Sterling by Music Man Bongo 5 Bass – Firemist Purple Satin
Bold design. Powerful tone. Built for the modern player.
The Sterling by Music Man Bongo 5 Bass reimagines contemporary bass design with its striking look, ergonomic body, and deep tonal flexibility. Crafted with an Indonesian mahogany body, roasted maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard, the Bongo delivers a smooth, fast feel and balanced resonance across all five strings.
Its dual ceramic humbuckers, pickup blend control, and 2-band active EQ offer exceptional tonal range — from thick, punchy lows to crystal-clear highs. The sleek contours and deep cutaways make it one of the most comfortable basses to play, while the Firemist Purple Satin finish and colour-matched headstock give it a commanding stage presence.
