[Relist] FS/FT Bongo 5HH Fretless - Desert Gold

Sign in to disble this ad
TRADED - THANKS!!! [this was previously listed as "trade only," now for sale with more pics]

I'm the second owner of this bass, had it for about a year. The board is lined pau ferro, and is in great shape - very little observable wear. I've only used Elixir strings on it, and they are pretty easy on a board due to their coating (not to mention that pau ferro is quite hard to begin with).

Everything about this bass is wonderful, functionally there are no issues at all. Electronics are 100%, the neck is stable and the action low with no buzzing.
Great bass!

Cosmetically, there are three small dings in the finish; the obligatory Bongo headstock ding, and two on the upper side of the bass (visible from above while playing but not visible from the front, nor from more than 3 feet away). Obviously, none of these affects the playability of the bass. All dings are pictured below.

Ships in OHSC.



Possible trades (+/- cash):
- Fender Jazz fretless (MIA or CIJ)
- Fretless thumb 4 or 5
- Maybe some other 4 string fretless J basses

Many pics to follow... Thanks for looking!

sorry for the delay in replying - my computer has crashed 3 times today

to answer your question, you just play on the lines.
