Using your Ernie Ball Music Man Bongo 4 bass guitar is a breeze. First, make sure your guitar is properly tuned using the custom Music Man tuning machines. Then, plug it into an amplifier to start playing. You can adjust the 4 - band EQ to get the sound you want, whether it's a deep, booming tone or a bright, clear one. When you're done playing, always put your guitar in a case to protect it from scratches and dents. Keep it away from extreme temperatures and humidity, as these can damage the wood and electronics. Wipe down the strings after each use with a soft cloth to prevent corrosion and to keep them sounding their best. Periodically, check the bridge and tuning machines for any loose parts and tighten them if necessary. Also, if you notice the action getting too high or low, it might be time to have the guitar set up by a professional.
