25th HSS 5 just showed up!

[OutToPlayJazz]

Stunning bass you have there! Out of interest, does anyone know if the 25th is going to continue in production, or is it a limited run instrument?

 

[oli@bass]

The 25th as you can see it is a limited run. AFAIK, the ordering window is alread closed.

There will be a production bass that looks similar. But my guess is that it will not use the delicious wood cocktail you can see on the 25th.

If that is the case, then these limited run anniversary editions should be increasing in value over time???

There is still one available at my local music shop...maybe I should grab it instead of a Bongo???

Yes grab it, you can get always a wonderful Bongo at a later date. The Reflex might be similarly specced, but you won't get it in that stunning Venetian Redburst colour anymore and yes they 25th will keep its value among "connossaires" don't expect the average Warwick owner to be impressed but those like us who appreciate EBMM will know the 25th is a collector item as well as the mother of all basses.

You are screwing with my mind...

Should I do it, should I do it....

I once read this script from somewhere, I can't remember where I've found it but I kept it as a reminder to self, in situations to come:

"First I was dying to finish my high school and start college
And then I was dying to finish college and start working
Then I was dying to marry and have children
And then I was dying for my children to grow old enough so I could get back to work
But then I was dying to retire and...
and now I am dying... and suddlenly I relaized I forgot to live
Please don't let that happen to you, appreciate your current situation
and enjoy each day.
... old friend"

I think what he means is... buy the damn 25th already!

 

[projectapollo]

Buy the 25th. I am a Bongo fan, but the 25th I got about a month ago is seriously a better instrument. I believe BP when he says that the 25th represents everything EB has learned with the newer electronics, tone block, and the like. The more I pay the 25th, the more I ONLY play the 25th.

 

[oli@bass]

If you have the opportunity, get the 25th!

I'm saying that, and I'm a Stingroid

 

[Mogee]

very nice flame.... And why does everybody take better pictures of their basses than me ....

+1

Should I do it, should I do it....

If you are investing then get a 25th and don't ever play it. If you intend to play, then get what makes YOU feel good NOW. I bought a Bongo instead of a 25th in August because I liked it better. Now the 25th came out with a BFR rosewood neck and I got that, so I'm glad I didn't get the 25th then and I'm glad I got a 25th now. Bottom line- don't speculate on guitars; go see, fondle and play before you buy.

Couldn't help quoting and highlighting this for you GW!
