Bongo Bass Gets New Stealth Black Finish

Music Man is offering a new option for the Bongo with a sleek new flat black finish.

Other highlights include, black hardware (bridge, tuning system, neck plate), black nut, black knobs, and black pole pieces. The Bongo features include an evolved artistic shape, advanced electronics, color coordination and a patented compensated nut that greatly improves intonation according to the company.

Several Music Man artists including Tony Levin, Dave LaRue, Cliff Hugo and Phil Chen provided input and testing during the initial development of the Bongo. The basses are constructed with basswood bodies, maple necks, choice of pickup configurations, and available in 4- or 5-string models.
