2005 Ernie Ball Music Man 5-String Bongo Electric Bass Guitar

Here's a nice 5-string Bongo bass in "carbon blue pearl." As with all EB Music Man products, it's well-thought out, comfortable and ergonomic in design, and has excellent tone with a ridiculous amount of customizability through the various active controls.

This one arrived here via consignment and it just needed "the usual mild adjustments" before it was ready to hang up in the racks for sale. It has been gigged a good number of times and there's mild wear to the instrument but overall it's been babied and is in good order.

Repairs included: a fret level/dress, mild cleaning, and setup.

Condition notes: it's pretty clean throughout but does show light use marks and wear and tear here and there -- small scuffs, scratches, and dings. The strings are almost new LaBella flats but the D string has a nick in it way up to the top of the fretboard extension. We "rolled it over" so it's not an issue but if the "dented" bit rolls back over to face the frets, it may buzz slightly in the last 3 or 4 frets. This is a string thing, not a fret thing -- the frets have been leveled and dressed and are good to go.


It comes with: its original hard case.
