Ergonomically designed with beautifully smooth curves, the Bongo series represents what a modern bass should be.
The double-cutaway basswood body is well-balanced, resonant, and comfortable to play, and the 24 frets allow for fingering up to two octaves into the upper register.
A single humbucker with neodymium magnet, in combination with an active circuit with a 4-band equalizer, allows for a wide range of sound creation.

There are minor scratches, small dents, metal parts with tarnish and scratches, and other signs of use.
Scratches on the side of the neck, scratches on the pickups, and the body is in relatively clean condition.
There is no noticeable abnormality on the neck, and there are no problems with the playing condition.
