NBD: 25th HSS bliss

Smoooookin'!
Did a gig with it yesterday, and am happy (though not really surprised) to report that it sounds and plays every bit as good as it looks - just lovely. Thanks BP and team!

Welcome to the club. I just picked your quilted brother, and I am also quite pleased.

Play it in good health.

Lovely bass you have there John, that quilt top is badass! Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.

Thanks Matt! Yeah, the 25th really has many sweet voices, so far I especially like the complexity and still straightforward sound of all PU's together.

Congrats on a beauty.

Enjoy

Cheers man!

Beautiful.

It is, innit? I was half expecting the 25th to be pretty close in character to the Big Al 4SSS, but the tonal characters are in fact really different. Where the BA is more aggressive and forward, the 25th is more mellow and full. Both of them great though!

Thanks Oli! From old habit I always install those kinds of strap pins on my basses, and black really was a given for the 25th, glad you approve.

Thanks man and good point, I'll definitely agree to that. However, the 25th was a different flavour of great than I had anticipated. Oh joy!

Awesomeness!

Thanks Magnus, we'll need to meet up with Jan sometime soon.
