Playground_Martyr Posted October 16, 2010 Posted October 16, 2010 (edited) I originally bought this a few months ago because I couldn't find the exact Stingray I was after. Ironically a couple of weeks later I managed to get one from a fellow Basschatter so I've decided to move this on to help fund another acquisition. The colour is Sapphire Black with a black pearloid scratchplate. Full spec for the bass can be found here [url="http://www.music-man.com/instruments/basses/bongo-4.html"]http://www.music-man.com/instruments/basses/bongo-4.html[/url] Condition-wise it's excellent. There is a slight ding at the top of the headstock, a cosmetic scratch just above the plate on the back and what I can only describe as a slight 'blemish' on the back of the neck. There is also slight wear on one of the pots.They are all very unnoticeable unless you scrutinise the bass closely. I've tried to take the clearest pictures of these as I can. Also included is an original Musicman 30th Anniversary hardcase. The set-up is nice and low. There are a large array of tones on offer from the twin humbucker pickups. I think this was made sometime in 2005, going by the serial number. Sale price is [s]£800[/s] £750. Not looking for any trades right now thanks. I can post at buyers expense. I live on the Wirral if anyone wants to try the bass out. Pictures added below. Thanks for looking.

If anyone is in any doubts about buying a bongo,,,,then dont. Buy it now and thank me later. Infact,,,,,Gareth,,,,,,,,,,,why is this bongo not in your sig already????????????
Playground_Martyr Posted October 21, 2010 Author Posted October 21, 2010 Had a few interesting trade offers but nothing came of them. Still available!
munkonthehill Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 I dont understand the resale of these basses!!! brand new they go for approx the same as a ric, however a ric retains their resale value whereas these drop by half straight away. Its outrageous. I think 800bucks is well too cheap for such an amazing bass!!! Just my 2p
