Ernie Ball / MusicMan Bongo 5, HH/p, sapphire black
Posted: Wed Jun 11, 2008 11:45 pmI have a 5 string Ernie Ball / MusicMan Bongo bass I don't much use anymore. I've found "my" tone in Spectors, and since I got my 6 string USA, this thing sits in the case.
It's a black pearl color with rosewood fretboard. It seems that you can't get this black pearl anymore, just flat black.

There *are* some cracks on the front of the body, right where the knobs are. While they're easy to see when playing, they're not easy to see at a distance, and they're pretty dang hard to photograph as well.
Mine has the dual-humbuckers AND piezo pickups, with the 4 band EQ. The "street" price on this is nearly $2000, and MSRP is well over $2700. (link to stores with retail prices:

Even without the piezos, these sell for $1600+. Mine's a 2006 model. Other than the cracks on the front, it's mint! However, with those in mind, I have my price at $1050. As you can see, that's $600 less than a lesser equipped model from music123!
To sweeten the deal even more, I'll throw in an Ernie Ball / MusicMan fitted hardshell case in. I might even have a bunch of "casy candy" I can throw in, but that's cheap things :p.
$1050 is the lowest I can go - I'm not much interested in trades at this point either. Best method of initial contact is via e-mail.
Thanks!
