Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Music Man's Bongo 6 is a 34-inch-scale, six-string electric bass with a solid basswood body, select maple bolt-on neck, and 24-fret ebony fingerboard in the Dazzler version. Two proprietary neodymium humbuckers feed an 18V four-band active preamp. Volume, pickup blend, treble, high-mid, low-mid, and bass controls give the player direct command of the instrument's electronic settings. The Bongo body uses a double-cutaway layout, while a hardened-steel Music Man bridge with stainless-steel saddles and lightweight tuning machines complete the hardware.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Six-string bass parts requiring separate control of bass, low-mid, high-mid, and treble settings.
- Players who need 24 frets and a double-cutaway Bongo body layout.
- Bass rigs using an active instrument with dual neodymium humbucker pickups.
