About this listing
The unmistakable Bongo bass is now available from Sterling by Music Man, bringing its bold, modern design and versatile electronics to an accessible 5-string platform. Finished in striking Firemist Purple Satin with a matching headstock, the Bongo 5 stands apart visually while delivering the comfort, playability, and tonal flexibility modern bassists demand.
The sleekly contoured Bayur body features the Bongo's distinctive deep cutaways for comfortable playing and easy access across the full 24-fret fingerboard. A roasted maple neck and rosewood fingerboard provide a smooth, responsive playing feel, while the full 34-inch scale maintains familiar tension and definition across all five strings.
For electronics, the Bongo 5 is equipped with a pair of ceramic humbuckers controlled by a pickup blend knob and 2-band active preamp. The combination makes it easy to move from deep, authoritative lows to articulate, defined tones while blending the two pickups to suit your playing style.
Black hardware and pickguard complement the satin purple finish, while open-gear tuners, a Sterling by Music Man-designed bridge, and a sturdy 6-bolt neck joint round out a bass built for serious everyday playing.
