Hi fellow lowenders,
For sale is a beautiful lava pearl red Musicman Bongo 5 string bass in Humbucker / Single Coil configuration.
The 4-band EQ Pre Amp is not only original Musicman, but also brand new. I recently ordered it from Ernie Ball/Musicman through Sinamex and their luthier Steven installed it and did a set up for the bass and also did an intonation check.
For my taste it is super comfortable to play with nice string tension.
4-band EQ
17.5mm string spacing
Bass is in 8/10 condition.
Strings are only a month old - Ernie Ball Super Slinkies .45
Only comes with a rather old gig bag, so you can transport this baby back home.
In view of the brand new electronics, asking for SGD 2250
Neck is straight with a little bit of relief for my preference.
