Musicman Bongo 4H Ice blue 2009 - price drop! £999 - *SOLD* £1099 Essex

[Philly]

Putting my bongo up for sale or ideally trade. I wanted one for a while and love playing it but doesn’t really fit in with my current band. 

 

It’s a great bass - light, very comfortable to play, and sounds great,  it’s got a monster high output! 3 band eq, weight is around 8.5lbs. 

 

Its in great condition for the age, no real dings or scratches on it other than a bit of buckle rash on the neck plate on the back. Only thing to note is that the neck and body are a slightly different shade, the body slightly paler than the neck. It’s been like this since I’ve had it, can only assume they are different paints that have aged differently. This should be visible in the pictures.

 

Never had the original case with it but have got a semi hard gator case for it. 

 

Im keen on trades for a Warwick, Ibanez ehb, or Dingwall 5 strings, but maybe 4s.

Oh that's fantastic, don't see many 4H's and certainly not in that finish!

 

[AndyTravis]

Oh crap.

[Old Horse Murphy]

I approve 👍

[Eldon Tyrell]

Man, I love what I am seeing. Cool stuff. However, could you please do me a favour and increase the price significantly? At this price, it is way too tempting 😉

Thanks! These comments are making me doubt selling it! If anyone wants to offer more that is fine.

The one thing I regret about going short scale was selling my Bongo 4H to fund the switch.  These are fantastic instruments - way more versatile than most people imagine.  This one's a beauty - GLWTS, I'm sure it won't be here too much longer.

What are the controls for this bass? Volume, treble, mid, bass?

Yes exactly that

Think I sold you this bass. It is a very lovely bass and plays and sounds great. I simply had to move a few basses on as was running out of storage.

Yeah it must have been you. I was contacted by dub junkie to let me know the history of the bass, I believe you bought it from him! 
 

It is a wonderful bass, similar to you I need to clear some space! 

[MarkusWarwick]

What an absolutely stunning bass..... If I hadnt just bought myself a new piece of loveliness, I would have snapped your hand off for it

[Bunion]

Just to many basses at home but I’m a bit sad, I’d love to try one of these out 😞
