Question Does anyone own the Ball Family Reserve Rosewood neck basses?

BEAUTIFUL BFRs and Dargie Sterling!
I am stupid for selling my Dargie one ray HS4.
ughhhhhh.
And for selling my Dargie II bongo H4 as well.
And the 30th ray and and and .....
Wish I could have kept them all

Congrats on the rare Bongo, nothing better than a pair of HH basses with solid RW necks!

Thanks!
I am normally not a tort kinda guy either. But I agree it works well on the true gold and rosewood.

It's funny reading through this thread, with basses going back and forth This one is headed my way to keep my BFR rosewood necked Ray company! Woot!

Enjoy that true gold goodness man.
I think it was yet ANOTHER massive brain fart on my part letting that rare beauty go.
BUT? Had a good reason for it
At least it went to a good home! Enjoy her bro!

 

[MarkusBass]

Thanks Dan! Will do...I'll post a photo of the pair later today!

My rw-necked Bongo is the best bongo Ive ever played, by far.

Ha. This couldn't be more true. The beauty on the right is now headed my way.

Nice!!!

 

[kylierider]

Nice!!!

Yes most definitely nice..I have always really liked those rosewood necked BFR's. That ice blue or whatever it is sure is a beautiful color, especially with the pickguard color choice.

I agree that certain EB wood combo "special" basses seem to stick out a little and outshine the others. My fretless 30th anniversary SR seems to fall into this category a well.

Does anyone know if anyone scored an all rosewood fretless bfr when they were available to order? That would just be too cool! Ha, look at me. Don't even have my all rosewood bongo in yet and I'm already jonesin' for another!
