I know that 3 isn't exactly a pair...

The fretless is on the right.

Isn't a pair, but You own an awesome trio!

With this trio You can really cover whole Stingray's tonal range!

Cool man, very cool! :)

P.S. ...can't see well, does this fretless have piezo?, ...if it does, that's really glory set!

Thanks. The SR5s have served me well, although I admit I've been gassing for an HS or HH Sterling 5.

The fretless doesn't have piezo. I've never heard one on a fretless, I'm sure it's interesting.

Not that I'm trying to influence your decision or anything....

No influence at all, but after long thinking I decided for this combo!

I hesitated between Stingrays and Bongos ('cause available piezo on 5er) and Bongos 5 are winners under one condition, piezo!

This fretted must be a dual pickup (I prefer HSp, but HHp is OK too) and fretless definitely single Hp!

Another reason for Bongo pair is ultimate 4 band EQ and pickup and piezo balance pots which allows precise balance!

Thank you, everybody! :D

I know I'm a lucky bastard to have them, and I do love them!!! As hard as it would be to pick two of all of my basses to keep as the only ones, these two must be the chosen ones.
