The unmistakable Bongo bass design comes to Sterling by Music Man in this 4-string model, combining bold styling, modern ergonomics, and versatile active electronics in a highly playable instrument. Finished in striking Firemist Purple Satin with a matching headstock, the Bongo stands out immediately while retaining the practical features serious bassists need.

The sculpted Bayur body features the Bongo's distinctive deep cutaways and flowing contours, giving the bass a modern look while providing comfortable access across the full fingerboard. A roasted maple neck pairs with a rosewood fingerboard for a smooth, responsive playing feel, while the 34-inch scale length offers familiar tension and articulation.

Dual ceramic humbuckers provide a powerful, full-range foundation, with a pickup blend control and 2-band active preamp allowing quick adjustment from deep, rounded lows to brighter, more defined tones. Whether you need punch, warmth, clarity, or a balanced blend of both pickups, the Bongo offers plenty of tonal flexibility.

Black hardware and the black oval pickguard/control plate complement the satin purple finish, while open-gear tuners, a Sterling by Music Man-designed bridge, and a sturdy 6-bolt neck joint complete the package.
