I think so too. The price is fair. By the way the Bongo is gone. No surprise of course. It’s a fantastic bass.

Thanks man. We’ll see if there’s some interest at all I guess. I’ve no idea tbh.

Well I suppose it's a matter of personal preference for all of us isn't it. I think they're two very different instruments. The Bongo 5HH is definitely the best 34" scale 5-string bass I ever had. I just found my personal home with the Lull basses after being endorsed by Spector for quite a long time until the company was bought by Korg. Most of the Lull 5-strings have 35" scale lengths but it doesn't feel like it at all. Still surprised by it to be honest. The only other time I experienced that particular playability with a 35" 5-string was with a US made Lakland 55-02 that I had tested in a shop years ago. So that's my story regarding the "holy grail". For now at least.

At the moment (and hopefully forever) a Mike Lull M5

It’s just down the road👌😂It’s in Stg but I’m lowering the price now to 2200 Euro including shipping until this coming Sunday.

Sorry no😂doesn’t suit the roads down here

Music Man Bongo 5 HH Harvest Orange incl. Original Hardshell Case. According to the serial number it's from the 1st of August 2022. I bought it in October 2022 and I still have the invoice and cardboard box that it came in. The bass is in absolute meticulous (like new), pristine condition. No damages whatsoever. The plastic film is still on the pickguard and it's stringed with the original factory strings. No neck heaviness due to the new Custom Music Man Tuning Machines that are superior to the old Clover-Style tuning machines regarding the overall balance. Bottom line is you get a top like-new instrument for over 30% less than the current original price. I found my holy grail 5-string bass so I'm considering to sell this one even though I already thought about keeping it.
