If you were going to own only two EBMM's, one fretted and the other fretless, and it was the same model and string count, regardless of pickup configuration, which one would it be? Explain your answer if you like.

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

25th or Bongo... Or both.

25ths don't have Piezos... Bongo don't have dual single coil pups or Mahog tone block...

Why I chose the Bongo 5Hp as my fretless:

- 5 strings keeps the platform the same as I switch back and forth.

- H puts the pickup in the sweet spot.

- Piezo adds the special sauce and gives me the awesome 4-band EQ.

- Dudley's amazing 18-volt Bongo electronics.

Not had a lot of dealing with fretless so cant realy comment, if i were to start looking for one it would definatly have to be a stingray, dont ask or no why but .... somthing tells me it just would have to be ... stingray all the way :)

SR5 or 25th

I love my SR5's, but I tried the Big Al, and that is totally rad! I may have to vote for those 25th's, simply for the push button options!
