Bongo with Pau Ferro fretboard?
Hi.
I found a Bongo 4HH on eBay, and the seller says that it has a Pau Ferro fretboard. Are there made some Bongos with Pau Ferro (fretted) or is the seller wrong here? It's only one picture, and it's not easy to see, but I think it looks like rosewood ... Rosewood or Pau Ferro?

The seller is incorrect. That's not 'charcoal gray with a pearl pickguard.' It's sapphire black with a moonstone (I believe) pickguard.
And, it's also a Rosewood fretboard. I don't think the seller is being deceptive so much as not being entirely sure about the details.

I don't think the color is sapphire black. I have the exact same bass, and it's not sapphire black (but I can't remember what it's called though
 ).Btw, pau ferro is brighter than rosewood, right?

That looks like the classic GC Bongo...Sapphire Black with Moonstone guard. It might be Graphite Pearl.
