Product Overview
Bring together a fluid five-string design, active eighteen volt onboard three-band equalizer and a pair of supremely responsive Neodymium-powered humbuckers, the Ernie Ball Music Man Bongo 5 HH Bass Guitar is a whale of a low-end instrument. Capable of completely altering its tonal character through a combination of the five-way pickup selector and built-in preamp, this sonic chameleon plays nicely in heavier environments such as metal, prog, or thrash.
