Key Features
The Music Man Bongo HH is a modern bass designed around balance, comfort, resonance, and exceptional tonal flexibility. Its distinctive double-cutaway basswood body provides a comfortable playing platform, with a sculpted five-bolt neck joint helping you reach all 24 frets with ease. The select maple neck is paired with an ebony fingerboard, 11" radius, high-profile wide stainless steel frets, and distinctive custom half-moon inlays. A 34" scale retains a familiar full-scale bass feel, while the matte black neck finish and ergonomic design complement the Bongo's sleek Stealth Black aesthetic.
Dual Music Man humbuckers use powerful neodymium magnets to provide strong output and an expansive tonal range. They're connected to an 18V active preamp with four-band EQ, giving you dedicated treble, high-mid, low-mid, and bass adjustment alongside volume and pickup balance controls. A hardened steel Music Man bridge with stainless steel saddles creates a solid foundation, while lightweight custom tuners improve balance and provide dependable tuning stability. Electronic shielding helps maintain a clean signal, completing a versatile instrument built for performance with style.

The Bongo's distinctive double-cutaway basswood body has been designed around comfort, balance, and unrestricted performance. Its sculpted form provides a resonant foundation while helping the instrument sit naturally against the player, making it equally suited to extended sessions and energetic performances. A five-bolt neck attachment incorporates a sculpted joint that keeps the upper register accessible, allowing you to take full advantage of the two-octave fingerboard. Finished in Stealth Black with a matte polyester body finish, the Bongo HH combines its unmistakably modern silhouette with a purposeful, understated appearance.
A select maple neck and ebony fingerboard give the Bongo HH a premium playing foundation designed for effortless movement across its full range. The 34" scale provides a familiar feel, while the 11" fingerboard radius offers a comfortable playing surface. Twenty-four high-profile, wide stainless steel frets provide two complete octaves of fretted range, with the sculpted neck joint making those upper positions readily accessible. Custom half-moon fret markers add a distinctive visual detail, while the matte black neck finish complements the Stealth Black aesthetic and completes the Bongo's sleek feel.
Two proprietary Music Man humbucking pickups give the Bongo HH a powerful and highly flexible voice. Neodymium magnets provide increased output and a broad range of available sounds, providing a strong foundation for everything from articulate modern tones to deeper, more traditional bass sounds. A dedicated pickup balance control lets you blend the bridge and neck humbuckers to suit the part, while the active electronics provide further shaping directly from the instrument. Graphite acrylic resin coating in the body cavity and an aluminium control cover provide electronic shielding, helping the Bongo deliver clean, confident performance.
An 18V active preamp gives the Bongo HH generous clean headroom and detailed four-band equalisation. Separate treble, high-mid, low-mid, and bass controls provide precise access to important areas of the frequency spectrum, while volume and pickup balance controls keep everyday adjustments intuitive. Music Man's hardened steel bridge plate and stainless steel saddles provide a robust anchor for the strings, complemented by lightweight custom tuning machines with tapered string posts and an ergonomic design. These tuners help create a more balanced feel at the neck while maintaining reliable tuning stability, rounding out the Bongo's thoroughly performance-focused specification.
