MUSICMAN BONGO 6 Neck...Is it strong enough?????

[Baird]

"Make him a Bongo 6 with a cast iron neck, covered in grapite, with 6 truss rods... one for each string!"

That metal necked monstrosity would be a failure in Canada.

It's never good when your fretting hand sticks and freezes to the neck of your bass during an outdoor gig in the middle of a Neil Young or Gordon Lightfoot song.

Hmmmm..... HEATED trussrods. I had better get to the patent office!

why would you ask a question like that? do you really think the people at Music Man are stupid, and lack the intelligence to build stable instruments? they have a great track record, and make instruments that kick the butts of other competitors. you need to give the people at Music Man a lot more credit, they deserve it!

I have my fingers crossed.......

LoL ... just blew my morning coffee all over the keyboard

We did the Math...

Bongo 6 vs Bongo 5

The tension increase by the additional C string= 16%.
The material increase in the 6 string neck= 20%

The answer- Yes, it's more than strong enough to handle the additional load!
