NBD: 2003 Music Man Bongo in Lava Pearl

Nice score. I've got three Bongos (fretted and fretless 5's and a six) and they're just phenomenal instruments.

 

Some people complain that they look weird, or are heavy (older ones are - they upgraded them all to aluminium hardware and lightweight tuners a few years back), but then they hear what they sound like and, all of a sudden, they want to buy one. :D

 

The Bongo is basically EB's testbed instrument - they try stuff out in the Bongo range before adding it to their more mainstream instruments. The 4-band EQ on the Reflex is the same one that was in the Bongo several years earlier, and the lightweight hardware on the new Stingrays was also first used on the Bongo.
