2004 Ernie Ball Musicman Bongo

I finally succumbed to the hype about these "unusually" styled basses, and I have to say they play and sound as good as any bass on the market. Dual humbuckers with an 18 volt preamp and 4 band EQ makes for a huge sound. The tort pickguard is a subsequent addition, replacing the ghastly looking black pearloid one that came as standard.
