The Bongo represents everything a modern bass should be: well-balanced, comfortable, resonant, and expressive with effortless playability. The double-cutaway basswood body design is of superior construction and, along with a 24-fret neck, offers unimpeded access for high-register two-octave fretwork. The Bongo is available with two Ernie Ball Music Man proprietary humbucking pickups, a 4-band EQ, Neodymium magnets, and an 18V active preamp that delivers a powerful combination of unparalleled tonal diversity.


18-Volt Preamp:

An 18-volt 4-band preamp with extra clean headroom lets you dial in everything from modern punch to classic, vintage tones.

Finest Materials:

Hand-selected body and neck woods are sustainably sourced from our network of hardwood suppliers worldwide. Basswood, ebony, and maple tonewoods are individually chosen and matched for their beautiful appearance and rich tonal qualities.
