Designed in collaboration with legendary Dream Theater bassist John Myung, the Ernie Ball Music Man John Myung Bongo 4 HH represents the culmination of more than a decade of refinement between one of progressive music's most respected players and the engineering team at Music Man. Built to John's exacting specifications, this Artist Series model combines cutting-edge design, exceptional ergonomics, and uncompromising performance into a bass that excels on the world's biggest stages and in the most demanding studio environments.
Finished in the striking JM Purple, the John Myung Bongo 4 HH features a compact, perfectly balanced basswood body paired with a roasted maple neck and a unique rosewood and roasted maple "Golden Ratio" fingerboard. The result is an instrument that feels incredibly comfortable while delivering outstanding stability, fast response, and effortless playability across all 24 high-profile frets.
Powering this modern masterpiece is a pair of Music Man neodymium humbucking pickups, offering exceptional clarity, articulation, and punch. The simplified electronic layout, developed specifically for John Myung, features an intuitive 5-way pickup selector along with a convenient on/off volume switch, providing instant access to a wide range of powerful tones while keeping the controls streamlined and performance-focused.
Additional premium appointments include Music Man's robust steel bridge with stainless steel saddles for exceptional sustain and precise intonation, lightweight custom tuners for superior balance, and a sculpted 5-bolt neck joint that allows unrestricted access to the upper frets. The hand-rubbed oil and wax neck finish provides an exceptionally smooth, natural feel that players will appreciate during extended performances.
Whether you're navigating intricate progressive compositions, laying down tight studio tracks, or simply seeking one of the most innovative basses ever produced, the Ernie Ball Music Man John Myung Bongo 4 HH delivers world-class craftsmanship, effortless playability, and the unmistakable tone that has helped define one of modern music's most accomplished bassists.
