The Music Man Classic on a New Affordable Version
Sterling by Music Man is proud to announce the release of the Bongo, a modern classic reimagined for a wider range of players. Long celebrated for its distinctive design and bold sound, the Bongo is now available in both 4- and 5-string configurations at an accessible price point—bringing its signature style and performance to a broader audience.
Comfort Meets Performance
The Bongo has always been known as a player’s instrument, blending ergonomic comfort with uncompromising expression. Featuring a roasted maple neck paired with a rosewood fingerboard, it delivers a smooth, responsive playing experience. The bass’s sleekly contoured body and deep cutaways provide effortless upper-fret access, making it as comfortable on stage as it is in the studio.
Versatile Electronics
At the heart of the Bongo’s tone is its HH dual humbucker pickup configuration, complete with a pickup blend control and a 2-band active EQ. This setup ensures powerful, punchy lows, articulate highs, and a wide tonal palette that adapts to any style or genre. Whether anchoring the groove or cutting through the mix, the Bongo is ready to shape the perfect tone.
Defy the Norm
Visually, the Bongo has never been afraid to break the mold—and the Sterling by Music Man version continues that tradition. With its bold, sleek finishes and color-matched headstock, the instrument exudes a modern aesthetic that’s built to stand apart on any stage.
Available Now
The Sterling by Music Man Bongo is available immediately in 4- and 5-string models, offering players more options to match their musical needs. With its combination of comfort, versatility, and unique style, the Bongo delivers everything bassists have come to love—now in a more accessible package.
