It's like a PRS in a bass. Too much for me.

Kinda wish I kept my GP12 SMX 400 head or whatever the model name was. Bought new from Electro music. Once Trace sent me some different fuses it NEVER missed a beat. NEVER. I would have liked to have kept it for the fact it was so loud and reliable, and had a great clean clear tone. However, the Genz Shuttlemax 9.2 I have does basically the same so it had to go. Shame.

Clear guard looks awesome!

What a brand name...and the logo. Why?!

I never realised they stopped making H and HS Bongos.

Sorry not sure!

1. I am surprised it is only $3000 2. Unfortunately, USA only at the moment. https://shop.music-man.com/ernie-ball-music-man-john-myung-bongo-6-hh.html?___store=mm&utm_source=email&utm_campaign=myung_bongo_launch

Looks very GK-like....

Looks excellent. They've nailed that paisley.

Aye, this. Almost every single neck without a full painted neck has this from them (exceptions include the Classic Stingray etc). They don't put that lacquer on the back of the next.

Agreed. I have a fair few Musicman instruments, and none of the basses have a weak G. Don't fiddle with the pickup magnets yet...try a few other options.

The Stingray sounds incredible as a fretless.

If I ever get a new bass head, I'll be going Mesa.

Just don't spend loads more....Andertons have it for a hugely inflated price.

I definitely like the latest wave of Musicman BFRs.....especially the Ray 5 and the Albert Lee P90 x 3. Musicman have always said they can't offer a semi custom shop; mind you if you are one of their artists you get some amazing options. One day, I will get a St Vincent guitar!

Jees, that is incredibly nice for such a crazy low price!

Nice spec and I love the white J pickup. Is it a custom USA bass? I would definitely want some funds towards a re-setup with Mr Shuker.

I bought a NOS (not intentionally....it was literally new old stock) 65 Jaguar from Peach Guitars, and the guitar was perfect (and I still have it) but there were some nitro related stress marks like the one in this topic (probably smaller though). That was different. The whole batch of guitars were heavily discounted to clear out the Fender EU warehouse apparently. I was very lucky to get some a wonderful instrument for that price. However, on a brand new instrument that has just been manufactured? Nope. I wouldn't be happy. Also, it just seems the bass isn't quite up to expectations, and the customer service is absolutely horrific. I wouldn't buy one now. I would just offer you a full refund if I was him, and have the bass refinished or sold as b stock. Simple. No stress.

Well, I was going to go for the Strat, got a good price lined up, but decided against it as the spec was lesser than my current Strat. The black paisley is really cool but I can't justify an instrument at the moment purely on finish.

Everyone I've asked has said it's the coolest paisley they've seen. Paisley is only reserved for cool people now. I've reserved a strat....I might go for it.

I was going to get the Strat but it appears to have sold out at most places, understandably.
