Musicman Bongo Custom Headless 6 : £2500 £2000 Chelmsford UK

[Kev]

I forgot this existed! 😅 Looks really tasty in the new paint job, its definitely the one Music Man bass shape that suits headless for me.

 

Honestly, I think this should just be something you hang on to, if nothing else to annoy other Music Man fans.  😁

Having gone from a bongo hater to having one and absolutely loving it, I think this is a fantasic mod, looks really good, in fact looks like it was supposed to be that way.

I love this bass.

 

I can't afford it, but if it was mine I would find every excuse possible to post photos of it on the ErnieBall forum as often as I could 🤣

The severed headstock would be a good candidate for an overpriced EBMM official bottle opener....

To me - the most disturbing thing in this project is... The hardcase

 

GLWTS!

GLWTS! 

It's the perfect amount of space now for a gig packed lunch or for loading up merch in the 'ghost' space where the head once was 🤣

Spotted this on FB, looks 10x better with the new paint job and is an extremely good price. @PriZeMaN you may want to put the new pics above the old ones so people clicking on it can see what it looks like now when they first click on the thread, there's every chance people may not scroll all the way down if they think the bass is currently unfinished.

I was very critical when you first did this but well done on having turned it around so well. You should keep it 👍

Cheers Beedster! I would rather it get used and potentially showed off to the world as I'm only using my 5 string fretless at the moment 😊

Never saw this thread before (as a lefty I have very little business in this part of the forum) but WOW!

This thing has absolutely no right to look as cool as it does but I love it! I think this is the first time I've ever said anything positive about a Bongo.

Thank you so much, I put my heart into this project and I really appreciate that you took the time to share

Hello Hell Zero, sorry for the delay (think I need to change my notification settings).

The beast now weighs in at 4.7 Kilos.

Thanks @PriZeMaN, but still too heavy for my taste.

 

GLWYS.
