Hold – Ernie Ball Music Man BFR Bongo 5 HH – Crescendo #18/66
The BFR Bongo 5 Crescendo is a basswood body 5 string bass with dual humbucking pickups in an exclusive all-white sparkle finish. The Roasted flame-maple neck and fingerboard is outfitted with 24 nickel frets and comes standard without fretboard inlays. This special edition BFR Bongo 5 is beautifully accented with gold-plated hardware, gold pickup pole pieces, black control knobs and comes without a pickguard to provide a cleaner, simplified look. The Bongo comes standard with an 18-volt 4 Band Preamp, matching painted headstock, and is limited to just 66 pieces worldwide.
The Ball family is the last of a dying breed, a family business making premium guitars and basses on the California central coast since 1984. Sterling Ball, alongside his sons Brian and Scott, combine the laser precision of robotics and old-world hand craftsmanship to develop innovative instrument designs that push the boundaries of performance and playability.
