I think so too. The price is fair. By the way the Bongo is gone. No surprise of course. It’s a fantastic bass. -
Thanks man. We’ll see if there’s some interest at all I guess. I’ve no idea tbh.

Well I suppose it's a matter of personal preference for all of us isn't it. I think they're two very different instruments. The Bongo 5HH is definitely the best 34" scale 5-string bass I ever had. I just found my personal home with the Lull basses after being endorsed by Spector for quite a long time until the company was bought by Korg. Most of the Lull 5-strings have 35" scale lengths but it doesn't feel like it at all. Still surprised by it to be honest. The only other time I experienced that particular playability with a 35" 5-string was with a US made Lakland 55-02 that I had tested in a shop years ago. So that's my story regarding the "holy grail". For now at least. -
It’s just down the road👌😂It’s in Stg but I’m lowering the price now to 2200 Euro including shipping until this coming Sunday.

Sorry no😂doesn’t suit the roads down here

Music Man Bongo 5 HH Harvest Orange incl. Original Hardshell Case. According to the serial number it's from the 1st of August 2022. I bought it in October 2022 and I still have the invoice and cardboard box that it came in. The bass is in absolute meticulous (like new), pristine condition. No damages whatsoever. The plastic film is still on the pickguard and it's stringed with the original factory strings. No neck heaviness due to the new Custom Music Man Tuning Machines that are superior to the old Clover-Style tuning machines regarding the overall balance. Bottom line is you get a top like-new instrument for over 30% less than the current original price. I found my holy grail 5-string bass so I'm considering to sell this one even though I already thought about keeping it. Specs: Body Wood: Basswood Body Finish: Harvest Orange - High gloss polyester Bridge: Standard - Music Man® chrome plated, hardened steel bridge plate with stainless steel saddles (Stealth Black finish features matte black hardware) Scale Length: 34" (86.4 cm) Neck Radius: 11" (27.9 cm) Frets: 24 - High profile, wide Neck Width: 1-3/4" (44.5 mm) at nut 2-13/16" (71.4 mm) at last fret Neck Wood: Select maple neck Fingerboard: Ebony Fret Markers: Custom Half-Moons Tuning Machines: Custom Music Man, lightweight with tapered string posts and ergonomic design Truss Rod: Adjustable - no component or string removal Neck Attachment: 5 bolts - Sculpted neck joint allows smooth access to higher frets Electronic Shielding: Graphite acrylic resin coated body cavity and aluminum control cover Controls: 4-band active preamp; vol, bridge/neck pickup balance, treble, high-mid, low-mid, bass Pickups: Dual Humbucking with Neodymium magnets Including Original Hardshell Case Weight: 4.0 Kg I can offer a Zoom chat or WhatsApp Video chat to show you the bass in detail too. Please no trade offers. Thanks. SHIPPING is possible. I still have the original cardboard box it came in.

Well it's the MR5S monorail bridge so the string spacing can be adjusted from 16.5mm to 18mm and/or anything in between. -
The neck is spectacular indeed (if one likes slim and "fast" 5 string necks that is of course)...not a fan of luxury wood either (I like it simple and plain)...but since this custom SR5 was offered to me through a trade I couldn't say no obviously...The craftsmanship is really incredible.

or a trade for a Spector Forte 5 or NS 5...
-
Please no trades unless it's a Mike Lull 5-String Bass, Sadowsky NYC (21 frets) 5-String Bass or a Music Man Bongo 5 HH (only with the newer light weight tuners). The price would be negotiable (naturally with limits...). Thanks.
