Description

The iconic Bongo bass, now available from Sterling by Music Man, offers the same modern design players know and love. The Bongo features a roasted maple neck, sleekly contoured body, and deep cutaways, ensuring exceptional comfort and upper-register access. The dual humbuckers, pickup blend control, and 2-band EQ make it everything a modern bass should be. A modern masterpiece, the Bongo is celebrated for comfort and expression. A roasted maple neck and rosewood fingerboard provide a smooth feel, while the contoured body unlocks full access to the entire fretboard. The Bongo’s HH pickup configuration, pickup blend control, and 2-band EQ deliver a powerful low-end foundation with precise tonal shaping. From deep, punchy lows to clear, defined highs, it’s ready to dial in your perfect tone. An unconventional bass that breaks the mold, the Bongo demands bold aesthetics to match. With sleek finishes and a color-matched headstock, it’s built to stand apart.
