I decided to repost my Bongo because the old as was a trade feeler and I've decided to go a different route.

Still wouldn't mind doing a trade on this, but I'm only really interested in a Music Man. Which one you ask? I'd consider any but would give preference to a 5 string or a Big Al. Also like maple over rosewood but its not a deal breaker. I really don't need another bass at this point but would consider an EBMM.

Sale price is gonna be dropped from my previous ad. I am asking $825 shipped in the CONUS. May ship elsewhere but any extra shipping cost is buyers responsibility. I've not had very good luck with Paypal in previous experience so lets say cashiers check or money order on this one. Cash is also nice too if you're local ($800 locally).

Now to the good stuff! This bass is near mint. Only two minor blemishes which I'm attaching photos to show. One scratch near the jack and a small ding near the controls. Comes with a Roadrunner hardshell which is in very good shape but has a funny smell that's been there since I got it from the original owner. Bass recently restrung with a set of EB Power Slinky rounds. Also had a fretboard oil and clean up. She's ready to rock!

Enough rambling... on to pics! Thanks TB!

Last one to show the lack of the typical dings at the end of the headstock like most Bongos get.

Ok, to answer a few questions I've gotten...

Not really looking for amps at the moment and would like to stick very close to the trades I mentioned.You can run other stuff by me, but I'm pretty picky right now on trades (Musicman or Fender Am. Deluxe P or J with hopefully a maple board)

The neck is in great shape, no truss rod issues and is good and straight. I keep it at medium action but will go nice and low if you choose.

The case smell.... it reminds me of the smell of a house that has cats in it. Maybe the last owner had cats...not sure. The bass will smell like that if it sits in the case for awhile, but goes away when it sits out. I checked that it was the case by putting another bass in there and it was the same way.
