Hey guys.
Decided to move on the Bongo, its not really the bass for me, i dont need a 4 band EQ or the extra humbucker on the neck. Looks bloomin evil though!
Description
Here we have an excellant example of a Musicman Bongo V, its an earlyish built one.
Specification
Stealth black finish, pretty rare! Basswood body, unsure of the neck (Probably maple) rosewood fingerboard, with half moon inlays. All original pickups and 4 band preamp. All hardware is black, 34" Scale, nice Stingray-esq neck. Completely original.
Comes with a high quality Gator hardcase
Functionality
Absoloutely no problems electrically or structurally, all electronics are working smoothly. The pre-amp runs very hot (18volt) Volume/Balance/Bass/Low Mid/High Mid/Treble controls. Trussrod is 100% functional.
Playability
Plays like a Musicman should! No problems here. Lovely player! Just intonated it myself last night.
Sounds
Sounds a little smoother then a stingray, more refined, but also with more power, clean tone is massive. Growl can be had using the 4 band EQ. Really fat sound.
Condition
The only ding worth mentioning is the one on the upper horn on the front of the bass that you can see in the photos. Frets and fingerboard is in great condition.
Price/Trades
Same what i paid for it
£930. (Heres a link to the Ebay page.
