FS: EB Music Man Bongo 6 HS Sterling Silver w/ OHSC

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi fellow TB-ers,

I have an Ernie Ball Music Man Bongo 6 HS for sell in a new / like new condition. I bought this bass from Bass Central last year, and I only played the bass twice in my non-smoking and no pet practicing room twice (that's correct, twice for only about 10 minutes each) since the bass arrived. The bass still even has the tag on it, and the pick guard still has the plastic covered.

Being a fan of Dream Theater, I bought this bass because I'm also a big fan of John Myung (as you can see from the HS config. and Sterling Silver finish with black pickguard, although I believe he plays the black finish nowadays). I don't have any 5 or 6 strings bass, so I bought this bass to play the Dream Theater songs, because most of them required at least 5 string (low B) bass. Also, I already own a Music Man Bongo 4 HH which is my main bass right now; therefore, I know that this Music Man Bongo 6 won't disappoint.

The main reason I'm selling this bass is because I never have time to play it. The bass has been stayed inside the hardshell case all the time, and I even put the hardshell case inside the shipping box to protect it and avoid dust. I love this bass especially the looks and the finish, but I really never have time to transcribe, learn, and practice the Dream Theater songs because of school and works. Besides, I also now realize that I'm more of the 4 strings guy.

I'm asking $1500 OBO + shipping (Paypal preferred) for this bass. If you would like to get this bass insured, just let me know. I also include a new set of D'Addario Pro Steels 6 strings, so you can have a fresh string to support this bass as a new condition. Return is accepted within 7 days as long as the bass is returned in the same condition, and also with a very good reason, of course

For this time I'm not considering shipping outside the US, however if you are really serious about this bass, you can PM me and we might work something out.

Below is the link from the Music Man website about this bass,

Bongo 6

And here below, I share a lot of pics on photobucket. I'm pretty sure that you won't be disappointed with this bass, and thank you for your interest. I might new to TalkBass and don't have any feedback yet, but I've been following this forum for a while. If you have any questions, you can always PM me, and I'll be happy to answer all of your questions.

Thanks, this finish, black, and stealth are the best finishes for MusicMan Bongo 6 in my opinion.

Unfortunately this is a 6
The neck is a little bit wider than the 5, and maybe you don't need the extra high C string, but if you want to give this bass a try, just let me know. Maybe we can work something out, and I'll give lower price for you. Thanks.

What a stunner. I have a 5 HS as a secondary to my 5 HH and I always wished one of them was a 6. Might have to try to move the HS so I can take a shot at this bad boy.
