Sterling has delivered the acclaimed Bongo 5 bass in an accessible extended-range package, perfect for players of all skill levels and styles to deliver dominating low end. This contoured body is crafted from bayur wood and finished in a sleek Stealth Black satin finish. With a black pickguard and black hardware, the aesthetics of this Bongo 5 are unmatched. Producing resonant low-end tones with enough midrange and high-end presence to cut through a mix, this Bongo supplies a sound that is perfectly applicable to a wide array of genres. Attached to the body is a roasted maple neck, topped with a rosewood fingerboard adorned with white dot inlays.

Supporting this Bongo 5 is a Sterling-designed bridge, supplying proper intonation for a consistent bass-playing experience. At the headstock, open-gear tuning machines maintain stable pitch across all five strings. Amplifying this Bongo 5 are a pair of ceramic humbucking pickups controlled by an active 2-band preamp. Each pickup has a dedicated blend control, while a two-band EQ allows for tonal shaping that makes each player's tone their own.
