FS/FT: Music Man Bongo 5 HSp Dargie Delight II Fretless

Manfloozy · #1 08-01-2010, 07:03 PM

For sale is my very nice, mwahnster of a fretless Bongo. It is in the beautiful Dargie Delight II color changing finish... caramel candy apple.

It is the 5-string HSp model with the Single coil in neck position, humbucker at the bridge and piezo equiped saddles. The board is beautiful unlined fretless ebony!!!

Those unfamiliar with the Bongo, it uses neodymium magnets for a full range tone and a phatom coil for hum cancelling on the single coil pickup. The pickup and piezo/magnet pan controls plus the powerful 4-band EQ make it EXTREMELY versatile. I've gotten phat punchy modern tones, to pseudo-upright on this baby. The frequency response is also amazing, crazy harmonics to earth shattering low end.

I am asking $1450 shipped and insured to the lower 48, and Paypal is fine. Original HSC and case candy are included... and a set of EB Superlocks is installed and included as well. I'll throw a fresh set of Slinkys on prior to shipping too.

Trades I'm currently interested are:
Markbass Momark
Markbass Little Mark Tube
Markbass TA-501
Epifani Cabs
Markbass Cabs / Combos
Mesa Boogie Walkabout / Scout

Thanks for looking, if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!

Bump for a good guy and what is probably the only bass in this configuration and color made.

Thanks brother. It's a great, and very powerful instrument... I hope to find it a good new home.

My video of -THIS- bass will be up today... but I can't play nearly as well as these cats!

Here is the video walkthrough. I need to get my camera woman (aka the wife) to hold it for the audio demo.

I also have my Fender Tony Franklin Signature Fretless up FS/FT... I'm only selling one... so whichever goes first.

Here is the sound demo walkthrough.... I apologize ahead of time for the actual playing.
