Ernie Ball Music Man Bongo 4 HS

2003 Egyptian Smoke (USA)

For sale is my 2003 Ernie Ball Music Man Bongo 4 HS in the rare and highly sought-after Egyptian Smoke finish. Made in the USA, this is one of the early Bongo models and delivers the powerful modern Music Man tone the series is known for: huge output, exceptional clarity, and a massive range of tones from vintage-style warmth to aggressive contemporary punch.

The previous owner unfortunately did not take care of such beautiful instrument properly. You can see it has some battle scars there, when I picked it up originally the jack also needed to be replaced. I had it setup by my local shop and now it plays beautifully with low action and still great fret life.
