I really love these instruments... not as much as my "real" family... but as far as inanimate objects go... they're up there. :)

They ALL really have their own voice, big time.

The 25th Fretless is probably my "go-to" bass, it is just so frickin' comfortable it isn't even funny. It really can pull off a "vintage" tone, or a fake upright, or a rock bass, or a funk macheen... whatever I ask. Light, balanced, and oh so fretless.

The Bongo is its own beast.... "Beast" being the key word. I've never taken flats off an instrument before... but I did with this one. It WANTS to be different. This one is going to get Tape's or Group II Chromes.... It wants to blow things up. The Piezo makes it SOOO punchy, but with the mags and the Bongo-licious 18v Preamp it is as DEEP as the Grand Canyon.

The 25th BFR... RICH... DEEP.... RESONANT. This one has a thump and ring quality. Different then the Fretless. This one sounds like a massive Bell.... it just rings and sings, but it such a vast, deep, rich, resonant sort of way. It feels like the Eon's of Time are echoeing back through its strings with each note, Crystal Clear.

If you ever want to part with the bfr rosewood, I'll be there!

From my SR5 bfr I just can guess how fantastic this neck has to sound with the mahagony toneblock and the posibilities of th 25th.

Impressive collection there!

OMG.... I'm really proud of my own collection, but it only takes your three to blow mine out of the water. Congratulations! I'd so want to have a 25th HH with rosewood neck...

Love the two fretlessessessess - I'd have either one, or preferably both at once, err, can I say that?

Matt, man You already know what I think about this collection!

Anyway, if You ever decide to sell this Dargie Delight II Bongo 5 HSp, let me know!

I'm sure we're gonna find a way to transfer it to me and my money to Ya, no matter about the long distance between us! ;)
