Music Man Bongo 5H

Sign in to disble this ad
Due to my recent amp failure I'm looking to sell my recent acquisition, a Bongo 5 string with single humbucker. It does have some scratches on the end of the headstock from the previous owner, but it is mark free on the rest of the bass. It comes with a Gator hard case and a Python pickguard. Looking for $950 plus shipping, but any reasonable offer will be considered. No bass trades, but I may be interested in amps. Local pickup is available for southern Illinois/St Louis metro area.

Here's a few better pics of the color out in real light.







Here's a photo of the headstock

Thanks for the bonus bump! Someone buy it so I can get a rig bigger than a Rumble 15!

The one time I played a Bongo H, I really liked it. I sure wish I had something to trade for this bass.

There's been some killer prices on Bongo's and such lately. Making me very nervous.

If only it wasn't blue. Great price though, I have always wanted a single H bongo!

I don't believe it's blue. Looks like Graphite to me.

Or, Sapphire Black.

Hopefully by the end of the day I can borrow a camera that works. I'll try to get some with natural light too. The bass is graphite gray so hopefully I can get a picture that shows it better!
