The Ernie Ball Music Man Bongo 6 HH – Stealth Black is a bold, forward-thinking six-string bass designed for players who demand extended range, precision control, and unmistakable modern style. With its instantly recognizable Bongo body shape and deep cutaways, this instrument is built for comfort and balance despite its expansive range. Finished in Stealth Black, the bass features a sleek matte polyester finish paired with matching black hardware and a painted neck, creating a stealthy, aggressive look that perfectly matches its powerful sonic capabilities.

Crafted from basswood, the body delivers a focused, even response across the entire frequency spectrum, allowing the electronics and pickups to shine. The 34" scale length provides a tight, articulate low B while maintaining clarity and playability on the high C string. A fast, flat 11" fingerboard radius and 24 high-profile, wide stainless steel frets make complex chord voicings, tapping, and extended-range techniques feel natural and effortless. The select maple neck, finished in matte to match the body, is securely mounted with a 5-bolt sculpted neck joint, ensuring smooth access to the highest frets.

The ebony fingerboard enhances articulation and attack, while distinctive custom half-moon fret markers add a signature visual touch. Thoughtful ergonomic details—such as the compact headstock and perfectly balanced body dimensions—help the Bongo 6 feel remarkably manageable for a six-string instrument. Custom Music Man lightweight tuning machines with tapered string posts keep the bass stable and well-balanced, and the adjustable truss rod allows quick setup changes without removing strings or hardware.

At the heart of the Bongo 6 HH is one of the most powerful and flexible electronic systems available in a production bass. The dual neodymium humbucking pickups deliver massive output, clarity, and extended frequency response, perfectly suited for modern styles. These pickups feed into a 4-band active preamp, offering precise tone shaping via volume, pickup balance, treble, high-mid, low-mid, and bass controls. This setup allows players to sculpt everything from deep, piano-like lows to cutting, aggressive mids and glassy highs with surgical precision.

Anchoring the tone is a Music Man hardened steel bridge with stainless steel saddles, finished in matte black to match the Stealth aesthetic, providing excellent sustain and rock-solid intonation. Strung with Slinky 6-String Bass strings (32–130) and built to exacting standards, the Ernie Ball Music Man Bongo 6 HH – Stealth Black is a modern performance instrument without compromise—ideal for progressive, fusion, metal, and any style that demands range, power, and total tonal control.
