Duarte, this is Bongo I would really like to own!

Everything is perfect matched, color, PG, pickup configuration, piezo..., fantastic!

Question: You have never answered to me what's that thing between the pickups on Your "old" HS Bongo?

I'm not sure the correct name for that but you see guys like Hadrien Feraud use these, I beleive it's for like a Flamingo Style of playing, it helps the fingers move over the strings so that they don't go too deep into the strings, this is just what I've seen live.

Some sort of 'ramp', like the one Gary Willis has on his Bass?

Love the Bongo's, especially the one with the gold swirl pickguard

Thanks! Yes, the Ebony framed Mother of Pearl inlays really did it for my. Birds eye maple would have been even nicer but probably raised the price tag out of my limits :-)

It plays as nice as it looks.

Nail on the head, Musicman nut. There's your answer Keko, its called a 'Ramp' and just improves ease of playing and makes for a perfectly light clean way of playing, it also aids in providing a smoother sound. I didn't install it on this bass, the previous owner did (Paul_C) and he is a pro, so it's okay.

Thanks man! Yeah it's a bad bad bass for sure. A complete sonic machine.
