate controls for volume, pickup blend, 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 fingerboard plays smoothly and comfortably thanks to the Bongo neck profile and an 11" radius. With 24 high profile wide stainless steel frets and the distinctive custom half-moon inlays, the fingerboard is as functional as it is visually distinctive. Custom Music Man lightweight tuners with tapered string posts ensure stable tuning. Scale length 34", delivered with a soft case.

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